I am planning to start following sip
HDFC nifty 50 index fund -15000

Should I invest more than above specified in funds . Please comment on selection of mutual fund and amount and changes in fund and amount to achieve goal.
Thankyou in anticipation.
Ans: Hi Murgendra, thank you for writing in.
I notice you are currently investing around 70% of your funds in index funds, HDFC Nifty 50 & HDFC Nifty Next 50. With this, your portfolio returns will mostly mirror index returns.
You can consider investing Rs.10,000 in HDFC Nifty 50 Index Fund and Rs.10,000 in HDFC Nifty Next 50 Index Fund & invest the balance Rs.10,000 as follows:
1-SBI Magnum Midcap Fund-Growth Rs.5,000
2-Franklin India Smaller Companies Fund- Growth Rs.5,000
This will give you more midcap and smallcap exposure that have the potential to outperform the index and help you generate higher returns.
To create a corpus of Rs.50 Lakh in 5 years, you will need to invest around Rs.60,500 per month, that is increase your SIP’s by Rs.17,500. You need not invest in any new schemes, but simply increase the SIP amounts in the same proportion.
Annual step ups of around 10% will help you achieve your goals faster.
