Hi Sreekanth, My wife has rs 75k surplus, we want it to be conservatively invested in MFs.
  1. Do you find this plan good? Invest total 75k in ABSL short term fund Dir G now and start an STP of rs 5k from this fund to ABSL 95 balanced fund ...
Request you to pls let me know if this looks good OR if you suggest any better idea. Thanks, PC

Hi, Hi, STP from a liquid fund to balanced fund can be considered. But, watch out for tax implications, as STPs are treated as normal redemption. If you track the equity markets closely then you may just invest this amount in 2 to 4 installments in the next 3 to 6 months in an equity oriented balanced fund. You may consider HDFC balanced fund instead of Birla fund, if ok.   Related articles : https://www.relakhs.com/best-mutual-fund-scheme-risk-ratios/ https://www.relakhs.com/sip-systematic-investment-plan/

Dear Raman, Next time when you are posting a query, suggest you to kindly submit it as NEW QUESTION by clicking on ASK QUESTION menu tab. All the listed funds are good ones. If you are investing for long-term, you may opt for either of the large cap ones and divert the SIP amount to one more diversified equity fund or a mid-cap fund. Ex : Birla Equity fund  or  HDFC Mid-cap opp fund etc., Related articles : https://www.relakhs.com/mutual-fund-portfolio-overlap-comparison-tools/ https://www.relakhs.com/best-mutual-fund-scheme-risk-ratios/
