If you make investments ₹7,000 a month for the subsequent 10 years, your funding worth on the finish of the tenure, assuming 10% annual returns, could be near ₹14 lakh. If you add on the returns you get, hopefully, out of your lump sum funding and your inventory name, there’s a truthful likelihood that you’ll attain your objective on this interval.
However, you have to enhance your SIP from the present ₹4,000 to ₹6,000 (or higher but ₹7,000 as you might be able to) so as to take action.
You are investing in a balanced benefit fund and a targeted fund (diversified). Given your time-frame and expectations, you’ll be able to allocate the extra cash into fairness funds. A diversified fund within the type of Parag Parikh Flexi Cap and a midcap within the type of DSP Midcap could be good additions.
I’ve been making SIPs within the following funds for the previous one-and-a-half years. Some are for ₹5,000 and others for ₹6,000. 1. IDFC Govt Securities Fund – Investment – Growth; 2. Nippon India Nivesh Lakshya – Regular – Growth; 3. UTI Flexicap – Growth; 4. SBI Focused Fund – Regular – Growth; 5. Axis Bluechip – Growth; 6. ICICI Prudential Bluechip – Growth; 7. Axis Midcap – Growth; 8. Kotak Emerging Fund – Growth; 9. DSP Healthcare – Regular – Growth; 10. Tata Digital India – Regular – Growth; 11. Mirae Asset Tax Saver – Regular – Growth; 12. Principal Hybrid – Regular – Growth; 13. Franklin India Feeder US Opportunity Fund – Growth; 14. HSBC Brazil Fund – Growth.

I presume your query is to remark in your portfolio holdings. To accomplish that, I’ll go forward and assume that it is a long-term portfolio (to be invested for at the very least 5 years).
Firstly, there are too many funds on this portfolio even if you’re investing near ₹75,000 a month in them. So, my first suggestion could be to consolidate your holdings into fewer schemes.
You can take away the numerous esoteric funds out of your portfolio—the Brazil fund, the healthcare fund, the digital fund; all these don’t belong in a general-purpose long-term portfolio. You can consolidate the quantity going to those funds amongst different holdings.
Among the others, you’ll be able to cut back the large-cap funds (Axis and ICICI) into only one, and higher but make it an index fund. The solitary debt fund in your portfolio is a authorities bond fund, which implies that you have to be ready for some volatility throughout your funding tenure.
As such, general, it is a high-risk portfolio and you’ll do nicely to derisk it.
