a little analysis:
6k in debt (gpf).
3k in mid-small cap fund (idfc premier equity and BSL dyplus)
2k in multicap (hdfc eq)
6k in large cap.
= 11k in equity
the 2300k in icici ulip is in which fund, so didnt add. But suppose it is in equity, then the net equity investment is 13300 per month.
A lot of suppositions:
1. I would guess, you dont have adequate life insurance. So get one sufficient to protect the financial dependents.
2. I would guess, you have got enough emergency funds and health insurance.
Coming to final recommendations:
Out of the 20k you invest every month,
1. 6k in gpf is more than enough.
2. 2300 in ulip – i think you cant decrease it. and increasing it with some premium allocation charge doesnt help you. so keep it as it is. Just make sure you put it in the equity funds.
3. Keep 1 large cap (my pref=franklin blue chip), 1 multicap (hdfc equity) and 1 mid-small cap (idfc premier equity), in the ratio of 6k, 3k, 2k. That means consolidate your large cap funds in one, consolidate bsl dyplus into hdfc equity and keep idfc premier eq as it is.
– Keeping more than 3-4 funds is detrimental both for returns as well as for its a headache to manage them.
– Gold funds should not be a part of one’s portfolio (Equities will tend to provide much better returns in the long run).
– Always strive to minimize churning and unnecessary changes.
Another approach is to get 2 multicaps like (fidelity / hdfc equity ) and (templeton india equity income / templeton india growth) and a mid-small cap like idfc premier equity, in the ratio of 4k,4k,3k. But this would not force you to change a lot of funds.
Hope this helps you.
