I am currently 32 and plan to continue investing for next 22 years minimum to create substantial corpus for child's future and retired life.'
Omkeshwar Singh, Head, Rank MF, a mutual fund investment platform, answers your queries:
Avinash Khobragade: I am 50 years old interested in Retirement Planning. What amount should be invested in MF SIP so as to get 50,000 Rs per month after 10 years? Please suggest good Mutual Funds to invest.
Omkeshwar Singh: Rs. 80 lakhs corpus will be required at your retirement for Rs. 50K withdrawal per month. This corpus will be invested in a combination of Hybrid and Debt funds so that the withdrawal can be perpetual with reasonable growth in the corpus as well.
To create a corpus of Rs. 80 lakhs in 10 years the monthly investment that would be required will be Rs. 32,500 (@13% per annum).
Yash Zanwar: I invest 1.25 lakh per month in SIP. These include both Debt and Equity investments. Below is the SIP spread across different days in a month.
I want your advice to help me reduce the number of funds and which once to increase and which to exit.
