Hi Ulhas, Good day. This is Rajesh N I am planning to start SIP's (55K per month) in the following Mutual funds for a horizon of 5-7 years to create 1 corpus. Could you please review and suggest if they look fine or need any changes/alternate funds. I am fine to take higher risks. Thanks a lot. Have a Good Day. Canara Robeco Small Cap 4000 Nippon India Small Cap 4000 Quant Small Cap 4000 HDFC Small Cap 4000 HDFC Flexi Cap 5000 Quant Flexi Cap 5000 Parag Parikh Flexi Cap 5000 HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund 6000 ICICI Prudential Balanced Advantage Fund 6000 Motilal Oswal Midcap fund 6000 HDFC Retirements Savings Fund 6000

Ans: Hello Rajesh, thank you for writing to me. To create a corpus of Rs.1 Crore over 7 years, you need to invest around Rs.78,000 per month. Annual step ups of 10% or more will help you create a larger corpus.

On scheme selection, you can consider consolidating similar category schemes and investing in only 2 schemes in a particular category.

Ans: Hello Rajesh, it's great to hear about your plan to start investing in mutual funds through SIPs. I would say that your choice of mutual funds looks diversified and suitable for your investment horizon of 5-7 years.

Since you mentioned that you are willing to take higher risks, your choice of small-cap funds such as Canara Robeco Small Cap, Nippon India Small Cap, Quant Small Cap, and mid-cap fund like Motilal Oswal Midcap fund, is appropriate as they have the potential to generate higher returns in the long run.

In addition, you have also selected some flexi-cap funds such as HDFC Flexi Cap, Quant Flexi Cap, and Parag Parikh Flexi Cap, which can help you to diversify your portfolio and provide flexibility to invest across market capitalizations.

Moreover, your choice of balanced advantage funds such as HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund and ICICI Prudential Balanced Advantage Fund, which invest in a combination of equity and debt, can help to manage market volatility and generate stable returns.

Lastly, your choice of HDFC Retirement Savings Fund is a good option for long-term retirement planning.

Overall, I believe that your choice of mutual funds is well-diversified, and suitable for your investment horizon and risk appetite. However, it's always important to review your portfolio periodically and make necessary changes based on market conditions and your financial goals.

Ans: Hi Rajesh and thanks for writing to me. I assume that your goal is create a corpus of Rs.1 Crore. If your investments grow at around 12% XIRR, then you need to invest around Rs.76,000 every month to achieve your goal.

While most of the funds are pure equity funds, you can consider not investing in thematic funds like Infrastructure Fund or Technology funds and instead increase your allocation to flexi cap funds.

Similarly, you can also consider not investing in a balanced advantage fund and rather invest the sum in equity funds.

Note that these suggestions are made considering that you are fine with high risks associated with equity. If you share your risk profile, I may recommend some other funds.

My age is 25 years and my boyfriend age is 29 years. I have boyfriend and we are dating for around 2 years, we are thinking about marriage. My family members love him and his family members love me. But the situation is like this that, my elder sister is getting divorce so it will take time atleast 4 years. But we can't wait for 4 years because my boyfriend is from gujarat. So in Gujarat, families dont wait for long but in my case my boyfriend and his family members waited for 2 years. Because my family members are saying when my elder sister will get married then after my marriage will come. and my family members are brain washing me and my boyfriend saying that first elder sister should get married if it takes times 6 years still u have to wait. My family members are pressurizing me alot. Infact I discuss and my boyfriend discuss with my family members about the situation but my family is not understanding and they are just pressurizing me alot and making my life hell. Even my elder sister is saying to me that my colleagues are not getting married why u have to get married soon. But my point is that I m not kid I m 25 years old and because of her I m suffering alot because if she cant get married I cant get married this wrong. And because of taht me and boyfriend are arguing alot in this. Like If i waited for my elder sister divorce plus her marriage it will take around 4 years. But I dont think so this is right because of my elder sister I m facing issues and thats wrong. Because i dont know whether after divorce she will get married or not. So because of her I m suffering alot. And the divorce procedure will take 4 - 6 years. Because we dont know that how much time will it take for my elder sisters divorce because she is not doing normal one she has cased a file against jiju so thats why it huge procedure. So that's why we think that we will do court marriage in next month. We both have a support from his family members. His family members are saying that do court marriage without knowing any ones relatives and once your family agrees within this year then its fine but if not then you come here next year and we will do marriage for both of you. So this is right?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You need to make a decision for yourself after looking at all the pros and cons. How are you going to be able to handle your parents once you make the decision to go ahead with the marriage?
Also, on your part, you are right in asking, how long do you need to wait?
Before making a decision, always think far ahead as to how your environment will react and how you are going to handle all of it.

All the best!

Hi Mam, My parents are not agreeing for the marriage with my boyfriend cause it's an interfaith relation. I tried convincing them but they keep on saying foul words to me, saying that they would kill themselves if I don't leave him. I had seen my family from childhood and I don't want to be in a similar situation as they are, my mother had a relationship with someone else after marriage, my sister is not the biological child of my father, I am aware of all those but I haven't blamed them for that cause I felt if that's what is making them happy let them be, I haven't even confronted them. Now they say all the good stuff that me and your father were very great to each other you should learn those things and all. I am struck in a situation now. I have a job and my boyfriend also has one, could you please suggest.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Judging your parents and their choices is not going to anyway help you in your context. So, why even go there?
Instead focus on your situation and how you can make things happen for yourself.
- Are you financially independent and will you be able to manage the discomfort that will emerge once you choose to be on your own?
- Will your boyfriend support your decision and will he stand by you when you go against your family?
- What does his side of the family have to say about all of this?
If you notice the questions above, none of them are set to 'convince' your family. It is almost impossible to convince someone who does not want to be convinced. These questions will give you an idea and enable to handle your situation by stepping up for yourself.

All the best!
