Can I Give Interest-Free Loan to My Friend As HUF?

Ans: You are investing in a diverse set of funds across multiple categories. It is important to check if your portfolio is well-balanced, tax-efficient, and aligned with your risk appetite.

Fund Overlap and Diversification
You have too many funds in the same category.

Multiple large-cap, multi-cap, and index funds create unnecessary duplication.

A smaller, well-chosen portfolio will improve returns and reduce complexity.

Index Funds in Your Portfolio
You are investing in four index funds.

Index funds lack downside protection in market crashes.

Actively managed funds have better potential to beat the market.

Consider reducing index fund exposure to improve returns.

Sector and Thematic Funds
You have a technology sector fund.

Sector funds can be high-risk, as they depend on one industry’s performance.

A diversified portfolio is better than relying on a single sector.

If held, sector funds should be less than 10% of the total portfolio.

Multi-Asset and Hybrid Funds
Multi-asset funds help in balancing risk with exposure to equity, debt, and gold.

You have three multi-asset funds, which may be too many.

It is better to consolidate and hold only one or two of the best-performing funds.

Retirement Fund and Balanced Advantage Fund
SBI Retirement Aggressive Fund is designed for long-term wealth creation.

HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund helps in managing market volatility.

These funds are suitable for investors above 50, as they lower risk.

Recommended Changes
Reduce fund duplication by keeping only one multi-asset fund.

Exit some index funds and switch to actively managed funds.

Limit sector funds to a small portion of your portfolio.

Continue investing in flexi-cap and balanced advantage funds for long-term stability.

Final Insights
Your portfolio has good diversification but can be simplified.

Reducing overlapping funds will improve returns and ease tracking.

Shifting from index funds to actively managed funds may provide better growth.

Holding for 10 years is a good strategy, but regular rebalancing is needed.

Ans: The following options are available for higher education:

1. MSc in Microbiology

5. MSc in Medical Lab Technology (MLT)

Before choosing any course, it's important to keep in mind that meeting eligibility requirements is just the first step. I suggest he pursue internships in industries that align with his future goals. Here are some tailored suggestions based on his interests:

Interest in the Food Industry: He should consider internships in food processing industries or at the Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI).

Interest in Pharmaceuticals: He can look for opportunities in pharmaceutical companies that specialize in microbiology, such as Biocon or Biological E.

Interest in Entrepreneurship: MLT could be a suitable path. I recommend that he seek part-time positions in clinical laboratories. Additionally, the current central government is supporting young entrepreneurs who are interested in starting their own businesses.

He may also want to consider pursuing additional courses to enhance his future prospects.

Wishing all the best for your son!

POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO

Ans: IISER is a better known college and is good for research and pure science. But let him check what area is he interested in and then decide.

Ans: Try Dubai. Maybe Saudi Arabia. They do have high paying jobs. Dubai has a decent Banking Industry and can get a stable job out there. Saudi Arabia is trying to build its industry so a bit risky.

Ans: Thank you for choosing a career in medicine. You can opt for various paths, but it is essential to follow the guidelines provided by the government.

Ans: Dear Tanvir,
Pichli baatein ko wahin rakhna chahiye jahaan pe woh hue the. Usko aaj ke tareek mein baar baar doharaane se aapa aaj bigad sakta hai aur aapke mann mein shanka badhti hi jaayegi. Jab aapki fiancee keh rahi hain ki yeh pehli baat hai, ya toh aap is baat par vishwaas kare ya na kare, yeh aap pe nirbhar hai. Agar aap shaq karna chahte hain toh bahut baatein hai is baat ko saabit karne ke liye par agar aap is baat ko bhi peeche rakhke aage badhna chahte hain toh yeh bhi ho sakta hai par uske liye aap ko aapki fiancee par vishwaas karna padega aur unki baaton par. Shaq ki nazron se kuch bhi dekhoge toh shaq hi saamne nikalke aayega. Ab aap ka chunenge?

All the best!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
If all is well medically, then the only thing that can stop a couple from getting sexually intimate are fears of what intercourse really is. Focusing on sex especially since this is the first time for the both of you CAN put you under tremendous stress. Instead focus on connecting first with each other. Emotional bonding through love, care and affection can allow for a lot of non-sexual intimacy first. Keep at this until you get comfortable with one another and then you take things to the next level that will ease you both into sexual intimacy.
Being in LOVE and a very close emotional connect can actually be huge boosters into getting intimate and ease you two into sex.

All the best!

Ans: Dear Sanjay,
What would you do if something like this happened in your house? Suggest the same to your friend.
But also, before accusing or doubting someone, please make sure that your friend has not misplaced the money.

All the best!
