Sir please suggest amount as well as mutual fund for 15 years to generate corpus of 1cr

Ans: To generate a corpus of 1 crore in 15 years, you'll need to invest a significant amount regularly and choose suitable mutual funds with growth potential. Here's a suggested approach:

Determine Investment Amount: Considering your goal of accumulating 1 crore in 15 years, you'll need to calculate the monthly investment required based on expected returns. Assuming an average annual return of around 10%, you'll need to invest approximately 30,000 INR per month.
Select Mutual Funds: Choose a mix of equity mutual funds that offer potential for capital appreciation over the long term. Consider allocating your investments across large-cap, mid-cap, and multicap funds to diversify risk and maximize returns. Look for funds with a consistent track record of performance, experienced fund managers, and a robust investment strategy.
Allocate Funds: Divide your monthly investment amount of 30,000 INR among different mutual funds based on your risk tolerance and investment goals. For example, you could allocate 40-50% to large-cap funds, 30-40% to mid-cap funds, and 10-20% to multicap funds.
Regular Monitoring: Regularly review the performance of your mutual funds and make adjustments as needed based on changes in market conditions, fund performance, and your financial goals. Stay disciplined and committed to your investment plan to achieve your target corpus of 1 crore in 15 years.
Consult a Financial Advisor: Consider seeking advice from a Certified Financial Planner who can provide personalized recommendations based on your financial situation, risk profile, and investment objectives. They can help you create a customized investment plan and guide you towards achieving your long-term financial goals.
By following these steps and staying disciplined with your investments, you can work towards building a substantial corpus of 1 crore over the next 15 years. Remember, consistency, patience, and informed decision-making are key to successful long-term wealth creation.

I want a corpus of 1 cr in the next 5-6 year. How much monthly amount and where shall I invest for the goal?
Ans: You want to build a corpus of Rs. 1 crore.
Your time horizon is 5-6 years.
This is a medium-term goal with a big target.

Required Monthly Investment

To reach Rs. 1 crore, you need to invest a lot.
Exact amount depends on the returns you get.
Roughly, you might need to invest Rs. 1-1.5 lakh monthly.

Investment Options

For 5-6 year goal, use a mix of equity and debt.
Equity for growth, debt for stability.
Balance between risk and returns is important.

Equity Mutual Funds

Put about 50-60% in equity mutual funds.
Choose a mix of large-cap and multi-cap funds.
These can give good returns over 5-6 years.

Debt Mutual Funds

Invest 30-40% in debt mutual funds.
Consider corporate bond funds and banking & PSU funds.
These provide stability to your portfolio.

Hybrid Funds

Put 10-20% in balanced advantage or aggressive hybrid funds.
These funds adjust equity-debt mix based on market.
They can give steady returns with lower risk.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)

Use SIP method for investing in mutual funds.
This helps in rupee cost averaging.
It also makes large investments more manageable.

Regular Monitoring

Check your investments every 3-6 months.
See if you're on track to reach your goal.
Make changes if some funds are not performing well.

Increase Investments Yearly

Try to increase your investment amount every year.
Even a 10% yearly increase can make a big difference.
This helps beat inflation and reach your goal faster.

Risk Management

As you get closer to 6 years, reduce equity exposure.
Move more money to debt funds in last 1-2 years.
This protects your gains as you near your goal.

Finally

Rs. 1 crore in 5-6 years is a big goal.
It needs disciplined and aggressive investing.
Consider talking to a Certified Financial Planner for personalized advice.

Hi, age 40 years, monthly net salary Rs 85k, married , 1 kid. Recently have constructed new house. Ground floor commercial shops, and 1st floor residential 2bhk flat were we stay. Home loan 1.05 cr with monthly EMI of 85k for next 30 years & All current savings exhausted due to new construction. Commercial shops have potential for monthly rental income of 60k to 70k.please guide on below for strategy: 1) how to close home loan in next 10 years 2) considering 60 as retirement age, need corpus of 8 cr to fund kid education, marriage and for rest of livelihood.
Ans: Hello;

1. Immediately let out the commercial shops on long lease with yearly rent hikes. This is crucial to fund your loan EMI.

Assuming this to yield rental income of 70 K per month.

You will still need to shell out 15 K for the EMI amount from your income.

2. So after deducting EMI cut from your monthly pay we are left with
70 K.
Earmarking 30 K for your regular expenses, I suggest you start a monthly SIP of 40 K in a pure equity mutual fund with yearly top-up of 11% minimum.

This may grow into a corpus of 1.47 Cr after 10 years part of which you may utilise to settle off the overdue loan amount.

3. The balance corpus left after settling the loan is expected to be around 54 L. At this stage you will need enhance monthly sip to 1.5 L with 13 % yearly top-up for the next 10 years.

4. The corpus from SIP after the next 10 years may be 6.3 Cr. The balance corpus of 54 L may grow into a sum of 1.83 Cr. Both added will give you a comprehensive corpus of 8.13 Cr, as desired. ( A modest return of 13% from pure equity mutual funds is considered).

Happy Investing!!

Sir the median package at ssnce for cse core is less than rvce ise .So does it make more viable option considering placement in mind .I have a dream of becoming software engineer from my childhood. But my seniors are advising for rvce ise.what to do should I follow my dream or placement.I am a Bangalore resident and Tamil is my mother tongue.
Ans: Ashwin, my son, graduated from RVCE in 2023 and secured employment through campus placement with a reputable software company. Despite being among the highest achievers in COMEDK, he opted for ECE instead of the more accessible CSE. We did not compel him to join CSE. Following his second year, he progressively shown an interest in software and obtained several certifications through NPTEL, Internshala, and similar platforms. Regarding his experience, while ISE is commendable, CSE is the superior option. Simply enter 'RV placement statistics 2024'. Select the initial result to get the Placement Statistics of RV directly. The top placements are for Computer Science Engineering, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering, and then Information Science Engineering. The recommendations of your seniors, your personal interests, and the branch with the highest placement statistics are distinct considerations. Kindly review the Course Curriculum for both CSE and ISE and make a decision. Kindly review one of my detailed responses below, in which I have explicitly outlined the stages, recommendations, and methods that a first-year engineering student should adhere to till their fourth year for campus placement. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
