Hi, Your existing MF portfolio has 3 mid-cap and one small-cap funds. You may check overlap among these and may drop one.two funds if overlap % is high (say above 40%). Kindly read : https://www.relakhs.com/mutual-fund-portfolio-overlap-comparison-tools/ As a replacement, you may include one Balanced fund along with an ELSS fund (for tax saving purposes).  Kindly read : https://www.relakhs.com/best-elss-funds-2017-2018/ Do you have adequate life insurance cover and health insurance cover? Suggest to use the calculators available in the below articles and you may revert to me with your analysis ; https://www.relakhs.com/retirement-planning-calculator-3-easy-steps/ https://www.relakhs.com/calculate-kids-education-goal-amount/
