Do you need to invest in all these funds?
You need not invest in all these funds. You can pick-up 1 fund from this category and invest them through SIP for medium to long term.
Should you invest in these funds if you have already invested in largecap and midcap funds?
If you have already invested separately in largecap mutual funds and midcap mutual funds, you can still consider 1 fund from this category. See what happened recently with Axis Mutual Fund Scam. In another incident SEBI fined PGIM AMC about inter-scheme transfers during credit crisis. Don’t depend on single fund.

Hi Suresh Sir,
Please review below portfolio. Investment is for medium to long term and aggressive risk taker approach with SIP of 5000 in each fund per month. If need to reduce the number of funds please suggest which funds can be eliminated and which new funds can be added instead to have proper diversification and inflation beating returns.
1. UTI nifty next 50 index fund
2. UTI nifty 50 index fund
3. Motilal Oswal Nifty midcap 150 index fund
4. Parag Parikh flexi cap fund
5. PGIM India midcap fund
6. Quant small cap fund
Good Funds. Add 1 global fund too (e.g. Motilal Oswal S&P 500 fund or NASDAQ 100 Fund)
Currently SIP in global funds S&P and Nasadaq is restricted. Please suggest any other option.
These are already open now. You can recheck.
I have verified on Kuvera and it’s still restricted for investment. Please suggest
I think only some funds are allowing fresh subscriptions e.g. Parag Parikh flexicap cap fund (which also invest in foreign assets). You need to wait then
Currently Mirae blue chip fund is having limitation of 2500 INR SIP but anyone can register multiple SIP for different dates of specific month. By these way anyone can increase their allocation in this fund. Is it good strategy to address 2.5k per month limit cap?
Onetime investment good for the mentioned funds??
Roji, Since Nifty50 is at 16K now, you can invest lumpsum too. However, in long run, do only SIP unless you are investing when markets are correcting
Dear Sir
Once Invested in N50 an NN50 index Funds , is it necessary to invest in active funds since the active funds follow the index and Exp Ratio also high and not beating the index all the year. That way how it is useful to invest in multiple active funds which overlaps 100%…
Hello Veera, Index investing gives stable returns as stock market always goes up in long term. However, the returns would be 10% to 12%. Active funds on other hand can beat index. Hence if you think you want to beat index too, add active funds. Yes there would be overlap and thats okay. No one is going to give negative marks for that. However, consider 1 active fund each in these categories
