Hello,
Firstly, I want to congratulate you on the excellent work you are doing, forums like this is a big boon for self directed investors like me where one can learn a lot by reading and at the same time benefit from other’s experience. Well Done!
Until now, i have always relied on traditional investments like bank fixed deposits, recurring deposits. Of late, i have forayed into Mutual funds. Based on the knowledge i have gained from forums likes these, value research and moneycontrol, i have started investing in the following funds. I am looking at equity mutual funds for long term (retirement, child’s education) and debt funds for short term (accumulating money to pay off home loan quicker, holidays and emergency fund). I would greatly appreciate your views on my self designed portfolio as decribed below. I am 30 years of age.
Large Cap: DSP BlackRock – Top 100 Equity – Rs. 6000/ month
Small and Mid Cap: SBI Magnum Emerging Businesses-G -Rs. 6000/ month
Gold ETF: Goldman Sachs (GOLDEX) – Rs. 3000/ month
Debt Short term: HDFC Short term opportunities – Rs 5000/ month
Debt long term: SBI Dynamic Bond Fund – Rs. 5000/ month
Look forward to your recommendation.
Thanks
Kaushik
