Anonymous: I am 19 now and want to retire with Rs 10 cr at 35. Please suggest my investment instruments allocation.

Invest 70 per cent in actively managed equity funds and 30 per cent in debt funds.

You have a longer time frame. SIP will reap you benefits in the long term.

All the best!

 

Vivek: Hi. I am 42 with capital of Rs 30 lakh and need to start SIP of Rs 20,000. Purpose is child education and retirement fund (time span 5-7 years). Kindly suggest in which SIP I should invest and capital in which mutual fund.

Please select a consistently performing flexicap fund.

 

Yousuf: Dear Sir, I want to invest Rs 1.5 lakh in MF for 5 years. Please guide which MF is better to get high growth refund with minimum risk?

Minimum risk and high return are oxymorons. You will not get it.

To get a reasonable return of 12 per cent with market risk, you can choose to invest in diversified equity funds.

 

Anonymous: Hello. I invest Rs 7,000 monthly in different mutual funds as SIP. Moreover, each month I invest Rs 5,000 in stocks. Sometimes I get lump sum amount of passive income too. So where should I invest that amount? What are other better or safe options than these two or should I invest that amount in this too? Thanks :)

As of now, you may focus on building your equity mutual fund portfolio.

Invest in 2 or 3 good actively managed diversified equity funds. That will be sufficient.

 

Anonymous: Please suggest a few mutual fund sectors for investing Rs 10 lakhs in SIP for an investment holding period 20-25 years.

Please select diversified equity funds.

In the long run, you need to exit from one sector to another if you select sectoral funds. In diversified equity funds, sector rotation will be taken care of by the fund manager.
