These are the current nav.
Apart from this I have
SIP OF 15000/
I am 54 yr old and will be retiring from service by 2022 November.
I want to fix a swp of 50000/pm then onwrds.
Whether this investment will suffice for that.
Moreover do u think any chnge is needed in sip.
Omkeshwar Singh: 10% SWP of corpus will deplete the corpus, 7% to 7.5% is fine provided the corpus is invested in a hybrid basket and SWP is done from that basket.

My holding time for these will be 10yrs.
Will my corpus be 45 lakh after 10 years?
Omkeshwar Singh: Too many small caps, however, if you have the risk appetite then no issues.
Yes, Rs 15 lakh can become Rs 45 lakh in 10 years, however there will be high volatility as majority of your investment is in small caps.

I am investing in above mentioned schemes since last 4 years and current portfolio valuation of 23 lakh turns 40 lakh, since markets are at all-time high.
