Dear Sir , I am 52 years old . Mainly investing through Mutual funds since 2016 ( though it was bit late ) targeting to build up a corpus of at least 1.2 crore at the age of 62 which is my retirement age . I am a self employed professional . I used to invest 40000/- per month since 2016 but due to financial obstacles recently had to stop all the SIP . Now , at present my total MF corpus 42 L against an investment value 31 lakhs , weighted average days 850 days . I am not sure if I am able to restart the SIPs in near future . So , I want to grow the present corpus to that level in next 10 years . Presently , my portfolio is over-diversified comprising 44 funds from 10 fund houses . Out of it 98 % in equity & 2% liquid . My present portfolio average XIRR is 13.88 % . I do seek an advice from you that how should I relocate / reconstruct my port folios in order to build up the above corpus which demand a 300 % growth in next years . I wanted to attach my portfolio detailed report but couldn't find scope to attach the same in this post .with thanks & best regards ; Suprabhat jatty
Ans: Suprabhat, it's great to see your commitment to building a substantial corpus for your retirement despite facing financial obstacles. Considering your situation, here are some suggestions to optimize your portfolio and work towards your goal:

Consolidate and Simplify: With 44 funds in your portfolio, it may be challenging to manage effectively. Consider consolidating your holdings into fewer funds to streamline your portfolio and reduce overlap.
Focus on Quality: Prioritize quality over quantity when selecting funds. Choose well-managed funds with a consistent track record of outperformance and a strong investment philosophy aligned with your goals.
Review and Rebalance: Regularly review your portfolio's performance and rebalance as needed to maintain your desired asset allocation and risk level. Focus on high-conviction funds and consider exiting underperforming ones.
Reallocate Towards Growth: Since you're aiming for a significant growth in your corpus, consider reallocating a larger portion of your portfolio towards growth-oriented assets like mid-cap and small-cap funds, which have the potential to deliver higher returns over the long term.
Seek Professional Advice: Consider consulting with a Certified Financial Planner who can provide personalized guidance based on your financial situation and goals. They can help you develop a customized investment strategy and monitor your progress towards achieving your retirement target.
Remember, building wealth requires discipline, patience, and a well-thought-out investment approach. Stay focused on your long-term objectives and be prepared to make adjustments along the way as your financial circumstances evolve. Best of luck on your journey towards achieving your retirement goal!

I am seeking guidance on my current financial situation. I am 50 years old, with a net take-home income of 1.42 lacs per month, while my wife earns approximately 75k monthly. We have two daughters pursuing higher education, with annual fees totalling 6.10 lacs. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, I faced a significant setback when I was unable to pay my home loan EMI, leading me to opt for a moratorium. Despite having already paid approximately 43.85 lakhs towards my home loan of 58.50 lakhs taken in 2017, the principal outstanding has astonishingly increased to 59.45 lakhs. I now find myself committed to an EMI of 65,000 monthly, further straining our financial resources. To cover both my daughters first-year college fees, I took out a gold loan of 5.5 lakhs, for which I currently pay 50,000 a month. I had invested in a family health insurance policy with Star Health, covering 10 lakhs, but due to poor service I stopped paying my premium, which had an accrued value of 17.50 lakhs. I hold a provident fund account with a balance of 2.5 lakhs. I am concerned about planning for my elder daughter's wedding in the next 2 to 3 years and my retirement. I would appreciate any advice or strategies you could provide to help me navigate this situation effectively.
Ans: Hello;

Try and understand from the home loan lender as to how 59.45 L principal is overdue despite paying a sum of 43.85 L, despite factoring 80% of this as interest payment, the overdue principal should be below 50 L.

Double check if this is as per the terms of moratorium.

If you are not satisfied with replies from the lender escalate the matter to the highest authority at lender or RBI.

Lender can't behave irrationally just because you availed moratorium during COVID.

In my view you should have just sold the gold rather then taking loan against it.

That way you could have lessened EMI burden on your finances and ensured investments for retirement and other goals.

Unfortunately we have a tradition of attaching emotional value to precious metals and real estate.

The best "jewellery" you can offer to your kids is good education, which you have already done.

In matters of health insurance never discontinue a policy due to dissatisfaction with the insurer, port it to another insurer, 1.5/2 months before the renewal date so that your benefits remain intact. Now you may be need to find another health care insurance.

You may begin a monthly sip of 25-30 K in diversified large cap oriented mutual fund for 5 years.

Also give a thought to NPS, you can contribute till 70 age, for retirement pension.

Best wishes;

I am 42 years old male currently working as a software engineer in a private company and drawing 1.1 lakhs per month. I have 2 school going kids. My monthly expenses are around 80K per month including rent. I don't have any personal property in my name. I have invested 50L in postal term deposit(yearly payout), 20L in Shriram transport finance FD(monthly payout), 11 lakh in HDFC balanced fund dividend(monthly payout), 6L in bank FD(monthly payout) all in my wife's name. I have invested 28L in my HUF account against Shriram Transport Finance FD (monthly payout). I have around 20L in EPF and Gratuity. I have around 8 lakhs in miscellaneous Mutual funds with a monthly sip of around 36K. Most of my investments pay me monthly return except this SIP. I have done so as software job is very fragile which can go any time. However I have maxed out on the return I can take per year on my wife's head (7L) and HUF(2.5L) without tax liability. Please advise how I can invest further to get returns so that I can quickly withstand any job loss.
Ans: Hello;

You have already made sufficient provisions to survive a job loss because your passive monthly income is now almost covering your monthly expenses.

But if you need added back-up you may keep expenses worth 6 months(@ 5 L) in a liquid type mutual fund.

Focus on 3 goals;
1. Children's education
2. Retirement
3. House

If you again keep investing in fixed income bearing instruments then you may not be able to grow a corpus to fund these goals.

A mutual fund sip(36 K) is a step in the right direction. I believe these are scheme with Growth option.

Hope you have EPF/NPS/PPF investments as well.

Happy Investing;
