Ans: Hello Sarath and thanks for writing to me. You can continue investing in Nippon India Small Cap Fund, PPFAS Flexi Cap Fund and Canara Robeco Bluechip Fund.

You can consider pausing SIPs in UTI Nifty Next 50 and instead consider starting SIP in Edelweiss NIFTY 100 Quality 30 Index Fund.

Ans: Let's analyze your chosen SIP portfolio and discuss some potential adjustments:

Current Portfolio Breakdown:

Focus on Large & Mid-Cap: UTI Nifty 50 and UTI Next 50 focus on large and mid-cap companies, offering good growth potential but also some risk.

Two Mid-Cap Funds: Having Navi Midcap 150 and another mid-cap fund (Quant Small) might have some overlap in holdings.

Flexi-Cap Fund: Parag Parikh Flexi Cap offers diversification across market capitalizations, which is a positive.

Potential for Improvement:

Reduce Overlap: Consider consolidating your mid-cap allocation by potentially choosing just one well-diversified mid-cap fund.

Review Actively Managed vs. Passively Managed: UTI Nifty 50 and UTI Next 50 are actively managed funds, which involve higher fees. Research passively managed index funds to understand their cost structure.

Here's a Suggestion (but consult a CFP for a personalized plan):

Large & Mid-Cap (40%): Invest in a diversified large & mid-cap fund (like a Nifty 50 Index Fund).

Multi-Cap (30%): Consider a Multi-cap fund that invests across market capitalizations.

Flexi-Cap (30%): Maintain your investment in Parag Parikh Flexi Cap for diversification.

Remember:

Risk Tolerance: This is just a suggestion. Adjust the allocation based on your risk tolerance and investment goals.

Review Regularly: Review your portfolio (at least annually) with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) to ensure it remains aligned with your goals.

Professional Guidance: A CFP can analyze your risk profile, financial goals, and existing investments to create a personalized SIP plan.

Overall, your chosen funds are from reputable AMCs. However, some adjustments can potentially improve diversification and potentially reduce costs!
