HOW I CAN ATTACH FILE WITH THIS QUESTION FORUM?

Hello all readers, I want to help one my relative who is investing in MFs since last few years. When i checked his MF investment details i found more than 30 funds in his list. I am attaching a excel list also for your reference. some of them are SIP and most of them are lumsum investment. His advisor suggest them to invest them whenever he invested. With looking at list , i am totally confused that how to help him in such market condition? I am just requesting you guys ( the expert ) to look once and please please please suggest what can be done with such long list of investments. what can be short and ease solution to keep it simple. Investor details are as under: he is 48 Yr old. Having a son studying in 10th and daughter doing Masters. Nearest Goal: Daughter Marriage Son Higher Education : 3 Yrs your any kind of comments and suggestion are most welcomed Thanks

  1. Dear Jig, as the time frame for both these goals is short term in nature i.e. within 1-3 years, All Eq. portfolio is not good. My take ‘ll be to shift a major part of the money in to a hybrid fund like HDFC MIP Long Term Plan. The Eq. portion is restricted to normally 20% thus it fits well for the desired time frame. A simple approach –

    Say for marriage 7L Rs. is the target amount. Invest 6L Rs. from the MF corpus to the above fund. With an average growth rate of 8-9%, the 6L Rs. amount can easily fetch the goal amount. Similar is the case of son’s education.

    Any left over in the investment amount should be invested in the Eq. funds discussed in the folio sheet.

    Thanks

    Daughter Marriage will be withink 1 to 2 yr. He has no other investment towards Retirement too except real estate.
    thanks

  3. Dear Jig, What’s the time frame for D’ter’s marriage say 3Y or 5Y or 7Y?

    The answer ‘ll change based upon the input. As the Son’s education is just 3Y away, an all Eq. portfolio is not good.

    Thanks

    Ashal,
    Your recommendations are good. Will it be ok to implement the same for person aged 48 whose nearly goal is daughter marriage and 3 Yrs goal is son higher education?

    thanks

    Dear Prabir,
    thanks for your view.
    Can you please explain in simple terms about what would be the solution. How to achieve it with simple steps.
    Regards

        Thank you very much Mr Prabir for Information.

  18. Last 5 yrs performance of a Large cap Funds & a Mid cap Funds are similar.Small cap funds quite different if your time horizon is 20 yrs plus. I had already add debt as a contingency so there is no requirement of any balance fund.

    SIP & STP’s are simple term of accumulation not for process of Investments.I used valuation for Restructuring my asset allocation.
    Lastly very thanks to manish.

    I want to share this knowledge to others needy and required persons. I came across this folio and would like to guide him in correct direction.

  20. While you were asking a question , you could have seen “add a file as attachment” option .. Now do it !

  21. I had already faced similar type of problem in FEB-2010. Your client having only 30 nos of funds and my client had holding only 90 to 100 funds. I told to my client, Sir Diversification
    is good idea for win like stock market battle.But Over Diversification is very big Risk to your
    Investment portfolio. I suggest him to from this year you diversify your investment in two diversify funds and maintain your contingency ( 6 months Ballpark expenses).And also wait
    for higher valuation market for redemption your old funds and allocate in this two Diversify
    fund by tracking the valuation and restructuring in higher valuation and add in lower valuation.In a down the line longer horizon period you make a handsome corpus for your
    future requirement or Goals.

    But here all 90 to 100 funds advised by a Private bank’s Representative.

    1. Prabir – Just a small change in the strategy.

      If one holds 90 funds and wants to invest in only 2 funds (my persoanl take is about 5 funds across Large, Mid and Small caps, Balanced and 1/2 Sectors) then they must simply do it NOW. You do not need valuations to come up because if you decide these 2 funds are the best they may most likely beat almost each of 88 funds over the next ‘ANY’ period. So sell those funds in part, move to Debt fund and STP them into the Core portfolio.Some can be sold and directly moved to the core portfolio
