I have stopped 10 K SIP in Axis Blue chip mutual fund and have started 10 K SIP in Nippon large cap. I have 4 L in Axis Blue chip , should I redeem and reinvest in Nippon large cap or multi cap or keep it to protect capital gains.

Ans: Hello;

You may check the stock overlap in the two funds, if it is more then 20% then you may shift the corpus in a staggered way to avoid CG tax.

If the stock overlap is less than 20% then you may retain it because it gives you a relatively distinct and diversified stock holding.

You may be required to do this exercise each year but it will hardly take much time so it's okay.

Happy Investing;

I am 50 years. I have 20 K sip in Nippon large cap, 10 K in Nippon multicap and 5 K in HDFC Midcap opportunity fund. I have 5 L corpus in DSP small cap and 2 L in HDFC hybrid equity fund and 4 L in Axis Blue chip. Are my SIP OK or a change is needed? Should I redeem non sip funds and put in the three funds where SIP is there. Or should I redeem and put in FD? Please guide
Ans: Your portfolio demonstrates a disciplined approach to wealth building through SIPs and lump sum investments. The diversification across different fund categories is commendable, which is crucial for risk management. Let us carefully evaluate your current investments to determine if changes are necessary.

Analysis of Existing SIPs
Large-Cap Fund: Rs. 20,000 SIP
Large-cap funds provide stability with steady growth potential.
Returns may be consistent but not aggressive compared to mid or small-cap funds.
This fund is suitable for long-term goals and risk-averse investors.
Multicap Fund: Rs. 10,000 SIP
Multicap funds offer flexibility across market capitalizations.
They balance risk and reward well, diversifying across sectors.
This category suits medium-to-long-term goals with moderate risk appetite.
Midcap Fund: Rs. 5,000 SIP
Midcap funds are ideal for higher growth potential with increased volatility.
They can generate better returns during market uptrends.
This allocation aligns well for wealth creation over 8–10 years.
Evaluation of Lump Sum Investments
DSP Small Cap Fund: Rs. 5 Lakhs
Small-cap funds carry higher risk but can deliver substantial long-term growth.
The current allocation of Rs. 5 Lakhs is slightly concentrated in this high-risk segment.
HDFC Hybrid Equity Fund: Rs. 2 Lakhs
Hybrid equity funds offer a balanced mix of equity and debt.
They are suited for investors with a moderate risk profile seeking stability.
This allocation provides a cushion against market volatility.
Axis Bluechip Fund: Rs. 4 Lakhs
Bluechip funds focus on financially strong, large-cap companies.
They ensure consistent returns with relatively low risk.
Your allocation here complements the large-cap SIP strategy.
Suggestions for Portfolio Rebalancing
Retain SIPs in Large-Cap, Multicap, and Midcap Funds:
The existing SIPs in these funds are well-placed for diversification and growth. No changes are required.

Do Not Redeem Lump Sum Funds to Invest in SIPs:
Redeeming funds like DSP Small Cap or HDFC Hybrid Equity to reinvest in current SIP funds may reduce portfolio diversity.

Avoid Fixed Deposits for Redeemed Amounts:
Fixed deposits offer low returns and do not beat inflation over the long term. They are not ideal for growth-oriented investors.

Recommendations for Lump Sum Funds
DSP Small Cap Fund

Retain this allocation if you have a high-risk appetite and a horizon of 8–10 years.
Monitor the fund’s performance annually to ensure consistency.
HDFC Hybrid Equity Fund

Retain this allocation for moderate risk coverage.
This fund adds a balanced approach to your portfolio.
Axis Bluechip Fund

Retain this allocation as it aligns with your large-cap SIP strategy.
It ensures stability during market corrections.
Additional Recommendations
Diversify Further:
Add an international mutual fund to gain exposure to global markets. This reduces dependency on the Indian economy.

Review Portfolio Annually:
Assess the performance of funds regularly with the help of a Certified Financial Planner. Replace consistently underperforming funds.

Tax Efficiency:
Mutual fund taxation is critical for your returns. Keep track of long-term capital gains (LTCG) and short-term capital gains (STCG) rules:

LTCG above Rs. 1.25 lakh is taxed at 12.5%.
STCG is taxed at 20%.
Key Takeaways
Your SIPs are well-aligned with diversified categories. Continue them without changes.
Avoid putting lump sum amounts in fixed deposits, as mutual funds offer better inflation-beating returns.
Maintain current lump sum investments, as they contribute to portfolio diversification.
Consider including international mutual funds for broader exposure.
Monitor and rebalance your portfolio with expert guidance annually.
Finally

Your portfolio reflects a solid foundation for long-term wealth creation. By maintaining diversification and monitoring fund performance, you can achieve your financial goals effectively.

Career
My child will be appearing for NEET UG 2025 for the fourth time. Each time his performance has been abysmal, which, I know, is going to be repeated this year too. We have already asked him to move ahead but he is adamant on appearing in NEET which is beyond his calibre. He doesn't have any idea what to do next, has never thought of a Plan B,C or D. Kindly guide as to how plan a career ahead for him. Is there any sort of psychoanalysis to know what is the right study option for him and where to get it done. I can't afford crores of rupees in pvt. medical colleges/abroad .I can take professional assisstance . Kindly give me contact number/ email ID. Thanks.
Ans: Hi Sir,

Don't worry. First, it's important to counsel him.

The health sector is a promising field, which is why I believe your son is so determined to appear for the NEET exam, even though this will be his fourth attempt. It’s natural for him to feel a bit worried. I think he needs to reflect on why he hasn't been able to succeed so far. It's crucial for him to analyze where the problems lie. For example, if he's struggling with chemistry, he should focus more on that subject, as well as the others he finds challenging.

He has a lot of homework to do, including taking mock tests and learning effective strategies rather than just simple ideas.

I have one question: Has he enrolled in any study or coaching center for NEET preparation? If so, it would be beneficial to discuss ways to improve his performance.
If he has prepared himself, kindly approach the best coaching center near your area. For more information about us, you can contact the admin.

Poocho. Life Change Karo!
