Q: 41-year-old Pavan MR writes to us from Karnataka. I have multiple funds in which I invest. Investing Rs 5,000 per month in UTI Mid Cap Fund, DSP Microchip Fund, Mirae Asset Emerging Blue Chip Fund, Franklin India Prima Plus Fund, SBI Magnum Tax Gain, ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund Value and Franklin India High Growth Companies Fund Focused. My target is Rs 1.5 crore at 60 years. Also, Rs 20,000 per month in ICICI Pru Elite Life Super, which is a ULIP. Please evaluate my portfolio.
A: Your goal is to create a portfolio of Rs 1.5 crore in 19 years. Our Kuvera goal planner suggests a monthly SIP of Rs 20,000 assuming you start from zero today. You are investing Rs 5,000 each in seven funds and Rs 20,000 in ULIP. So, investment amount wise you are doing better than what is required, and you should continue to do so.
Also, a couple of points we would add. Add a debt component to dampen some of the volatility around your portfolio. Even if it is 10-15 percent, it will help. You have at least four funds, which have mid-cap exposure and you should think about correlation and overlap in these funds. We advise you to have only one fund in each sub-category to keep your portfolio clean and easily manageable. An option would be to have one midcap and one large cap fund. Lastly, our advice is to keep insurance and investing separately. Have a term life insurance as a pure insurance cover.
