I need your valuable advice for my MF portfolio.

Currently I have below SIPs since 3-4 years.

• Kotak Flexicap Fund - Rs 2,000
• HDFC Midcap opportunities fund Gr - Rs 3,000
• DSP Tax Saver Fund - Rs 3,000

I would like to start SIP of Rs 7,000 more for long term, so total I will have SIPs of Rs 15,000 every month.

Can you please suggest in which MF type (small cap/flexi cap or any other) I should invest for more diversification and return along with SIP amount?

Also should I make any changes in existing SIPs?

Ans: You may add an index fund and an MNC fund.

• HDFC Index Fund - Sensex Plan - Regular Plan - Growth 
• UTI MNC Fund - Growth Plan

Ans: Congratulations on starting your investment journey! It's great that you're already investing in Parag Parikh Flexi Cap, which is a good fund for your age and risk profile.

Here are a few other mutual funds that you might want to consider only if you have a long-term investment horizon only 7-10 Years:

ICIC Prudential Nifty 50 Index Fund - This is an index fund that tracks the performance of the Nifty 50 Index, which is a benchmark index of the top 50 companies in India. Index funds are a good way to get broad exposure to the stock market at a low cost.

Kotak Equity Hybrid Fund - This fund is a good option for investors who want a well-diversified portfolio. It invests in a mix of equity and debt securities, across different market capitalizations.
These are just a few suggestions, and there are many other good mutual funds available. It's important to do your own research and choose funds that are right for your individual needs and investment goals.

Ans: congratulations on taking steps towards building a solid investment portfolio.

It's great to see that you're already investing in mutual funds via SIP and thinking about long-term goals.
