Mukul Sethi: I am 24 and I am planning to start SIPs in the following funds.
Quant Tax Plan Direct Growth -- 10,600
Tata Small Cap Fund -- 9,405
ICICI Pru Dividend Yield Equity Fund -- 5,985
ICICI Pru Nifty Index Fund -- 5,130
DSP Nifty Next 50 Index Fund -- 5,130
ABSL Nifty SDL+PSU 60:40 Index -- Sep'26 -- 5,130
ICICI Pru Credit Risk Fund -- 3,420
I'll be stepping up my SIPs by about 15 per cent every year.Would you recommend any changes? What would be the approximate size of my corpus after 20 years?
Ulhas Joshi: Index funds are good options for developed markets. Indian markets are still in the developing market stage. You can opt for below funds instead of index funds:
- UTI Flexicap Fund with Rs 5,000 SIP
- PPFAS Flexicap Fund with Rs 5,000 SIP
- Samco Flexicap Fund with Rs 5,000 SIP
Assuming 12 per cent XIRR with a 15 per cent annual step-up increment to your SIPs for 20 years, you can create a corpus of around Rs 4.2 Crore.

Mohammad Aleemuddin: I'm 39 yrs old, need your advice, I want to start SIP in MF for long term. I select SBI small cap fund and SBI multi cap each @ 5k. I need your help. I need more returns and it will be secure. Or suggest which is the best one?
Ulhas Joshi: You can consider UTI Flexicap instead of SBI Multicap Fund. SBI Small Cap Fund is fine. Equity funds are subject to market risks and returns cannot be assured.

- What should I do to build a 3cr corpus in the next 15 yrs?
- Is my portfolio over diversified?
- If yes, please advise how to restructure it.
- Additionally, can you please let me know if XIRR is better than CAGR for assessing performance?
Ulhas Joshi:You have decent funds but have over diversified scheme selection. Please consider consolidating similar category schemes.
To create a corpus of Rs 3 Crore in 15 years, you need to invest Rs 50,000 per month.
For SIP investments, XIRR is better for assessing performance.

Rajasekaran P: Dear sir, I’m 42 years old, and have been investing in Mutual Fund schemes for the last 12 years. I have generated 1.45 Crore in Equity schemes and 80 Lakh in Debt schemes so far. I have listed below my goals along with the investment details and the number of years left for each goal.
I'm planning to move the funds accumulated in Mirae Large Cap and Kotak Flexi Cap schemes out to other schemes. Would need your advice on mutual fund scheme selection, overall portfolio, and additional investments needed to reach all my goals?
One last question: Do you think I can invest some funds in Quant Mutual Fund? I heard that they have a different investment approach. Kindly advice.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Ulhas Joshi: You are investing in good schemes and should continue with your investments. Quant is a good and upcoming fund house with a differentiated strategy. You can start with 5 per cent to 10 per cent of your new allocation to Quant schemes.
Akshatha Ab: I am 32 years old. I am not a working woman but I have 2 lakh. I am new to mutual fund and stocks related things. I would like to know which MF or SIP is good to invest my amount and get 2 crore in 5 yrs.
Ulhas Joshi: To start with investing in mutual funds, you can consider investing in balanced advantage funds.
To create a corpus of Rs 2 Crore in 5 years, you need to have monthly SIPs of Rs 2.5 Lakh in equity schemes.
You can opt for:
Samco Flexicap Fund-Growth
UTI Flexicap Fund-Growth
PPFAS Flexicap Fund-Growth
The current 3 schemes are good. You need to consider increasing your monthly investments by Rs 50,000 to achieve your Rs 2 Crore goal.
