Ans: It's great that you're investing in mutual funds for your future financial goals! Let's review your current mutual fund portfolio and make some suggestions:

SBI Small Cap, SBI Focused Equity, and SBI Blue Chip Fund:
SBI Funds are reputable and have a track record of performance. However, it's essential to review their performance periodically to ensure they continue to meet your investment objectives.
Nippon India Small Cap and Quant Small Cap Fund:
Small-cap funds can offer high growth potential but also come with higher risk. Ensure you have a long-term investment horizon and the risk tolerance to withstand market volatility.
Parag Parikh Flexi Cap:
Flexi-cap funds provide flexibility to invest across market caps. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund is known for its diversified portfolio and focus on quality stocks. It's a good choice for long-term wealth creation.
Suggestions:

Review Performance: Periodically review the performance of your mutual funds to ensure they align with your investment goals and risk tolerance.
Diversification: Consider diversifying your portfolio further by adding funds from different fund houses or investing in different asset classes like debt or international funds.
Regular Monitoring: Keep an eye on the performance of your funds and make adjustments as needed. If any fund consistently underperforms its benchmark or peers, consider replacing it with a better-performing alternative.
Consult a Financial Advisor: Consider consulting a Certified Financial Planner for personalized advice tailored to your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. A professional can help optimize your portfolio and ensure it remains aligned with your objectives.
Overall, your mutual fund portfolio seems well-diversified, but it's essential to monitor its performance regularly and make adjustments as needed to stay on track towards your long-term financial goals. Keep up the good work and continue investing systematically for your future!

Money

Male, Age is 29, Salary of Rs. 22000/- p.m., my expenses 6-8k p.m. (Approx), Current Investments: Mutual Funds 2k monthly, 3k RD monthly for 3 Yrs, what is suitable Health/Life/Term Insurance? ROI option for same? or Other Investment options? I have my father who got his pension & he manages our household Expenses.

Ans: Hello;

Insurance is not a investment.

It is a protection which you buy to safeguard your dependents, financially, in case of any unfortunate event.

Pure term plan with riders for critical illness and accident benefit is optimal.

Ideal life cover should be 15X-20X your annual income.

If you are keen then you may check term plans that offer return of premiums paid(less tax) if you survive the policy maturity period.

Healthcare insurance should be from a company that has:
1. High number of network hospitals throughout the country.
2. Low waiting period for pre-existing conditions.
3. High claim settlement ratio and simple & fast claim settlement.
4. Covers maternity expenses for female members.
5. Sum assured restoration benefit.

Both life and healthcare insurance premium payments are deductible under old regime of income tax.

PPF, NPS, bank FDs are other investment options.

Best wishes;

I am 39 years working women my current salary is 25k due to multiple unsecured loan trap my emi is reached to 55k per month . Most of the loan 75% emi repayment done but 2 loans emi is very high and remining tenure is almost 1.5 year total outstsnding appx 4.5 lacs really dont know how can i get over from this . Please advice

Ans: Hello;

Sell any gold which you may have and repay the loan. Once the loan burden is over you can buy gold again later.

Check if you can port the loan to another lender with lesser rate of interest.

Borrow from your close relatives/employer, if possible, to get you over the loan and repay it later.

If the recovery agents are harassing you beyond due follow-up then report it to the Police/RBI.

Please be firm and positive to get over this difficult phase.

However if you feel depressed kindly consult a psychiatrist.

My daughter is in class 12th and preparing for her Jee. What course she should take up which will have great opportunities in future

Ans: Yakub Sir, It would be beneficial to have a conversation with your daughter regarding her interests, strengths, and career aspirations—whether she plans to continue her studies after her BTech or gain experience before pursuing her Masters, either in India or abroad. Certain fields have historically drawn a higher number of female students in India, influenced by societal views, considerations of work-life balance, and available career prospects. Here are a few suggestions: (1) Computer Science Engineering (Core) (2) Computer Science Engineering (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning) (3) Computer Science Engineering (Artificial Intelligence & Data Science) (4) Information Technology (5) Electronics and Communication Engineering & (6) Biotechnology / Bioinformatics. Please also make sure that she joins a Colleg where the placements records have been good during the last 3 years. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future, Sir.

Hello Mr Shah How worth / meaningful will it be for a 55 yrs person to start investing in NPS. Yearly capability of investment around 3L, with investment horizon of 6-7 yrs. This option I’m weighing against couple of guaranteed return (yearly certain amount of fxd return till life) tax free insurance linked investments. Also let me know what is the minimum number of yrs one has to invest prior to withdrawal and how much max (%) can be withdrawn lump sum. Best! Regards

Ans: Hello;

6-7 year time horizon for NPS may not be optimal.

Also after 60, you may withdraw maximum of 60% of your investment value while the rest 40% has to compulsorily be utilised to buy an annuity.

Hello, I am 3 yr neet dropper.in 2025 it will be my third attempt... I'm trying my best to crack neet ...i don't know what will happen will i score good marks or not ... please help me in suggesting good career options if not crack neet .....there are many options through neet marks also like bhms , veterinary...etc. i will also give entrance exam also like cuet ,gbpuat ,....but i want that what to choose which course will be best for me ...i want to make my life good and happy... having a good degree, good job ,...

Ans: Hello.
Have you analyzed your failure in 2 successive attempts in the NEET examination? If yes, then the question is what you have done for improvement and not then again the question arises why not? Here, I would like to suggest you focus now only on the NEET examination which is your 3rd attempt. Don't think about any other options right now till May 2025. After the NEET exam is over, you have ample time to explore the options available. Depending on your score in NEET 2025, we will guide you at that time. But yet, if you are confused, then looking towards your question and anxiety, you need personal counseling where you can express yourself face-to-face. Only after the NEET exam is over, you contact a counsellor for one-to-one counseling. Till then, keep mum and focus only on NEET. Take this exam as your mission and project. Work on this project, apply forces from all sides, success is there which is waiting for you eagerly.
Best of luck for your bright future.

Some tips: (1) Analyse separately Phy, Che, Bio (2) Prepare a list of hard topics (3) First focus more on the topics which are easy for you and then try to excel in hard topics (4) Appear more and more online/offline examinations (4) Prepare your short-cut file for all subjects (5) Prepare a file for each subject having only synopsis of all chapters (6) Try to solve the problems at the lightening speed and observe the period on regular basis (7) Create your time table to revise the topics on regular basis (8) Do not hesitate to ask your difficulties to your teachers, if you have joined to offline classes (9) Keep the habit of marking the answers which you know 100%. Don't guess the answers and mark them, as there is -ve marking scheme. (10) Be calm, quite, and smiling all the time to release the tension and always have a healthy chat with your friends.

If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.

Question by RAGUL - Nov 17, 2024Hindi

Money

I am a new and first time investor (not a trader) right now I see market correction as a good entry for me and I got fet questions, 1.how long do we foresee this correction to happen (in weeks or months)? 2. Should I take entry in small steps across potential stocks so that I can average out? 3. I think this is the right time for this question - what potential stocks can give me 40 to 50% returns in next 12 to 15 months and 70 to 80% in next 24 months (this is a very optimistic number as I already see some good stocks had come down by 20 to 30%)

Ans: 1) Corrections are always temporary, and the growth is real for long term so now the downside is limited.
2) Yes, if you have Rs. 100 start investing Rs.25 and keep adding 25 in every fall.
3) All Blue Chips and then Mid Cap Companies. (Choose quality always)
