Ans: Review the performance of each fund and consider factors like consistency, fund manager expertise, and alignment with your investment goals. Exit funds with consistently poor performance or if your investment thesis has changed. Continue with funds that have demonstrated strong performance and align with your long-term goals.

To estimate the amount generated after 15 years, consider the historical returns of each fund, but remember past performance is not indicative of future results. Utilize online calculators or consult a financial advisor for a more accurate projection based on your specific investment amounts and expected returns.

For additional investments of 5000 per month, consider diversifying across different asset classes like large-cap, mid-cap, and flexi-cap funds to spread risk. Research funds with a track record of consistent performance and align with your risk tolerance and investment horizon. Consulting a financial advisor can provide personalized recommendations based on your financial goals and risk profile.

NPS --------------------- 5000 Rs (annually) I would also like to hear from you, that whether reshuffling is required in my portfolio. Eager to hear from you soon.
Ans: Review of your Investment Portfolio
Strengths:

Regular Savings: You're consistently contributing through SIPs in various mutual funds, PPF, NPS, and LIC, which is a positive aspect for long-term wealth creation.
Diversification: You have a good mix of multi-cap and flexi-cap funds, along with tax-saving options (ELSS) through SIPs. This provides some diversification across market capitalizations and offers tax benefits.
Areas for Potential Review:

Number of Funds: Having nine SIPs across different mutual funds can be complex to manage and rebalance. Consider consolidating some funds with similar investment styles. Three to five well-chosen funds can provide sufficient diversification.
Equity Allocation: While you have some tax-saving SIPs, the overall weightage towards equity might be on the lower side for a 10-12 year investment horizon, considering your target corpus of Rs. 70-80 lakh.
LIC Policy: LIC policies offer life insurance and savings, but their returns might be lower than pure investment options. Analyze the returns of your LIC policy and consider if it aligns with your goals. Speak to your advisor for potential alternatives.
Reshuffling Considerations (Consult a Financial Advisor for Specific Recommendations):

Consolidation: Consider merging some of your multi-cap funds with similar investment styles. This will simplify your portfolio and reduce management complexity.
Increase Equity Allocation: Discuss with a financial advisor about potentially increasing your SIP contributions in existing equity funds or starting a new SIP in a large-cap or mid-cap fund to potentially boost your equity exposure and align it better with your investment horizon.
Here are some additional tips:

Emergency Fund: Maintain an emergency fund with 3-6 months of living expenses to cover unexpected costs. Park this in a liquid instrument like a savings account or short-term debt fund.
Review and Rebalance: Regularly review your portfolio performance (at least annually) and rebalance if needed to maintain your desired asset allocation.
Goal-based Investment: Consider aligning specific investments with your retirement goals. Equity funds can be suitable for long-term goals like retirement, while debt funds can be good for shorter-term goals.
Reaching your target corpus of Rs. 70-80 lakh in 10-12 years might require:

Potentially increasing your SIP contributions in existing equity funds.
Analyzing and potentially adjusting your LIC policy if the returns don't align with your goals.
Remember:

This is a general overview, and consulting a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) is highly recommended for a personalized plan considering your specific risk tolerance, financial goals, and investment time horizon.
Disciplined investment and staying invested for the long term are crucial for achieving your financial goals.
By strategically reviewing your portfolio, potentially consolidating funds, and potentially increasing your equity allocation, you can improve your chances of reaching your desired corpus.

Ans: Hello,
first of all, you need to calm down & settle down your negative thought process. At least you are clear & honest enough to admit your mistakes. That's the first step towards success.

Decide your goal & make a road map to achieve it. Follow it diligently & avoid distractions that come along the journey. If you are unable to control your negative thoughts seek professional counseling. All the best.
