    1. David, investing in mutual funds for short term of 3 years may not be good idea. If you still want to invest, you can go for debt mutual funds and not equity funds

  29. Hello Sir,

    I am investing in mutual funds from past 2 years, however not having much knowledge of these industry.

     I want a corpus of 1 CR to meet my long term goals.

    My investment time horizon is 8 to 10 years. Below are the details of investment.

    HDFC equity fund Direct Plan Growth – 2000

    HDFC Balanced fund Regular Plan Growth – 1500

    Franklin India smaller companies fund Direct Plan Growth – 1500

    Birla sunlife frontline equity fund Direct Plan Growth – 2000

    Franklin India Prima Plus Direct Plan Growth – 2000

    Birla Sun Life MIP II -Wealth 25 Plan – 1 lac ( Onetime in lumpsum from July 2016)

    And last month I have added below funds via SIP in my portfolio.

    Reliance Small cap fund growth Direct Plan – 3000

    Mirae emerging bluechip fund growth Direct Plan – 2000

    Now it is said that small and mid cap sectors are touching new highs and it  is very expensive to invest in this sector. 

    Further I was thinking to add Principal Emerging bluechip fund growth Direct Plan via SIP for Rs 2000, and seek your advise on the same.

    It is also said that one should not invest in too many funds, therefore request you to please review my portfolio and let me know whetther it is fine or I should quit some funds from portfolio if yes then which are the funds from above list and which fund I should add?

    Many thanks in advance for your valuable advise on the my above queries

    Dear Sir,

    My Name Is Vishal N Suratwala & I Am 37 Years Old. I Have Already Invest Monthly Rs. 5000/- Each In Above Mutual Funds For 5 To 10 Years Horizon So Pls Suggest Me Are They Best Option Or Other Plans Are Also Available Better Then Above Funds.

    I Invest My Lumpsum Amt. 1 Lac Each In Icici Pru Balance, ABSL Bal. 95, Hdfc Prudence, L&T Prudence Regular Plan Growth & Reliance Growth Fund, So Pls Suggest If I have To Change Above Funds & Go For Better Options.

    1. Vishal, You are investing too much into midcap and smallcap which is very high risk. My advice is you should invest some of the amounts in diversified or large cap funds too. Exit ABSL midcap and small cap funds. remaining funds are good, but try to reduce to 3-4 funds

      1. Thank You Sir For Your Kind Reply, I Believe Every Man Have To Invest 10 % Of His Income For Future Planning & As Per My Age I Am Able To Take Risk So I Choose Major Stake Small & Midcap In My Portfolio As per High Risk = High Return. But I Don't Know About Market Ups & Down So Pls Suggest Me Better Funds To Add In My Portfolio.

        Pls Also Suggest Me ABSL Small & Midcap Fund Return Is Better Then Other Funds In My Portfolio In Same Category So Should I Switch Other Funds & Pls Tell Me What Criteria In Percentage Will Manage By Me In My Portfolio.

  32. HI Vikas Vikram & my age is 55 years hence cannot take much risk by investing in stocks Want to invest some around Rs. 3 lakhs, what should be the best mode of investment for me. If your answer is mutual funds then which MF.

  35. Dear Sir,

    I want to invest money in SIP Plans. My limit of investing is 5000 / Months. So shall i go for the Single SIP Plans of Rs 5000 or go for the 5 Different SIP of 1000 / Months.

    If 1000 / Months. is better option then suggest  5 Different SIP Plans which are performing countinuously & having better return.

  53. Hello sir, i m new in SIP or Mutual fund. I dont know anything. pls suggest investment planing to me for my daughter . Details are below –

    My age -32 years
    daughter age – 1 year
    investment capactity – 2000pm

    1. Don’t worry Hrushikesh, This blog is built for all investors who either do not know anything or knows every thing. Step-1, pls approach icicidirect or fundsindia and open a mutual fund account Step-2, consider investing in 2 mutual funds (e.g. icici focussed blue chip fund or Birla SL Frontline equity fund or Quantum Long Term Equity Fund) and start SIP of Rs 1,000 each every month.ย 

  54. Hello. I would like to know which plan is best currently for the long term (15 years) wealth creation? Which SIP plan is best to invest presently. My investment would be 6000 per month for minimum 15 years.

  55. Hi Suresh,

    I am planning to invest 2k for 5 years and 1k for 3 yrs , please suggest  on which mutual fund is good.

    1. Hi Sandya, investing in mutual funds for 3 or 5 years may not be useful. If you still wish to proceed, invest in a balanced mutual fund like ICICI Balanced fund or HDFC balanced fund

      1. Sorry suresh I meant for SIP .. so planning to invest 2k Per month so which SIP is Gud n for wat duration it’s good? M new to all this ..

        1. Hi Sandhya, Yes, I meant SIP investment of 3 ot 5 years could be risky. You should invest atleast 8-10 years to get good returns. If you still wish you invest, consider balanced funds

    1. Both are good funds. However SBI Blue chip is large cap fund and axis long term equity fund is tax saving funds where it would have 3 years lock-in period.

  56. i want to start a sip and my plan is to invest rs 5000 per month so kindly suggest some good and low risk funds

  57. i want to invest in mutual fund and my age is 20 i am self employed and want to invest 5000 in sip for 20 years i want to know which fund will be good to invest and what approx return i can expext after 20 years

    ICICI Prudential Focused Bluechip Equity Fund – Growth – 1000

    Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity Fund -Growth-Regular Plan – 2000

    ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund – Growth – 1000

  60. Hi Suresh,

    Need your sugession on my investment:

    Goal : Retirement after 22 years

    Corpus required : 1.5 Cr.  (Assuming wealth of 1.15 Cr. would be created by PF. Currently employee + employer contribution is = 16000 per month) so the shortage is = 35 lac.

    SIP of : Rs. 3500 per month started to create corpus of 35 lac.

    Fund  is : MIRAE ASSET EMERGING BLUECHIP FUND – DIRECT PLAN – GROWTH (started 2 months ago)

    Is this ok, or let me know your sugessions.

    Thanks in advance.

     

     

     

     

    1. Don’t invest in just one fund. Invest in 2-3 funds like Birla SL Frontline and one in smaller segment like Franklin India Smaller cos fund. You can achieve your goal.

  61. Hi Suresh

     I am a regular reader of your blogs and really appreciate your guidance provided on different investment options. I have following query:

    I am investing in Mutual Fund with 10K Per Month and goal is to maximize my Investment for Future. Also doing Lump sum investment into same schemes.

    HDFC Top 200 Fund-Growth – 1000

    HDFC Mid Cap Opportunities Fund- Growth -> 2000

    ICICI Balanced fund-DP-Growth -> 2000

    ICICI LTEF (Tax Saving)-DP-Growth -> 2000

    BSL Frontline Equity Fund -Growth -> 1500

    SBI Blue Chip Fund Plan-Growth -> 2000

    Franklin India Prima Fund ->1500

     

    I have below Questions:-

    -Planning to invest 1Lakh in above mentioned schemes (25K per scheme). Is it fine?

    -Planning to double my SIP’s from 10 to 20K per month.

    Thanks in Advance !!

    1. You have invested in good funds. You can invest lumpsum, however wait for some correction. You can go ahead and double your SIP. But do it in large cap funds like Birla SL Frontline equity fund, SBI Bluechip fund, Franklin India Prima fund etc.,

  62. Hi Suresh,

    As per your suggestion, I have invested in below MF.

    ICICI Pru Top 100 Fund

  70. sir,

    My age is 37 .i want to invest in mutual fund @ rs. 5000 p.m. please suggest me how i can earn maximum benefits.

I would also like to know if in future days can i increase the amount of my investment? What is the Liquidity(how easily my investment is accessible to me) of the investment that i will be doing ? Can i apply for multiple funds?

    1. First is you should be willing to invest in such funds for long term. In case of any emergency you can always sell and get money in 3 working days. However based on markets, the NAV would be applicable. You may or may not get good returns if you invest for short term and sell them

  72. Dear sir

  76. Hi.. i want to invest 1000INR / Month for Long terms ( Minimum 15 Years). Please suggest the best SIP plan for me.

  77. Dear sir
    now my age is 30 years old I want to invest 1000 Rs.

    1. Good to know that you want to plan well in advance. If you invest Rs 1,000 per month for 25 years i.e. 300 months, at 12% annualised returns you can get Rs 19 Lakhs. If you can increase it every year by 15% for next 25 years, at 12% annualised returns you can get Rs 75 Lakhs. e.g. first year you invest Rs 1,000 per month and second year you can invest Rs 1,150. Since you cannot invest in Rs fraction amounts, you can increase this every Rs 500 year on year but increase over 15%

  78. Hi, When you say fund name, is it growth or dividend fund name? for example, I can see two funds with same name:

  170. I I am working in private sector, i want to invest approx 1 lac lumshup per year,SIP,

    Please suggest best investing plan.mutual fund/…………..with good return.

  171. Hi my age is 30 yrs and I want to invest in SIP. Which are the good ones… Can i invest in SBI mutual fund (sip) or icici prudential mf (sip)

  172. Hi sir,

    Thanks for sharing this info to build good portfolio, I’m really liking this article and shared with some of my friends.

    I’m not able to order Mirae asset blue chip fund, using icici direct and Sharekhan… Any reason??

  173. I am planing to take SBI Life – Smart Scholar ULIP plan for my son (6 months old).I am planing to pay 1lakh per year for 5 years.
    I am expecting maturity amount of around 22lakh after 18 years (for education).In this plan I have to select one of the below fund. Which fund I should select ? Everybody is selecting Bond Fund I don't know why ?
    a)Equity Fund
    b)Top 300 Fund
    c)Equity Optimiser Fund
    d)Growth Fund
    e)Balanced Fund
    f)Bond Fund
    g)Money market Fund

    Is it a good plan ? or Should I go with a SIP or any mutual fund plan to achieve my goal?

     

    1. There should be STRONG reason for you to go for ULIP plan. Are you okay if you get 5% to 8% returns? If not, choose a good term plan and invest your hard earned money into mutual funds through SIP. If you do not want to invest in MF, invest them in recurring deposit which can fetch you 7% returns.ย

  188. I want to stop sip in UTI MNC fund and planning to invest in ICICI valiu discovery fund.

    Pl give openion about it

    1. UTI MNC Fund invests in MNC companies. These have provided good returns all along. However, I indicated 2 years back that such funds can downturn and suggested to invest in some other funds. ICICI Value discovery fund is midcap/small cap category fund, however there are better funds like DSP Micro cap fund, Franklin India smaller cos fund etc.,

  189. i have just started investing.my age is 25. currently my portfoli is

    1. Rs 1000 sip in dsp black rock micro cap fund

    2. Rs 1000 sip in invesco india contra fund.

    pls suggest me is it a good portfolio. i am also thinking  to start a Rs 1000 sip in kotak select focus.

    also suggest me to invest lumpsum amount of Rs 30000 for 3 yrs

  190. Hi Suresh,

    Need a suggestion on the mutal fund i have invested on Axis equity long term fund for Rs.2000 as SIP. Im new to mutal fund, is this paln fine or should i go for any other plans

  191. Hi I am new to mutual funds, and have invested in axis long term equity plan for fixed 3 years, Please suggest is this good plan, i have just started this month.

  192. sir, 

    My investment portfolio is as below

    1-ICICI VALUE DISCOVERY FUND(R) GROWTH AMT-2500/PM

    2-ICICI FOCUS BLUE CHIP(R) GROWTH AMT-2500/PM.

    My plan for investment is for 20Years…plz suggest me.

    1. 1) ICICI Pru Focussed blue chip is one of the best mutual fund to invest. 2) ICICI Value discovery fund is good, however there are better funds in midcap/small cap category. You can consider investing in the funds recommended by me if you are okay to replace this fund.

  193. I, Shashi has started two plan 1-ICICI FOCUS BLUE CHIP & 2-ICICI VALUE DISCOVERY FUND, both regular growth equity plan, each amounting 2500/pm since last two year and will continue for 20 years..my investment is only for long term..plz suggest me, whether my option is right or not.

  194. Dear Sir,

    I don't have any knowledge of Mutual fund. I m 40 years old , and i want to invest Rs.20000 per month in Mutual Fund for 10 years.

    I m having business , and no liability right now. 

    Please suggest the right fund , i m ready for 50% risk and 50% safe investment…

    1. Hi Nilesh, You can invest Rs 10,000 in large cap funds indicated in this article. Balance 50% invest in balanced funds. Balanced funds are relatively safer compared to equity funds though risk is not eliminated.

  195. I want to buy  mid  cap small cap dsp br  micro fund  …but which exactly is  buy not describe. Here . Regular or growth or direct plan

    In above ur statement which is plan describe  regular growth ditrect ..its canfuse me

    1. Hi Vijay, If you want regular income, try for dividned option. Generally for wealth creation you can invest in growth option. Also if you can do your own KYC, you can invest in direct plan. If you are going thru some broker, just invest in regular option.

  196. I think in 2016-2017, Banking and Infrastructure sector will perform better. Anyone may go for SIP route in various mutual fund banking and infrastructure sector at least for 3 years horizon. I think in 2019, market will go up tremendously and create a “NEW RECORD”.

    Best of luck

  197. Dear Sureshji,
    As I am new and am planning to invest and my portfolio is

    1)Reliance small cap fund growth
    2)DSP Black rock micro cap fund growth
    3)SBI Blue chip

    Kindly suggest me for suitable/good funds for 3 years from now.

    Regards
    Gokul

      1. But the for MFs the maximum return shwing is 3rd year. As per the above tables in after 5 yeras the return is less. So I am confused which one is better for MF.  Please help

        Regards,

        Ajay

  198. Dear Suresh,

    My Name is Suresh, I am a new to Mutual funds, i am 37 years old, i can manage savings upto Rs.35000/- a month. Please suggest me how can I invest my savings in Mutual Funds. I am planning to retire at the age of 50 or max 52 years.

    Regards
    Suresh

    1. Hi Suresh, good to know about you. Out of your total savings, you can keep some money in your Bank FD for any emergency money. Balance you can start investing in the combination of the portfolio I have indicated. Since there is scope for you to continue your investments for 13-15 years, you can choose best mutual funds to invest from this list.

  199. Dear Sureshji,
    As you advised if we invest Rs. 1,000 per month in Birla SL Frontline Equity it will be Rs. 60,000 for 5 years and investment value would be Rs. 97,000 instead if I invest lumsum 5-lakh what??? Please tell me I am asking this for my knowledge as I am under study of your articles as advised by you.

    1. Sayed, When you invest some money thru SIP all market swings are being adjusted. If you invest Rs 5 Lakhs when markets are down, you may get good returns. However defining “markets down” is difficult. Hence you may even loose your capital sometimes. 1) Try SIP option 2) If you wish lumpsum, invest in top debt funds and do STP to equity funds with 10-12 months SIP. This way you would gain from SIP method.

  200. Thinking to switch two funds

    1.From icici pru focused bluechip to SBi bluechip or kotak select focus in Large cap

    2.From Franklin india prima plus to icici pru value discovery in multi cap

    After switching they will top (in terms of reurn % & rank) fund in their respective category .

    Whats ur suggestion .??

  201. Hi

    I am investing for last three years as under

    Birla SL MNC Fund-Growth Rs 5000.00
    HDFC Midcap Opportunity Fund-Growth Rs 6000.00

    Kindly advise about the plans and let me know one or two funds for further investment of Rs 9000.00 per month

    1. Good funds Rajeev, stay invested. You can add large cap funds like Birla SL Frontline equity, ICICI Pru Focussed blue chip fund and ICICI Top 100 mutual fund etc.,

  202. Hi Basu,
    My portfolio is :
    1)HDFC Balanced Fund(G)
    2)HDFC Prudence Fund(G)
    3)ICICI Pru Focused BlueChip Equity Fund(G)
    4)ICICI Pru Value Discovery Fund(G)
    5)Invesco India Mid N Small Cap Fund(G)
    6)Mirae Asset India Opportunities Fund-Reg(G)

    I have invested for last 2 years using SIP option but now paused as market was not good.
    now I want start with investment using SIP, Pls advise which of the existing or new MF I should go for?

    1. You need to make some modifications to your portfolio. All funds are good except for Invesco India mid n small cap fund. Replace this with Franklin India smaller cos fund or HDFC mid-cap opps fund. Add more in large cap during market corrections so that you can gain more. Invest in funds like Birla SL Frontline fund or ICICI pru Top 100 fund etc.,

  203. Dear Suresh,

    From Jan-2016 i started investing in the below funds, please let me know if i need to do any changes for 2017. I am planning to invest this for next two years. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for great contribution for your financial literacy to public.

    In these times, if we want to invest Lump sum amount in Balanced fund as you said, which kind of funds
    to be selected either Equity Balanced -Aggressive or Conservative. Secondly, if we want to go for Debt Balanced, either Debt Balanced – Aggressive or Conservative.

    I am long term investor and I can go for high risk-reward profile for 3 to 5 Years.

    With Best Regards,

    Laxman
    Hyderabad.

    1. Hi Laxman, It is immaterial. You can go for any balanced mutual funds now. Since market are taking huge corrections, you can invest lump sum money in large cap funds or mid-cap funds. you should be willing to invest for 5 years minimum.

  205. I have invested in following funds 1. Franklin high growth company fund growth โ€“ 1000
    2.dsp black Rock equity regular fund (G) โ€“ 1000
    3. Icici prud value discovery fund (G) โ€“ 2000
    I want to invest 3000 more which MF will be good. Time frame is 15 to 20yrs.

    1. DSP BR Equity fund is average performer. There are better funds to invest. You can invest in large cap funds like Birla SL Frointline and ICICI Pru top 100 fund and midcap/smallcap funds like Franklin India smaller cos fund and HDFC Mid-cap Opps fund

  206. Hello,
    I am investing in following funds from last 6 months. I plan to invest them for a long term 10+ years. Please review and suggest any changes.

    1. Some of the funds are not consistent performers like SBI Blue chip fund, L&T India fund, SBI Magnum global fund, SBI magnum balanced fund. You can invest in better funds in respective category.ย 

    1. Hi Kumar, Invest in large cap funds to start with. You can check some of the best performing mutual funds like ICICI focused blue chip fund, ICICI top 100 and Birla SL Frontline equity fund etc.,

  207. Dear Suresh,
    Could you please advise for some Mutual funds for ONE TIME investment.
    Regards,
    Jatinder Singh

    1. Hi Jatinder, For one time MF investmnets, you should invest in debt funds or balanced funds. Since markets are correcting now, best way to invest lumpsum in mutual funds is selecting balanced funds.

  208. I recently started a SIP of 5000 each in Axis Long term equity Growth and Franklin India Tax Shield for retirement.

    Now I want to invest another 5000 in small/mid cap fund for a horizon of 3-5 years. Can you please suggest a fund or 2 for the time frame.

    1. Smallcap / midcap funds are high risk and cannot be invested for short duration of 3-5 years. If you still wish you invest, you can look for DSP BR Microcap fund, Franklin India Smaller cos fund etc.,

    1. Clarification: I started another SIP in HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund for Rs. 7000 from Nov 2016; total investment of Rs. 10000. That is why two entries for it.

  218. Hi. Am investing Rs.2000 per month in Reliance Equity Opportunities Fund (G) for last 5 years ( continue to invest for 20 years). Performing good as of now. when I started this fund crisil rating was 5 star I guess. But now only 2 star. So, like to redeem ( as switch not possible with different fund house ) & new funding of Rs.1000 each to birla SL Frontline Equity and Franklin India smaller cos. Pls let me know about this decision. If am wrong pls do correct me. 

    1. Hi Venkat, This is under performer in last 1 year, however you can hold for some more time before switch. If you wish to proceed, go ahead and invest in the 2 funds indicated by you.ย 

      1. Thx.. started SIP in Franklin india smaller cos growth fund. And wishing to continue Reliance Equity Opportunities Fund for some more time as you said. Thx a lot.

    1. Hi David, You are investing in balanced fund. If you are low to moderate risk taker, you can invest. However, based on your age, i would advice you to invest more in large cap fund and mid-cap funds. If you say you cannot take high risk, atleast invest in large cap funds. Also invest in 5-7 funds by increasing investments every year. This way you can ensure you create good wealth in long term with mutual funds.

      1. Hi Suresh,

        Thanks for your response. Please suggest few funds in large cap and mid-cap to invest. Also suggest whether I can continue with my existing funds or switch to different funds?

    Franklin flexi cap (d)
    Reliance RS Equity (d)
    UTI MNC (G)
    HDFC TOP 200 RP (D)
    UTI OPPOTURNITIES (G)
    DSP BR MICRO CAP (D)
    HDFC MID CAP OPP (D)
    IDFC PREMIER EQUITY (G)
    RELAINCE MID AND SMALL (G)

    Except HDFC Top 200 & Relaince Mid & Small, SIP in progress for other MF’s. Kindly suggest shall I continue or any changes to be made.

          1. Hi Sudha, If you invest Rs 2,000 each in these best performing mutual funds, each scheme can give you approx Rs 4.6 Lakhs to Rs 5.5 Lakhs. In total for you may expect Rs 32.5 to Rs 39.5 Lakhs at the end of 10 years with these 2 mutual fund schemes.

  222. Hi Suresh …I want to build a corpus of 5 cr in 12 years time frame. What will be your advice for investment via SIP and other vehicles? …PKTPrasanta Kumar

    1. Hi Praashant, It depends on your risk appetite. If you are high risk taker, invest in blue chip stocks. If you do not have time to monitor stocks, best way is to invest in mutual funds. Select large cap funds and mid-cap funds if you would like to invest for 12 years.

  223. Hi Suresh,

    I posted my comment on 17th and hope you might have replied but could not see the both.

    Kindly let me know if there is any problem.

  224. Hello Suresh,

    Axis Long term Quity Fund – 1000PM

    BSL MNC Fund – 1000PM

    DSPBR Micro Cap Fund – 1000PM

    Franklin India High Growth Companies – 1000PM

    HDPF Top 200 – 2000PM

    SBI Blue Chip -1000PM

    SBI FMCG – 1000PM

    HDFC Balanced – 1000PM

    TATA Balanced – 500PM

    I recently exited from SBI Pharma fund as the investment didnt appreciate for more than a year. Please suggest if any of the investment needs to be changed keeping in view long term wealth generation.

  225. Dear sir, 

             I want to invest 2000/month. ( 500 rupees for pension fund and 1000 for another fund ,500 for another fund ) pls suggest me high returns fund for long terms.

    Regards

    senthil vel.

    1. Hi Senthil, Many gets confused with pension fund and mutual funds. If you invest in mutual funds for long term of say 10-20 years, it creates good wealth and you can invest in bank FD and get regular income which would be higher than getting any amount from pension funds. My suggestion is you should invest in 2-3 mutual funds like ICICI Pru focussed blue chip fund or Birla SL Frontline equity fund. These can fetch you good returns in long term.

  226. Hi Suresh,

    i have 50000rs. and I want to invest this money in shares or mutual fund. Am a new investor, pls suggest me if i can invest in HDFC balance fund through SIP 2000 per month. I want to purchase my new house and want to use this  money for downpayment.please reply……

    1. Hi Surekha, I would not advice you to invest lumpsum in equity or hybrid mutual funds when markets are at peak. Invest in debt funds. Regd SIP you want to invest to pay down payment, hence go for debt funds only. For equity funds, you should be willing to invest for 8-10 years. You can invest in ICICI pru income opps fund or HDFC Income opps fund in debt funds segment.

  227. Hi Suresh,

    It's very glad to see you have published 2017 funds well in advance before any other blogs.

    I am investing in following MF from last 4 years.Some of my funds are not from your list butkindly go through it and suggest any shifting is required.

    ICICI Foccussed blue chip Rs 2200

    HDFC TOP 200- Rs 2000( Stopped sip since last year)

    HDFC Mid cap oportunity Rs 2000

    SBI Magnum mid cap Rs 2000

    Axis long term Rs 2500 (from 1 year)

    DSP Black rock micro cap Rs 3000 (started from this month).

    Just I want to know my fund selection required any changes. If yes, kindly suggest.

    And also Shall I keep HDFC TOP 200 fund in same or I should switch to any other fund.

    Thanks.

    SUNIL

     

     

  228. Hi Suresh,

  230. Dear Sir,

    I have invested in BOI 1000@ 123 & Infosysis 50@ 1187, Can I hold these stock for long time please advice.

    1. Hi Badarinath, All banking stocks are taking beating due to higher provisions as per RBI mandate. You can hold BOI, however don’t expect high returns. Infosys is good stock, you can hold

  231. Dear Shri Suresh KP

         My 2 son-in-laws has started investing in DSPBR Micro Cap Fund under Direct Plan with Growth option a sum of Rs.2000/= per month under SIP with top-up of Rs.500/= every year from this month.  Please reply me how much amount the will get at the end of 10 years..

    Regards

    A VISWANATHAN

    1. Great to hear that Viswanath. Mutual funds offer high returns, however they are not guaranted. Considering current trend, one can expect between 12% to 15% annualised returns. If your son in laws are investing Rs 2,000 per month and Rs 500 increase every year, the total invested value would be Rs 7.3 Lakhs and investment value @ 12% returns would grow to Rs 12 Lakhs and @ 15% it would grow to Rs 13.75 Lakhs.ย 

  232. Dear Sir,

    Very useful and informative. I have already started investing in Franklin India Smaller Companies Fund, DSPBR MicroCap, Mirae Emergng.Blue Chip and Kotak Select Focus under SIP and lumpsum purchase.

    I am thankful to you for your special efforts for the sake of others. May God bless you.

    I also thank Mr.S.Rajaraman who has forwarded this to me.

    1. Hi Mohit, Invest in large cap funds indicated in this article. These are good for long term of 10-20 years. You can add 20% of your SIP funds in balanced funds category too.

      1. Hi Suresh,

        May you suggest me the scheme(company names) of large cap funds in which i should inevest .
        your suggestion would be highly appreciate and make me doubtfree.

        1. Invest in top large cap funds like ICICI focussed blue chip fund and Birla SL Frontline equity fund. In hybrid segment, invest in best balanced funds like ICICI Balanced fund and HDFC balanced fund

  234. I started investing in MF from this year. Following is my portfolio. Please suggest if this looks ok or do I need to make any change –

    Equity:

    1. Good funds Gupta. Keep investing. You should add more large cap funds so that you can create wealth in long run. In future if you are adding funds, invest in large cap funds indicated here.

  235. Hi Suresh,

    Your articles are welcome and most informative. Because of your information ONLY, I am investing in a properway i.e. ICICI Pro Focused Bluchip, Birla Sun Life Blue Chip, HDFC Midcap,Franklin Smalles Cos,Mirare Emerging Blue Chip Funds from last 2 years. Thanks for that.

    My question is, How to earn 1cr with 5lacks cash in 5 years. 

    Please suggest.

    Thanks,

    Ramakrishna.

     

    1. Hi Ramakrishna. Thanks for your valuable comments. Rs 5 Lakhs to 1 Crore in 5 years is difficult task, however possible if you can focus on your goal. Few options are 1) Invest in all IPO’s I keep recommending 2) Invest in mid-cap stocks during correction 3) Invest in midcap mutual funds during corrections. These would definitely fetch you good returns in 5 years. If you do not want to loose your goal, keep investing your savings through SIP in these top SIP mutual funds.

  236. Namste sir,

      I am totally new in share market, dont know lot about market. Want to invest 50 thousands in market. Sir, please tell me, how, where and for how long i invest?

    1. Chandan, Thanks for you greetings in Indian tradition “Namaste”. First please open any mutual fund account with ICICI direct or fundsindia. Then start investing in mutual funds to start with.

  246. Hi Suresh

    Your blog is very helping and informative.

    Can you tell us how much % of our monthly savings should go into Equity related MFs

    1. There is no hard and soft rule here. You can keep some emergency money and invest balance savings in mutual funds. However invest in diversified portfolio like i indicated and don’t go over board on particular market cap or sector.

  247. Hi Suresh

    Your blog is very helping and i have been following it from past 2 years.

    Can you tell me how much % of our monthly should go in these equity mutual funds each month. I have read somewhere that we should invest 25% of monthly savings in equity related mutual funds. What do you suggest?

    If you can suggest a breakup (precentage wise) about how to make a portfolio with mf , gold, fd etc. That will be very helpful

  248. Should I continue to invest in HDFC Top 200 fund or shift to some other fund? I also have invested in L & T India Value fund apart from HDFC Balanced and Franklin India Smaller Companies fund. I also have equity SIPs for TCS and IHCL technologies. Do I need to make any changes?

  249. Hi Suresh,

    Good Analysis and a great blog for investors like me to understand the nuances of mutual fund investments.

    Below is my portfolio , would like to know your view point.

    2) Mirae Asset Emerging Blue Chip fund- Mid Cap – SIP of 1000 monthly
    3) DSP BR Micro Cap Fund- Small cap- SIP of Rs 1500 monthly

    4) Axis long term equity – ELSS- Rs 30000 lumpsum
    5) Birla Sun life tax plan – ELSS- Rs 24000 lumpsum

    6) Have 1 FD as well.

    Aiming to achieve/expectations – Returns of about 15-20 % over a time horizon of 3-5 yrs

    Let me know your thoughts and advice me if there needs to be any changes done

  250. Hi Suresh,
    I have SIP in 2016 in following Mutual Funds:

    1. HDFC Balanced Fund -Direct (G)
    2. ICICI PRU VALUE DISCOVERY FUND -Direct (G)
    3. ICICI PRU TOP 100 -Direct (G)
    4. Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund -Direct (G)
    5. UTI EQUITY FUND -Direct (G)

    What is your take on these funds?
    Shall I continue with them or change any of them?

    I want to invest 20K more as SIP for 10 years. Can you suggest how can I invest it? Shall I invest in one MF or divide in more than 1? Please suggest a good MF.

      1. Thanks Suresh for your valuable reply.

        Can you advise me how can I destribute 20K Rupees. Shall I invest it in one single fund or more than one?
        Shall I invest 15 K in Birla Sunlife and 5k in may be UTI Mid Cap or ICICI Pru Focussed Bluechip Fund?
        Please advice.

        Also, I am hearing about NFO’s. Can you please explain the pros and cons of NFO’s?

        1. Invest in 4-5 funds Bhushan. You can invest in large cap funds and balanced funds to start. Later you can add midcap funds too. Regd NFO, if you can post this topic on “Suggest a topic”, it would be on my radar and I would be able to write article in next week. Thanks

  251. what should be the action for the MF invested in 2016 and not in a list of 2017. Hold/Redeem?
