Hi Experts,
I am 34 and doing SIP (5k each) in Quant Multi Asset, ICICI Equity & Debt Aggressive hybrid, ICICI small cap, Axis bluechip and Tata Resources& Energy MF for sometime now. Is this diversified enough, or needs change?
Ans: Your current SIP portfolio seems like a decent start, but it could benefit from some adjustments for better diversification:
Current Mix:
You likely have exposure to:
Large-cap stocks (through Axis Bluechip)
Mid-cap and small-cap stocks (through ICICI Small Cap)
Debt (through ICICI Equity & Debt Aggressive Hybrid)
A specific sector (Resources & Energy)
Areas for Improvement:
Sector Concentration: A sector fund like Resources & Energy carries higher risk compared to broader market funds. Consider if this aligns with your overall risk tolerance. You might want to replace it with a diversified equity fund to spread risk across different sectors.
Debt Allocation: The role of the aggressive hybrid fund is unclear. If it has a high equity allocation, you might have too much equity exposure overall. Consider a pure debt fund for a clearer asset allocation.
General Recommendations for Diversification:
Large, Mid & Small Cap Exposure: Having a mix of large, mid, and small-cap funds provides exposure to companies of different sizes and growth potential.
Multi-Asset Fund: A multi-asset fund can offer diversification across asset classes like equity, debt, and even international exposure. Consider one if you don't already have it.
Remember:
Risk Tolerance: Ensure your overall asset allocation aligns with your risk tolerance.
Review Regularly: Review your portfolio periodically and adjust based on market conditions and your evolving goals.
Professional Advice: Consulting a registered financial advisor can provide personalized guidance based on your specific circumstances.
By considering these points, you can refine your SIP strategy for a more balanced and potentially more resilient portfolio.
