Hi, How long you would like to receive this periodic income? Are you totally dependent on the income generated by this corpus? Are you new to mutual fund investments?

Hi, Based on your reply, I believe that investing entire corpus in mutual funds can be a risky bet. You may consider options like ; Bank FD, Company FD, Post office MIS, GoI 8% Bonds etc These will give you guaranteed fixed income on monthly basis. (Company FDs do have some risk associated with them). Regarding mutual funds, you may consider setting up SWP (Systematic withdrawal plan) for a fixed amount for a fixed period. You may consider fund categories like MIP Conservative fund, Balanced funds etc., Kindly go through below articles : https://www.relakhs.com/list-of-best-investment-options-schemes-in-india/ https://www.relakhs.com/lump-sum-investment-options-retirees/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-company-fixed-deposits-fd-schemes/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-monthly-income-plans-india-mutual-funds/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-balanced-mutual-fund-schemes-review/

Hi,

Request you to post your queries in new ‘Forum thread’ (new question) from next time!

Individually all the listed funds are good ones. However, you have four Mid-cap funds. Suggest you to check their portfolios overlap. In case, the overlap among these funds is say more than 40 to 50%, you may consider trimming down your portfolio a bit. Higher allocation to mid-cap funds is fine, as your investment time-frame is very long-term.

Dear Mr. Shreekanth,

I am sorry for your inconvenience . I really wanted to put separate question but could not get the option. I have checked and find the method now. In future I will take care.
Thanks for your reply and links for such a useful tool and article.
I checked and found min 05% (Birla Pure value and Sundaram Select mid cap) to maximum 18% (Birla Pure value and mirae asset emerging bluechip) as well as 09%, 14%, 15% and 16% overlap among four mid cap funds.
So in this scenario what is your kind advice?
My fund selection of 04 mid cap, 01 large cap and 01 multi cap for span of 20-25 years is OK?? Please advice. I will welcome your comments.
I really appreciate your effort and time you spare for me.

Regards

Hi,

Kindly note that the Funds’ portfolios change over a period of time.
The key point to note here is, to maintain a minimalist portfolio. Easy to track and convenient. But, there is no right or wrong approach. Given a choice, I will pick 1-2 mid-cap funds with same allocation as for four funds (%).

Dear Mr. Shreekanth,

Thank you. I got it. You mean to say I should invest in 1-2 mid cap funds. But there is no wrong or right approach.

Best Regards
