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 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:
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.
Mitesh Gupta: I am 42 years old and I am looking to build a corpus of 15 Cr in the next 15 years through SIP The current value of my funds is 70 lakh plus. Currently my monthly SIP value is Rs 62500.

1. SBI Small cap fund Rs 10000
2. Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip fund -- Rs 10000
3. Motilal Oswal focussed 25 -- Rs 6000
4. Para Parikh Flexi cap fund -- Rs 9000
5. SBI equity Hybrid Fund -- Rs 9000
6. SBI Focussed Equity Fund -Rs 6500
7. Canara Robeco Emerging Equities -- Rs 6000
8. Axis Mid cap fund -- Rs 6000
I am also investing around Rs 75000 to 1 lakh annually divided in funds such as ICICI Pru Bluechip fund, Quant large and midcap fund, ICICI Pru equity and debt fund, PGIM India Mid Cap Opp Fund and Quant Absolute fund. Please do suggest will it help me to achieve my target of 15 crores in the next 15 years.
Ulhas Joshi: To achieve your goal of Rs 15 Crore, you need to double your SIPs and increment them by 15 per cent every year. Your scheme selection is good.
AKASH SINGHA ROY: Sir I have 15k. i want to invest it as a lump sum. i don't have any knowledge in mf. i want to invest it for min 10 years and i am willing to take any risk. so please suggest me one or two mf (whichever is best) for investment which will give me highest return after min 10 years.

My question is do I need more diversification? Or are these investments enough to create Rs 10 Cr corpus at the time of retirement. Please guide. Thanks in advance for your suggestion.
Ulhas Joshi: You need double the SIP amounts and increment them by 15 per cent annually. You are investing in 9 schemes. You already have an over diversified portfolio. You can consolidate same category schemes.
K Jaganath Senapati: Here is my question:
Q1. I want you to review my current ongoing SIP funds and suggest in case of any corrections required.
Q2. I am 32, unmarried and working in the IT field and have had 79K/monthly SIP running since 2017. My plan is to have enough corpus to fulfill any kind of requirement that involves money. Like: my marriage expense, my retirement, House Purchase, vacation, etc.
Here are my MF fund details:
Please do share your suggestions.
Ulhas Joshi: Your scheme selection is good. We recommend you to step up the SIP installments every year by 15 per cent.
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.
Parijat Kundu: I am 32 and recently started investing in SIPs. Currently I am investing 12k SIP every month in the following funds:
In addition to this, I am putting 1 lakh in PPF every year.
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.
