The plan of getting flexi-cap and large- and mid-cap funds because the core of your portfolio sounds good from a long-term perspective. The checklist of funds you’re investing in is nice. Though some funds you’re investing in are launched within the final couple of years and therefore they lack a long-term observe report. I might counsel you contemplate the long-term observe report of the funds earlier than investing in funds. This helps us perceive how the funds have carried out throughout completely different market cycles.

While you could have accomplished the best factor by limiting the funding in small-cap funds, Edelweiss Recently IPO Fund additionally carries some extra danger because the fund predominantly invests in corporations which might be lately listed. This funding might occur at a better valuation and even the holding interval might be longer.

Debt Funds and Balanced Funds can work properly for you if you’re investing in these funds for short- or medium-term wants. If the holding interval on your lumpsum funding is long-term, then you could spend money on fairness funds as you may give extra time for the funding to develop.

It is a good suggestion so as to add a price fund to your portfolio and you’ll contemplate investing round 10-15% of your portfolio in a price fund. DSP Value fund is a lately launched fund and as talked about earlier we now have a restricted observe report of this fund. Hence, proper now, you may additionally contemplate ICICI Value Discovery Fund or UTI Value Opportunities Fund the place these funds have been via completely different market cycles. You might proceed to have DSP Value Fund below your watchlist and anticipate some extra time earlier than investing in it. Even Parag Parikh as a fund home follows ideas of worth investing and therefore the ingredient of worth investing is there in your current portfolio as properly.

As most worldwide funds spend money on the US inventory market, you’ll be able to contemplate Motilal Oswal S&P 500 Index Fund as this may give you a greater sector allocation. It is best to restrict the allocation round 10-15% in International Funds.
