Ans: Assessment of Current Mutual Fund Portfolio

Your wife's investment portfolio comprises a diversified range of mutual funds across different categories, including large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, and sector-specific funds. This diversification reflects a balanced approach towards wealth accumulation and risk management.

Evaluation of Investment Horizon and Retirement Goal

With a retirement target of 1st September 2047, your wife has approximately 23 years to accumulate a sufficient corpus to support her post-retirement lifestyle. It's crucial to assess the adequacy of her current investment strategy in achieving this long-term goal.

Calculation of Corpus Accumulation

To estimate the potential corpus your wife can accumulate in 20 years based on her current investment of Rs. 27,500 per month, we need to consider factors such as the expected rate of return and the impact of inflation.

Assessment of Portfolio Diversification

While your wife's portfolio exhibits diversification across various mutual fund categories, it's essential to review the allocation periodically and ensure alignment with her financial goals and risk tolerance. Diversification helps mitigate concentration risk and enhances the overall stability of the portfolio.

Recommendations for Portfolio Optimization

Goal-based Investing: Segment your wife's investments based on specific financial goals, such as children's education and retirement planning. This approach ensures a tailored investment strategy for each objective, maximizing the probability of success.

Review and Rebalance: Periodically review your wife's portfolio to assess its performance and rebalance if necessary. Rebalancing involves adjusting the asset allocation to maintain the desired risk-return profile, especially during market fluctuations.

Professional Guidance: As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), I recommend consulting with a qualified financial advisor to fine-tune your wife's investment strategy based on her individual circumstances and goals. A professional advisor can provide personalized recommendations and ongoing monitoring to optimize portfolio performance.

Conclusion

In conclusion, your wife's mutual fund portfolio demonstrates a diversified approach towards wealth creation and long-term financial security. By implementing goal-based investing, regularly reviewing and rebalancing the portfolio, and seeking professional guidance, you can enhance the likelihood of achieving your financial objectives, including children's education and retirement planning.

My NPS monthly 14018/ month deduction. How much corpus can i accumulate in 13yrs of investment with this portfolio's?
Ans: Your portfolio appears to be heavily concentrated in mid-cap and small-cap funds, indicating a high-risk, aggressive approach. Here are some suggestions for consideration:

Diversification: While high-risk investments can offer potential for higher returns, it's crucial to diversify across different asset classes and fund categories to mitigate risk. Consider adding large-cap or multi-cap funds to balance your portfolio.

Review and Rebalance: Regularly review the performance of your funds and rebalance your portfolio if necessary. If any fund underperforms consistently or doesn't align with your investment strategy, consider replacing it with a better-performing alternative.

Risk Management: Understand the risk associated with mid-cap and small-cap funds and ensure that your overall portfolio risk is balanced according to your risk tolerance and investment horizon.

Long-Term Perspective: Stay committed to your investment plan and maintain a long-term perspective. Over a 13-year horizon, equity investments have the potential to deliver significant returns, but there may be periods of market volatility that require patience and discipline.

Regular Contributions: Continue with your SIP contributions regularly, and consider increasing your investment amount over time as your income grows or allocate additional funds towards your investment portfolio.

Seek Professional Advice: If you're uncertain about your investment strategy or need personalized guidance, consider consulting with a financial advisor who can provide tailored recommendations based on your financial situation and goals.

Regarding the potential corpus accumulation in 13 years, it's challenging to provide an exact figure due to the unpredictable nature of the market. However, with a disciplined approach and assuming reasonable market growth, your portfolio has the potential to accumulate a significant corpus over the long term. Regularly monitor your investments and make adjustments as needed to stay on track towards your financial goals.

Can you please suggest on capital gains as per Indian taxation laws arising in the below two queries : 1) property purchased with joint ownership, me and my wife’s name in 2015 at a cost of 64,80,000, housing improvements done for the cost of 1000000 and brokerages of 200000 paid and sold the same property at 10000000 in Dec 2023? 2) 87% of the proceeds got from the deal i.e 8700000, have been reinvested to pay 25% amount in purchasing another joint ownership property in Dec 2023, 3) I have invested in another under construction property in Nov 2023 by taking housing loan, which is on me and my wife’s name worth 1.4 cr, here the primary applicant is me only while wife is just made a Co applicant in the builder buyer agreement and also on the housing loan . So what are the LTCG tax liabilities arising from the above 3 scenarios for FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025. I intend to sale off the property acquired in (2) by Dec 2024 and use that proceeds to close the housing loan for the property acquired in (3), will this sale of property be inviting any tax liabilities if the complete proceeds received from the sale of the property in (2) would be utilised to close the housing loan taken in Nov 2023 for the property in (3) ? Since in FY 23-24, I would be claiming the LTCG from the sale proceeds of 1) invested in the purchase of property in 2), and I intend to sale off this property in Dec 2024, will the LTCG claim be forfeited on the property sale in (1), should I hold this property at least for further 1 year so that sale of this property in 2) will not invite STCG?
Ans: (A). Let's first talk about F/Y 2023-24 :
You jointly sold a Property during the year for Rs.76.80 lakhs (64.80+10.00+2.00), & sold the same for Rs.100.00 lakhs.
You have jointly also purchased Property No.3 (I suppose it is Residential only), for Rs.140.00 lakhs.
You should avail exemption u/s-54 & file your ITR accordingly. Please disclose all details about sale & purchase in your ITR.
02. Now coming to the F/Y 2024-25 :
You intend to Sell Property No.2, which was acquired in 2023-24. Any Gain on Sale of it would be Short Term capital Gains & taxed accordingly.
Alternatively, you may hold this sale of property no.2 (for 2 years from its purchase) & avoid STCG
You are free to utilize the sale proceeds in a way you like, including paying off your housing Loan.
Please note to avail exemption u/s 54 only from investment in property no.3 & not 2.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
