dear nikunj, First of all, thank you for taking the time to review questions from viewers. Your efforts are truly appreciated from the bottom of my heart. I would be really grateful if you could review my investment portfolio. I invest 64,000/- every month in a direct mutual fund, and my plan is to continue this for the next 10 years. ICICI Pru Bluechip - 12,000/- Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip - 4,000/- Axis Mid-cap - 5,000/- HDFC Mid-cap Opp - 5,000/- Axis Small-cap - 6,500/- Quant Active - 6,500/- Parag Parikh Flexi-cap - 8,000/- UTI Nifty 50 - 6,000/- Navi Nasdaq - 6,000/- Tata Digital Industries - 5,000/- Please let me know if you see any need for corrections or changes in my portfolio. Thank you.

Ans: Dear Rahul
I have just no idea about your age, future financial goals, your risk profile, other investments and whether you would have the nerves to not get unduly perturbed if stock markets go temporarily down. Hence, please note that I am answering your question in absolute isolation to other parameters which should definitely be considered when answering a question of this type.

My recommendation only on the past performance and anticipated future outlook of your funds is as below:-
1. Parag Parikh flexicap - Good fund. Continue.
2. Mirae Asset mid cap fund - Good fund. Continue.
3. Axis small cap fund - As below
4. Canara robeco small cap – Too many small cap funds. Retain this one. Switch out others unless ready to take very high risk in portfolio.
5. Quant small cap – As above
6. PGIM mid cap fund - Good fund. Continue.

However, do note that you are taking a very high risk in your portfolio with 2 midcap and 3 small cap funds. Do consult a financial advisor to rebalance your portfolio.

Ans: Hello and thank you for writing to me. Assuming that you are investing for the long run, the funds you invest in are good funds and you can continue investing in them.

Ans: You don't need to invest in so many schemes. There is a lot of overlap in your mutual fund portfolio holdings if you look at individual scheme's portfolios. So just investing the same monthly amount in up to 4 funds would be more than sufficient. You can pick one from Largecap Index Fund, 1-2 from a Flexicap/Large&Midcap Fund, 1-2 from Mid/Smallcap funds and that should be sufficient. In general, most investors are better off avoiding thematic/sectoral funds.
