Hi,
May I know if you have adequate life insurance cover? Do you have health cover for self+kid?
What is the investment horizon for your 'House purchase'? What are the schemes earmarked for this goal?

Hi, thanks for responding,
I have pure term insurance of RS. 65 lac (RS. 25 lac by self and RS. 40 lac by employer). I want to increase my part but postponing it due to some medical reasons.
I have health insurance from star health- family floater of RS. 5 lac, Rs.5 lac HDFC ergo for self .
These are other than Rs. 4 lac provided by employer.
Investment horizon for house is 5-6 years from now. Though I know it would be towards repayment only as my husband n me will surely go for bank loans.
I haven’t earmarked any specific scheme for this goal. As I told earlier I m in this area for last three years only and never reviewed portfolio earlier
But seeing market I am worried!!!
Hi,
Kindly try to take adequate life cover. Sometimes, an insurer may charge loading on premium and can give you the required cover.
House Purchase :
I am assuming, you mean it is 'down-payment'.
The volatility in equity markets is an expected one. The returns are not guaranteed and plz be ready to see negative returns in your portfolio. But, do stay invested for long-term.
If your investment horizon is around 5 years, suggest you to stick to Hybrid Equity Funds for the next 3 to 4 years.
Ex : HDFC Hybrid Equity Fund
