Q: 39-year-old Koti M writes us from Andhra Pradesh. These are my financial goals: My first child's education in nine years (Rs 1 crore), second child's education in 12 years (Rs 1.2 crore) and my first child's wedding in 15 years (Rs 1 crore). My retirement in 20 years (Monthly income of Rs 2 lakh). Note that I have not tied my financial goals to my investments yet. Please evaluate my portfolio and help me in setting a scheme to a goal.

Here is the list of my SIP:

ABSL Tax Relief 965,000
Axis Long Term Equity Fund5,000
BNP Paribas Mid Cap Fund9,000
HDFC Mid Cap5,000
HDFC Small Cap Fund9,000
Invesco India Small Cap Fund6,000
Kotak Emerging Equity Scheme9,000
L&T Emerging Businesses Fund6,000
L&T Midcap Fund9,000
RELIANCE SMALL CAP FUND6,000
RELIANCE GROWTH FUND9,000
SBI Small Cap Fund6,000

A: You have very high exposure in small and mid cap funds. As BNP Paribas Mid Cap has been underperforming its benchmark, you can replace this scheme with a large cap fund. You can add ICICI Prudential Bluechip or SBI Bluechip Fund. Replace Reliance Growth Fund with Reliance Large Cap Fund. Your current monthly investment is good in ratio of your month income, but increase the amount every year in line of increment in your income.
