    1. Hello raman, first is you should be investing in so many funds (my god 21 funds :-)). You can cut them to 5-8 mutual fund schemes. Most of the funds are in smallcap, midcap, sector funds (except for last one which is retirement fund). If you are high risk investor, pick 2 funds from each of these categories and invest in them

  13. Dear Suresh Sir,

    I have invested in the below funds last year in monthly SIP. I am 35 years old and would like to make corpus of at least80 lakhs in 10 years.

    Most of the funds except Axis long term equity all funds are showing negative SIP returns. Have I invested in the good funds and when to seriously look to change/switch funds.

    Axis Mutual Funds – 5000
    DSP BlackRock Focus 25 Fund – Direct Plan – Growth- 3000
    Birla Sunlife Mutual Fund – 6000
    Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund – 5000
    Franklin Tempelton India – 2000
    L&T India Value Fund – 3000
    Principal Emerging Blue Chip Fund – 2000
    HDFC Balance Fund – 2000
    Franklin India Savings Plus Fund Retail Option -4000

    Looking forward to your valuable reply

    1. Hi Umesh, some of the fund names indicated by you are only mutual fund house name, you need to indicate complete name so that I can guide you. 

      1. Dear Suresh Sir,

        Apologies, I missed fund names in the previous query. Please find the below:

        Axis Long term equity (tax saving)– 5000
        DSP BlackRock Focus 25 Fund – Direct Plan – Growth- 3000
        Birla Sunlife Frontline equity Mutual Fund – 6000
        Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund – 5000
        Franklin Tempelton India smaller companies – 2000
        L&T India Value Fund – 3000
        Principal Emerging Blue Chip Fund – 2000
        HDFC Balance Fund – 2000
        Franklin India Savings Plus Fund Retail Option ( Debt)-4000

        All are direct growth plans which are about 10 to 12 months old. Recently all the funds except Axis are showing negative SIP% returns. I am worried and let me know when to seriously look for switching to other funds.

        Looking forward to your quick reply.

        Regards,
        Umesh Kumar

        1. Hi Umesh, The funds which you are investing are good. However due to markets being down in some of the midcap/small cap stocks, you are seeing negative or low returns. Continue to invest as you should not be worrying about short term fluctutations.

  16. Hi Sureshji,

    I have stayed invested in the below funds for past few years..

    Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund – Regular Plan Growth Option
    RELIANCE PHARMA FUND – GROWTH PLAN – GROWTH OPTION
    SBI HEALTHCARE OPPORTUNITIES FUND REGULAR GROWTH
    UTI-TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTIC SECTOR – GROWTH PLAN

    Awaiting quick response..

    Santosh

    1. Good funds. However fnd you invested are sector funds and midcap funds. These are high risk. You should invest in balanced portfolio of diversified funds and sector funds. You may add some funds in largecap/diversified segment too

  17. Hi Suresh Ji,

    How are you doing?

    I am investing in Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund – Direct Plan – Growth, could you please tell me your view on this. It is negative over the months now

    Thanks,
    Prashanth

    1. Hi Prashant, Midcap and smallcap stocks has been taking correction for the past few months, hence you are seeing that your midcap fund showing negative returns. This is an opportunity to invest more now. Don’t worry about short term fluctuations, you need to see this from medium to long term perspective

      1. Dear Suresh,

        Please clarify ” This is an opportunity to invest more now”. Does this mean to buy lump sum or SIP during negative returns period. If yes, which one to prefer SIP or lump sum. Also I have one more query, is CAGR and SIP return% are same? and how is it different from absolute return. Many thanks in advance

        Looking forward to your quick response.

        1. Hi Umesh, What I meant is now midcap/smallcap stocks are taking beating, hence you can invest some money in those funds. You can invest more through SIP, but even if you are some lumpsum money, you can invest them now.

  18. Dear Mr Suresh
    I am investing in the following two funds (from March 2011)
    DSP Small cap 3000/ PM

  21. Dear suresh,
    could you please advise on my portfolio
    Monthly SIP of 40K

    ABSL Equity fund (Multicap) : 20K
    ICICI Equity and debit Fund( Balanced fund) : 20k

    Fixed amount of 20 Lks in ICICI Bluchip fund (Previous SIP closed now)
    all are direct and growth option funds.

    1. Hi RKR, you are investing your SIP of 40K in just 2 funds. What happens if these funds start underpeforming after some time. Hence, take 5-7 mutual fund schemes (you can pickup from this list) and invest in them. Your Fixed amount in ICICI Bluechip fund can continue as this is good fund

      1. Sir, Can I ,ake changes to my portfolio

        The following way.

        TAT Equity PE fund : 5 K

        Mirae Asset India equity fund : 5K

        Reliance Scap fund : 5 k

        HDFC MidCap fund : 5K

        ABSL Equitry fund : 10 K

        ICICI Equity&Debt fund : 10k

        OR Should I add more funds. your advise please

        Reg

        RKR

        1. Dear Sir my other oprion is : 

          Reliance Small Cap fund : 10K

          HDFC MIdcap fund: 10K

          ABSL Equity : 10K

          ICIC Equity and Debt fund : 10K

           

        2. Hi RKR, There are some spelling errors indicated in your list. Reliance SCAP fund should be smallcap fund. If my understanding is correction, the funds indicated in your list are good, stay invested
