Hi, If you are investing full Rs 1.5 Lakh in Sukanya a/c, u/s 80c you can claim this tax deduction. So, investing in an ELSS fund can be avoided. All the listed Equity funds are good ones. May I know if your asset allocation of 70:30 is it for long-term? For additional investments, for a 3 year time-frame, you may invest in your existing debt funds itself. For ex : Franklin low duration fund.   Related articles : https://www.relakhs.com/best-mutual-fund-scheme-risk-ratios/ https://www.relakhs.com/mutual-fund-portfolio-overlap-comparison-tools/ https://www.relakhs.com/200-day-moving-average-dma-mutual-funds/ https://www.relakhs.com/debt-funds-types-benefits-risk-vs-return/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-arbitrage-funds-returns/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-monthly-income-plans-india-mutual-funds/

Hi Sreekanth, Thanks for your reply. Yes, Asset allocation of 70:30 is for long-term (15 Years).
SSY seems political motivated and I am not sure about their constant interest rates in future. So on safer side I intentionally investing in ELSS. I assume my portfolio looks crowded and some unnecessary funds should be omitted.

I am planning to keep 2 in Large Cap and 1 each in Mid, Small, Balanced, ELSS & Diversified Fund or you please advice which fund should I omit to keep balanced portfolio. For Additional monthly Investment(Lumpsum) I will go with short term gilt or ultra short term debt fund. Can you please advice for funds here?

Hi, Kindly note that the interest rates of SSY are now market-linked. Even if there is a change in the govt, the existing account holders will still get the market linked rate of interest.. Nevertheless, elss is a one of the best tax saving long term product. You may kindly go through the suggested article on 'Portfolio overlap' and trim down your portfolio if overlap between two funds is say more than 50% or so. For example : You have two large cap, two mid/small cap funds, ELSS can also be considered as a multi-cap fund - so check the overlap among these funds and can trim down your portfolio a bit. Also, refer to my article on 'how to select the right schemes based on risk ratios.' But, individually all the mentioned equity funds are good ones. Do you have any specific goal for short term? (for investing in Gilt/ultra short term debt funds)
