I am 46 years old and plan to invest 65,000 PM in sip for my daughters' education, marriage, and my retirement. For her education, I need 45 lakhs (current cost) in 8 years, and for her marriage, I need 40 lakhs (current cost) in 12 years. I need 2 crores in 12 years for my retirement. My profile is that of a moderately aggressive risk-taker. I currently have 45 lakhs in my mutual fund portfolio. The current mutual fund portfolio is a mix of midcap, flexicap, and small cap funds. I am currently doing a SIP of 20000 in Canara Robeco Emerging Equities-Direct-Growth, a Rs 5000 sip in DSP Small Cap Fund-Direct-Growth, a Rs 5000 SIP in Invesco India Infrastructure Fund-Direct Plan Growth, and a sip of 10000 in Kotak Emerging Equity Fund-Direct Plan-Growth. I have employee insurance and additional term insurance on my own. I have employee medical insurance and top up family medical insurance of Rs 5 lakh on my own. I have paid off my home loans. I want to increase my current sip of Rs 40000 to 65000 pm. Please suggest if my financial goals are achievable. Plese suggest SIP mutual funds to meet my goals for my daughter's education, marriage, and retirement. Can I maintain one portfolio to achieve all the goals or different portfolio with different funds for each goal with different Mutal funds in each portfolio?
Ans: It's inspiring to see your commitment to securing your family's future! With a moderately aggressive risk appetite, aligning your SIPs with your financial goals is crucial. To ensure success, consider diversifying your SIPs across equity mutual funds targeting different goals. For your daughter's education and marriage, opt for funds with a higher equity allocation for growth potential. For your retirement, balance risk with diversified funds focusing on wealth preservation. Regularly review your portfolio's performance and make adjustments as needed. Remember, financial planning is a journey, and with prudent decisions and disciplined investing, achieving your goals is indeed achievable.
