Hi Sreekanth, I go through most of your articles, your style is crisp and simple for my requirement. Please keep up this style. I want to invest between 5 to 10 lakhs Now, for retirement purposes.  I am a homemaker and my husband is 55 yrs old.  I know you are not a great fan of NPS (no we do not have to compulsorily invest in NPS).  Secondly, you do say do not make a lump sum investment in one go. Though I am not complaining, market is not calming down, the days it does, i am unable to catch it. As my horizon is 1 to 3 yrs can I just go ahead and enter in L&T Prudence (1 Lakh), BSL Balanced '95 Fund (1 Lakh).  I already hold HDFC Balanced. Also will I be better served to enter into MIPs in Growth option say BSL MIP II Wealth 25, ICICI Pru MIP25 or HDFC MIP Long term.

Hi, Thank you for following my blog posts! If one has a long investment horizon, it does make sense and is ok to have a mix of SIPs + lump sum (additional) investments as an ideal investment strategy. Kindly read : https://www.relakhs.com/sip-systematic-investment-plan/ As your investment time-frame is around 1 to 3 years, advisable not to consider equity oriented balanced funds. It makes sense to consider MIP Funds instead.
