Question by Shom on Jun 25, 2024Hindi

Money

Thank you Sir for such an in depth analysis of my MF portfolio. The insight provided by you in your reply will really help me in planning my future investment strategy. Sir, you’ve advised and guided me to breakdown my planned investment of 20K per month in Large, Medium Small and Multi Cap funds. I will surely invest according to the breakdown provided by you. However Sir, it’ll be of great help if you can suggest some good funds in these categories. Thanks a lot again Sir for your kind help!!

Ans: Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad my insights were helpful for your investment strategy. While suggesting specific schemes in an online forum isn't ideal, I highly recommend consulting a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) for personalized advice. A CFP can assess your unique financial situation and goals to suggest the best funds in large, medium, small, and multi-cap categories. This tailored approach ensures you make informed decisions that align with your investment objectives.

Best Regards,

K. Ramalingam, MBA, CFP,

Kindly suggest if i would be able to achieve the goals in next 10 years,and changes if required any Regards Manoj

Ans: Hello Manoj,

It's great to see that you've been disciplined with your investments and have built a sizable corpus already. To assess if your current investments will help you achieve your goals of 8 crores in the next 10 years, let's take a closer look at your financial situation and goals.

Current Investments:
Mutual Funds: ~30.5 lakhs
Direct stocks: 30k
LIC policies and term insurance: Not considered for investment purposes
Bank FDs: 27 lakhs
PPF: 3 lakhs
Total: ~60.5 lakhs
Monthly SIP investments: ~45k
Now let's analyze your goals:

Children's marriage and education: 2 crores
Buying a home: 2 crores
Retirement life (in 10 years): 4 crores
Total: 8 crores
Assuming an average annual return of 12% on your equity investments, here's a rough projection of your portfolio's growth:

Current investments (60.5 lakhs) in 10 years: ~1.87 crores
Monthly SIPs (45k) in 10 years: ~1.05 crores
Total: ~2.92 crores
Based on this calculation, you would not reach your goal of 8 crores in the next 10 years. However, you can consider making some changes to improve your chances:

Reassess your goals: Consider if your goals are realistic and if there's any flexibility in the amounts or timelines.
Increase your SIP investments: As your salary increases, try to increase your SIP investments to accelerate your portfolio's growth.
Rebalance your portfolio: Regularly review your portfolio to ensure it's aligned with your risk appetite and financial goals. This may involve reducing the number of funds or shifting the allocation between equity and debt.
Monitor fund performance: Keep an eye on the performance of your funds and consider replacing underperforming ones.
Remember that financial planning is an ongoing process, and it's essential to periodically review and adjust your strategy. It's also a good idea to consult with a professional financial advisor to get personalized advice for your specific situation. While it might be challenging to achieve 8 crores within 10 years, these suggestions may help you get closer to your goals.

Best regards,

Asked by Anonymous - Jun 28, 2024Hindi

Money

Sir I'm 25 years old and I want my dream car Mercedes cost 75 lakshs in 10 years my monthly salary is 2 lakhs

Ans: While I can try to give some 'gyan' about a luxury car being a depreciating asset and why you should instead focus on saving for buying real appreciating assets or investments, I will not do that here and instead, just try to answer your question mathematically. ;-)

A car that costs Rs 75 lakh today, will cost much higher due to inflation after 10 years. Assuming 6% average inflation over the next 10 years, the cost of the car you mentioned will increase to Rs 1.34 crore. To reach this corpus target, if you invest in an equity-oriented portfolio that generates about 11%, then you need to start investing Rs 46-47,000 monthly starting today and also increase this monthly investment by at least 7% each year (with your salary hikes).

With the current monthly take-home of Rs 2 lakh, this shouldn't be a problem with you.

That said, I would once again mention the fact that right now you are young and hence, you have this cool goal. My guess is that as years pass, you will understand the reason why spending too much on a depreciating asset like a car isn't advisable. :-)

We don't have information about your risk appetite. But assuming that it is at least moderately aggressive, then, you can start investing in a combination of largecap index funds, flexicap/large&midcap funds, midcap funds, etc.

Sir, can't understand about Josaa rounds. Previous round closed with 13250 rank means next round should be open with 13250 above rank but some branches shows,next round open rank with 11000+ . What about this sir? If you can please explain.

Ans: Shakthi, your question itself has the answer. Some streams would have been closed at 1st round itself, especially CSE, ECE, Mechanical etc., depending upon the Institute / College. If the seats of any other stream(s) NOT fully filled yet, the next round Opening Rank will be different, again this depends upon the Institute / College. Hope you have understood.
