Hi ST. I hope you are doing good. I need your suggestion to invest in MF for retirement. my uncle age is 46 year and he can invest Rs 15k to 20K per month in MF. He is working in a private company without any PF or EPF. Currently, he has only FD and own house. Thanks for your help.
For beating the inflation investing in equity or equity mutual funds in not an option but it is a necessity.As your uncle has about 14-15 years for retirement,I suggest he can start SIPs in small cap,multicap and largecap funds.I would suggest Rs 3000 in small cap,Rs 7000 in multicap and Rs 5000 in diversified largecap funds and as the retirement comes near,before 1-2 years of retirement he can shift the fund value in balanced funds to reduce the volatility risk.I am assuming that he has insured himself adequately for life and medical insurance.
For small cap funds consider Reliance small cap Fund,Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund, For multicap Fund consider ICICI Prudential India Opportunities or ICICI Value Discovery Fund ,Motilal Oswal Multicap 35 Fund, and for Large cap Fund consider Birla Sunlife Focussed Equity Fund,ICICI Bluechip Fund,Birla Sunlife Frontline Equity Fund.....these are just examples,you can google search and decide on other funds as well...
If he is working in a Pvt company without PF,pension then he must start investing in mutual funds.As he gains experience in mutual funds he can redeem his FDs and move the money to balanced funds....but capital formation is must for him in next 14-15 years.....it is already late,don’t delay it further.After retirement for his monthly expenses he can do SWP...but that will come much later.After 14-15 years he must retire with a Fund value of Rs 2.5 to 3 Cr...so the time is running out.He has to invest more in SIPs .
Remember people say that investing in equities and equity MF is risky....but not investing in them is more risky .
Best wishes for his happy and wealthy retirement.....
