PORTFOLIO CHECK-UP
Has been investing in a mix of hybrid and equity funds for the past 9-10 years.Regular investing has helped build a sizeable corpus.Funds are mostly good, but portfolio also has laggards.Plan to retire at 50 means a larger corpus will be required.Corpus should sustain 30-35 years in retirement.Goal is near so risk should be reduced. Shift from some equity funds to debt schemes.Direct stock investments are too low to add meaningful value. Shift to a mutual fund instead.Build an emergency fund with maturity proceeds of insurance plan for unexpected expenses.



Note from the doctor
Start SIPs in an arbitrage fund to build the holiday corpus.Use maturity amount of fixed deposits to pay for car.Go for balanced allocation to debt and equity funds in the NPS portfolio.Review investments and rebalance at least once a year.Reduce risk when goal is near so that you don’t miss the target.
