Ans: Hello Dipak. In response to your concern, I would like to first address one of your SIPs of HDFC top 100 fund growth that can be changed to mid-cap funds. This is because it may not perform as per market in the long run.

According to past performance, you may expect a corpus of Rs 20-25 Lakh based on 14% CAGR.

Ans: 22 lakh can grow up to 70 to 80 lakh in 10 years.

A SIP of Rs. 26 k can create a corpus of Rs. 70 lakh in 10 years

Therefore, total corpus that can get created is Rs. 1.4 to Rs. 1.5 cr

Ans: Hello Sandeep. It seems you have already well diversified your portfolio. You may reconsider Axis and Mirae AMcC for your portfolio. For your mutual fund investment, you may achieve a corpus of 1 cr approx for 12 years horizon.

Ans: Captain Kukreja, your commitment to investing is commendable! Estimating the corpus after 10-12 years requires considering various factors like market performance, fund performance, and consistency of investments. However, with your diversified portfolio and regular investments, you're on the right track towards building a substantial corpus.

To get a more accurate estimate, consider the historical performance of your selected funds, the expected rate of return, and the compounding effect over time. Additionally, review your investment strategy periodically and make adjustments as needed to stay aligned with your financial goals.

Consulting with a Certified Financial Planner can provide personalized projections based on your investment portfolio and risk tolerance. They can help optimize your investment strategy to maximize returns and achieve your long-term financial objectives. Keep up the disciplined investing, and your efforts will likely yield significant results over time.

Ans: It's great to see your proactive approach towards investing and building wealth for your future. Your commitment to mutual funds, PPF, stocks, and ULIPs reflects a well-diversified investment portfolio.

Understanding Your Current Investments

Your investment portfolio comprising mutual funds, PPF, stocks, and ULIPs showcases a balanced mix of asset classes, indicating a thoughtful approach towards wealth creation.

Evaluating Mutual Fund Investment

By investing ?10,000 per month in mutual funds till the age of 55, you're adopting a disciplined savings approach that can potentially yield substantial returns over the long term.

Analyzing Expected Corpus

To estimate the corpus you may accumulate by the age of 55 through your monthly mutual fund investments, we need to consider several factors:

Investment Duration: With approximately 21 years left until you turn 55, your monthly investments have a considerable time horizon to grow.

Rate of Return: The expected rate of return on your mutual fund investments plays a crucial role in determining the final corpus. While past performance is not indicative of future results, historical data can provide insights into potential returns.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP): Investing through SIPs allows you to benefit from the power of compounding by regularly investing fixed amounts over time.

Estimating Future Corpus

To provide an estimate of the corpus you may accumulate by the age of 55, we can use a conservative annual return assumption for your mutual fund investments.

Considering historical market performance and assuming a moderate annual return rate, we can project the growth of your monthly investments over the next 21 years. By compounding your investments annually, we can calculate the future value of your mutual fund portfolio.

Benefits of Actively Managed Funds

Actively managed mutual funds offer several benefits over passive index funds or ETFs:

Professional Management: Skilled fund managers actively monitor market trends and adjust portfolio allocations to capitalize on growth opportunities, potentially leading to higher returns.

Risk Management: Actively managed funds employ strategies to mitigate risks and optimize returns, providing investors with a balanced risk-return profile.

Final Words

While it's essential to have a long-term investment horizon and a disciplined savings approach, it's equally crucial to regularly review and adjust your investment strategy as per changing market conditions and personal financial goals.
