Hi, Your portfolio looks fine. Only thing you can have re-look at is - you have two Large cap oriented funds ie SBI & Birla funds. So, kindly check the overlap between these funds. Read: MF portfolio overlap analysis tools. Considering the fact that you have very long-term view, you may allocate higher percentage of your investible surplus to ICICI & Franklin funds for the next few years.

Hi, Both of you kindly buy a Term plan (independent policies) for atleast Rs 75 Lakh each. Consider buying a stand-alone Personal accident policies too. You may start investing in Equity oriented funds for your Kids' Education & marriage goals. Below articles have calculators which you may download and calculate approx required savings to accumulate certain goal amounts. Also, kindly read this article (don't miss this one) : List of articles on the key aspects of Personal Financial Planning.

Hi, 1 - If your one of your investment objective is tax saving along with long-term wealth accumulation, consider investing in a SIP (Systematic Investment plan) of ELSS fund. Kindly plan your taxes from the beginning of a Financial year itself.  2- An Exit Load is the fee charged by Mutual Funds if an investor wishes to withdraw his investment in Mutual Fund within a specified period from that fund. Most of the Equity funds will not have Exit load if you redeem after 12 months. 3 - As suggested in my previous comment, kindly use the calculators. For your long-term goals, invest as much as possible and as frequently as possible in Equity funds. Especially in Diversified Equity funds and/or Mid/Small cap funds.
