I have the following SIPs in mutual funds 1) ICICI Pru Value Discovery Fund (Growth) – Rs. 1500, 2) ICICI Pru Infrastructure Fund (Growth) – Rs. 500, 3) Tata Digital India Fund (Growth) – Rs. 500, 4) HDFC Tax Saver Fund (Growth) – Rs. 2000, 5) DSP Flexi Cap Fund (Growth) – Rs. 1500, 6) Kotak Emerging Equity Fund (Growth) – Rs. 1500, 7) Nippon India Multi Cap Fund (Growth) – Rs. 1000, 8) Nippon India Small Cap Fund (Growth) – Rs. 2000. Please let me know seeing the above funds, what corpus can it build in 10 years time.

Ans: Given the SIP amounts and the mix of funds you have, it's reasonable to expect a substantial corpus over 10 years, especially considering the potential for compounding growth in equity funds. However, the exact corpus will depend on market performance, fund returns, and consistency in your SIP contributions. Regularly review your portfolio and make adjustments as needed to stay on track with your financial goals. Consider consulting a financial advisor for personalized guidance tailored to your specific needs and objectives.

Hello Sir, I have started investing in sip from last month's and investing around 65k per month in 7 mutual funds which includes Nippon small cap,quant small cap, quant mid cap, Edelweiss balanced fund, canara robeco bluechip ,HDFC nifty 50 and Parag parikh flexi cap. As I want to make a Corpus of 1 crore in next 7-10 years is it good to continue with these funds or I need to do some changes. Please advise
Ans: Your initiative to start SIPs and invest ?65,000 monthly is commendable. At 7-10 years, achieving a corpus of ?1 crore is a realistic goal. Let's review your current funds and see if any adjustments are needed.

Current Fund Analysis

Nippon Small Cap and Quant Small Cap

Small cap funds offer high growth potential but are volatile. Holding two small cap funds increases risk. Diversifying to other categories can balance this risk.

Quant Mid Cap

Mid cap funds balance growth and stability. They are less volatile than small cap funds. This fund adds valuable diversity to your portfolio.

Edelweiss Balanced Fund

Balanced funds, also known as hybrid funds, invest in equity and debt. They provide stability and moderate growth. This is a good choice for risk management.

Canara Robeco Bluechip Fund

Large cap funds invest in well-established companies. They offer stability and steady returns. This fund adds a layer of safety to your portfolio.

HDFC Nifty 50

Nifty 50 index funds track the performance of the Nifty 50 index. However, actively managed funds often outperform index funds. Consider switching to an actively managed large cap fund.

Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund

Flexi cap funds invest across market capitalizations. They provide flexibility and diversification. This is a strong choice for a long-term portfolio.

Diversification and Risk Management

Diversification is crucial to managing risk. Your portfolio should balance growth and stability. Small cap funds should not dominate your portfolio. Consider reducing exposure to small caps.

Advantages of Actively Managed Funds

Actively managed funds adjust to market conditions. Fund managers seek opportunities for higher returns. This can outperform passive index funds like HDFC Nifty 50.

Regular Review and Adjustment

Regular reviews ensure your investments align with goals. Adjustments may be necessary as market conditions change. Consulting a Certified Financial Planner can provide personalized advice.

Investment Strategy for Corpus Growth

Reduce Small Cap Exposure

Keep only one small cap fund.
Diversify remaining investment into other categories.
Increase Large Cap and Balanced Fund Allocation

Allocate more to large cap and balanced funds.
These funds provide stability and steady growth.
Consider Multi Cap Funds

Multi cap funds invest in large, mid, and small caps.
They offer balanced growth and risk management.
Switch from Index Fund to Actively Managed Fund

Consider an actively managed large cap fund.
These funds aim to outperform the market index.
Empathy and Understanding

Your dedication to securing your financial future is admirable. Balancing growth and stability in your portfolio shows wisdom. Your goal of ?1 crore is achievable with the right strategy.

Conclusion

Your current mutual fund investments are strong. However, reducing small cap exposure and adding more large cap and balanced funds can enhance stability and growth. Regularly review and adjust your portfolio. Consulting with a Certified Financial Planner can provide tailored advice. Your commitment to investing wisely will ensure you achieve your financial goals.

Relationship
Me and my wife are happily married for 10 years and having a twins 4 years before. This incident happened 8 years ago, when my wife and her cousin visited the home town for a temple function they reconnected with this guy who is their old friend ( a distinct relative also), this person had an interest on my wife before marriage and my wife rejected. Now this person is married and having one kid. when they reconnected my wife's cousin used to do conference calls along with this person and my wife. My wife asked me is it ok to talk. i said yes it is fine but just maintain a boundary. So she wont attend all the calls from them. Attended some conference calls for 5 to 15 min and drop the call saying my husband don't like me in phone too much. this happens weekly once or twice for 2 month. they also had a watsapp group, in that they had friendly chat between them, mostly between wife's cousin and that person. My wife reply was very less. but when i was going through the messages they are not flirty messages, there i saw my wife saying very positive about our relationship and her cousin also agreed to that saying they are the best couples. but that person has addressed my wife's cousin and my wife occasionally as honey and dear. but both of them ignored and not asked them to stop calling like that. when i checked this with my wife she said that person calls everyone as honey/dear even her sisters and other cousin.it is habitual for him so she found no meaning in that and she is not bothered to correct that. thats why she ignored. i asked her to stop talking to him. My wife told she already stopped talking with him as he tried to make personal calls as she did not like it. that time the wats group also not active so she exited from the group and blocked his number. Recently we came to know that one of the relative girl got into affair with this person and this person got divorced due to that 1. Does words like honey can be used in friendly way. i have many freinds in other gender i never used honey even though i used 'dear' occassionaly. As he used this word with my wife, Does this make my wife less pure than other women's. is this cheating ? 2. I cant come in to terms with the fact my wife talked to a person who is a womanizer. does this affect my wife's reputation in the society. they never met in person other than this temple function reconnect.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
What is cheating and what is not is purely based on the Book of Rules that each of us have within us; it comes from the way we have been raised on a diet of 'right' and 'wrong' AND from our own experiences.
While validating whether a particular rule works well or not, just put in into context and see it.
- Does that rule keep you away from actually seeing things more openly?
- Does that rule keep you occupied with small things that hold no value?

I guess, you must think of it: is this really cheating? When your wife says that she has stopped talking to him, what makes you still obsess over it?
Also, her rule book says that 'honey' and 'dear' might not be a big thing...Plus, how can she control what another person says...yes, she could have objected and she didn't but not that she played on it.

See, the second doubts have crept in, the mind goes all over the place...even if there are no flirty messages, you will still find something problematic to confirm that what you were thinking in the first place.
So, maybe you need to look within to understand if there are jealousies and insecurities within you and that is what is occupying your mind. If Yes, then address this; speak with your wife and it's fine to tell her that you feel hurt and that you don't like it. When you are frank, a lot of things get sorted out...she may very well understand your point of view...and on your part, as you have said: she used to reply less and not respond much to him...
Do you want unnecessary thoughts drive a wedge in your marriage? Speak it out and things fall in place...

All the best!
