Hi Sir, Are these unrealized gains? May I know the reason for investing in so many schemes? What are you investment objective(s) and time-frame?      
barima answered 9 years ago
Hi Mr. Reddy, Yes they are Unrealized Gains. Reason for investing in these schemes is Diversification. Investment objective is Wealth Accumulation. Time Frame is 7 to 10 Years. Regards Mohammed

Hi Sir, Too many funds that too within same fund category may not be really beneficial. You may request your Advisor to trim down your portfolio a bit. Kindly read : https://www.relakhs.com/mutual-fund-portfolio-overlap-comparison-tools/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-mutual-fund-scheme-risk-ratios/ https://www.relakhs.com/mutual-fund-categories-market-capitalization-large-cap-vs-mid-cap-vs-small-cap-funds/

Hi Sir, (Below is my reply to your PVT query..) I somehow getting a feeling that your banker/RM is mis-leading / mis-guiding you. (I may be wrong) How are they going to transfer your assets by suggesting an ULIP under MWP Act? Kindly read : https://www.relakhs.com/maintenance-welfare-senior-citizens-act/   Yes, writing a WILL is a better option. Suggest you to get this done through online WILL drafting service providers or any trusted civil lawyer. Kindly read : https://www.relakhs.com/nominee-legal-heir-will-importance/ https://www.relakhs.com/last-will-testament-benefits/ https://www.relakhs.com/write-will-sample-will-india-draft-will/ https://www.relakhs.com/now-draft-will-online-e-will/

Dear Sir, I am glad to know that my suggestions have been helpful and useful to you! As discussed earlier, your age is not a criteria here, as you are planning to create a corpus/wealth for your legal heirs. Yes, your plan of setting up STPs from liquid funds to equity funds sounds good to me. You may consider investing in 2 to 4 funds, may be 1 each from Diversified fund, Balanced fund and Mid cap fund categories. If you want to build a moderate risk portfolio, you may allocate higher STP amount to Balanced fund. Personally, my favorite fund category is balanced fund (not trying to influence your thinking here!). I am strong advocate of balanced funds. I do not provide suggestions on Direct equity.  Suggested readings : https://www.relakhs.com/best-mutual-fund-scheme-risk-ratios/ https://www.relakhs.com/mutual-fund-portfolio-overlap-comparison-tools/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-mutual-fund-schemes-2017/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-balanced-mutual-fund-schemes-review/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-debt-mutual-funds-india-top-debt-funds/

Hi, Given a choice and considering your profile, I would include an equity oriented balanced fund in place of TATA PE fund and Franklin Smaller companies fund instead of Birla Mdi/Small cap fund.

Thank you very much sir for your quick response and advice. I will highlight your recommendations to my wealth advisor. Your support is very much appreciated.

Dear Sir, These are my suggestions and not recommendations. Your advisor may be equally talented, may be more talented than me (considering their experience..). So, you may kindly understand their viewpoint and then based on your requirements you may pick final MF portfolio. All the very best!
