Dear Manish,

I am seeking suggestion/advice in my Financial planning. Following are the details:

Age: 25 Yrs

Current Investment: 

LIC jeevan Anand: 25K/Yr (1 Premium paid and next due in Feb 2013)

PPF Account: 4-5K/month (just opened a month Back for Tax And long term benefits)

Plus I have invested around 35K in Mutual Funds (biffircated equally DSPBR Small & Mid Cap Fund(G), UTI Opportunities Fund(G), ICICI Pru Focused Blue Chip Equity Fund(G) ) Last Year.

 

I have enough Savings in My saving account to survive for a year. I am planning to get married next year.

    Sorry, Gagan. I am not an investor in MFs. You could refer to other’s queries in this forum which have been addressed by experts. I can just mention at a high level that you need to invest in MFs which invest in large cap companies. Do not try to make quick money. Just try to grow with normal market rate.

    thanks Bhushan for the Reply.. Any Idea which SIP would be better..?

    Could SIP be bought of q particular company or it can be changed with time..?

    1 – buy a term insurance. May be Rs 50 lakh or more. This is required when you have dependents.
    2 – Your current investments are good.
    2a – PPf: continue. If possible pay in one or two instalments a year. I pay full amount before April5 of every year to get maximum advantage.
    2b – Mutual Gunds: Although I do not know much about individual MFs, I suggest you limit to 3 MFs and do regular SIPs. Use this only as retirement fund. As you grow in your career, you will start saving more. Keep increasing SIPs accordingly.
