Hi, Thank you for following my blog posts :) 1 - Suggest you to check for any high portfolio overlap among your funds (especially the large-cap oriented & multi-cap ones). Read: http://www.relakhs.com/mutual-fund-portfolio-overlap-comparison-tools/ http://www.relakhs.com/best-mutual-fund-scheme-risk-ratios/ 2 - As your investment horizon is 20 years, you may allocate more monies to Small cap funds for the next 5 years or so. 3 - You can invest in Direct plans of your existing funds with the same Folio numbers through MF Utility platform.

Thank u shreekanth sir for ur advice. But I  hold this investment in regular. And make new portfolio . Or  switch the funds but tell me  which fund is replace so no chance for overlapping.

As suggested in my previous answer, kindly read the article related to OVERLAP and if overlap is say >40% then you may drop few funds and trim your portfolio a bit. Long term horizon funds are fine. For short term ie around 3 years, you may switch to Balanced fund and reduce allocation to Small cap fund (DSP).

As suggested, you can switch to the direct schemes. But it will be treated as Redemption and applicable taxes (if any) are levied. Kindly note that you can invest (new investment) with the same folio number but you can choose DIRECT option. You can invest in Direct plans through MF utility online platform. Read : http://www.relakhs.com/mfutility-invest-direct-plans-mutual-fund-schemes-online/ The percentage of allocation is dependent on your expected rate of return from your portfolio, goal amount and time-frame. Kindly use the overlap tools and analyze the % of overlap among your funds and you may revert to me; http://www.relakhs.com/mutual-fund-portfolio-overlap-comparison-tools/

Hi, So, advisable to retain either of the two Large-cap funds and you may pick one balanced fund (if you do not have). Ex - HDFC Balanced fund. Read: http://www.relakhs.com/retirement-planning-calculator-3-easy-steps/
