Yuva: I have an investment horizon of 10 - 15 years with a goal of wealth creation. I have a stable job, emergency fund for an year's expense, term & health insurance, zero debt and a surplus of 50k p.m for investment. I'm planning for a sip with Parag Parekh Long Term Equity Direct Growth, Motilal Oswal Nasdaq100 FOF Direct Growth and Mirae Asset Tax Saver Fund Direct Growth (strictly only for 80C) through a Demat based MF Distributor (Coin). Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip is tempting, though I prefer a MF with low churn. Should I go through with this plan as it is? Your suggestions are most welcome
