Mutual funds can perform better in medium to long term. This mutual fund scheme is small cap fund and is very high risk. Smallcap or midcap segment can outperform in long term and may or may not perform well in short to medium term.
Don’t carry away with such high SIP returns of this fund.
If you are a high risk investor and want to invest for a medium to long term, you can invest in such funds. You need to have patience in case such mutual funds underperform in short to medium term. You should invest in a diversified portfolio of mutual funds consisting of large cap midcap and smallcap funds so that underperformance of one segment should not affect your portfolio.

You have too many funds, reduce them to 5-7 (if you can). e.g. you don’t need focused fund or too many midcap funds or small cap funds. You can consider portfolio like this (as an example)
1) CR Smallcap fund
2) Invesco Infra fund
3) PGIM Midcap fund
4) Parag Parikh flexicap
5) Tata digital fund
6) ICICI Bluechip fund
and tax saving one (if planning for tax savings)
I am investing in Mutual funds from past 7 to 8 months with 12500.
UTI index fund 4000
Paras parig flexi cap 3000
Axis long term equity Elss 2000
Canara robecco blue chip fund 3500
Are these funds okay or should I remove/add funds?
Are the allocations fine? Should I increase or decrease ?
Are the stocks overlapping?
Please help
All these funds are good. If you are looking for tax saving, axis long term equity fund is okay, else exit and invest in equity fund
I invest in Mutual funds through SIP worth Rs 20000 per month
Canara robecco emerging equity
Canara robecco focused equity
Canara robecco equity hybrid
Sbi small cap
5000 each
Kindly suggest me if I have to do any changes or these funds are okay
Emergin, hybrid fund and smallcap funds are fine. You can avoid focused equity funds and invest in largecap or index fund
Hi
What category of mutual fund I as beginner for investing should invest in.
A beginner might not have even thought of goals and do not know their risk appetite, can start with largecap mutual funds to invest.
I have invested in more than 25 to 30 funds since several years. Will you please guide me I will furnish full details to your mail/address. What are to be continued or redeemed. I shall be ever grateful to you.
Sure. You can email me suresh@myinvestmentideas.com
Thanks for sharing.
I have following monthly SIPs. Do you recommend any changes?
PPFCF 45%
Axis Blue Chip 20%
SBI Small Cap 20%
Motilal Oswal Nasdaq 100 FOF 15% (especially this one as there are foreign investment regulations)
Dev, Good funds. You have largecap fund, flexicap fund, smallcap fund and international fund. If possible, you can add one midcap fund too.
Thanks to your posts that I could choose these funds.
I will have to go for ELSS fund also this year.
So, I might not be comfortable adding one more fund. Still, I will research on midcap funds and then will decide.
Thank you so much!
