    Hi Baba Shankar,

    Your investment amount and horizon should be based on the returns you are expecting.Purely going by Market capitalization is not sufficient. In financial world, Balanced Portfolio means investment divided between equity and debt. Based on your age the portfolio rebalancing needs to be done. In early age of life, equity component should be more and towards later part of your life (preferably around 45) Debt component should increase.

    Suggest think in this direction.

    What exactly do you mean by Balanced Portfolio?

    1. BabaShankar says:

      @Ramesh,

      Balanced means, mixture of market capitalization.

      1. Ramesh says:

        Get Fidelity Equity and DSP Equity (4-5K each). These 2 are enough in terms of both market caps.
        And if at all required, add IDFC Premier Equity / Quantum Long Term Equity.

        Dont go for more funds, will be my advice.
