Hi Priya, Considering your financial profile, investment objectives & time-frame, you may replace Franklin Prima plus with ICICI Pru Value Discovery Fund. The portfolio overlap between Franklin prima plus and ICICI Focused bluechip is around 42%, though the overlap % is not on a higher side but let's pick a fund which can be more beneficial and can fit in to your portfolio well. If you do not want two funds from the same AMC, you can consider Birla Sunlife Frontline Equity fund. May I know the reason for shortlisting HDFC Childrens Gift Fund? Kindly go through below articles; All about Children s' Gift Funds MF Portfolio overlap analysis tools

Dear Priya, Instead of UTI mid-cap fund, you may consider Franklin Smaller Companies Fund (considering you have a long-term goal).. ICICI Pru Value Discovery Fund Birla Frontline Equity HDFC Mid-cap opp Fund Franklin Smaller Companies Fund. Kindly note that I do not provide suggestions on Direct Equities (Stocks). May I know the investment horizon for lump sum investment? Any specific investment objective?
