    1. good to hear about you. Here are few comments 1) Pls review your insurance requirement. You may need to take 10-12 years of your annual income or 15 years of your annual expenditure minimum. The funds what you are investing are high risk + focused fund which is also high risk. You need to balance your portfolio with largecap and multicap funds too. Pls invest in some of these category of funds which I have recommended in this article. To invest in mutual funds you may directly visit mutual fund website and invest it or open a mutual fund account with 3rd party broker like icicidirect or fundsindia etc.,

  3. Dear Suresh,

    Thanks for the blog and sharing your knowledge.

    1. SBI BlueChip Fund-Reg(G) – 7000 (monthly)
    2. Mirae Asset India Equity Fund-Reg(G) – 10000 (monthly)

    2. As I have mentioned above, my previous mutual funds investments with “Resident” status is stopped but I have not redeemed it
    since I am not in a need of money for now. Is it okay to keep it until not required or should I redeem it and re-invest in my new MF portfolio with “NRI” status?

    I shall be grateful for your prompt suggestions/response.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kumar!
