Q: 30-year-old Arun Yadav writes to us from Gujarat. I want to invest Rs 20,000 per month in SIP. Please advise.

A: Four thumb-rules for constructing a SIP portfolio:

Have a tenor for at least 10 years.

Choose funds with higher volatility measured by standard deviation.

Use a mix of multicap funds and maybe some midcap funds to add more risk/return.

Choose funds with different investment styles.

Given this framework, you can consider the following four funds:

Motilal Multicap 35.

Aditya Birla Equity Advantage Fund.

Kotak Contra.

DSP MidCap Fund.
