'I want to start investing SIPs, monthly investment would be 1,500-2,000.'
Omkeshwar Singh, Head, Rank MF (extrenal link), a mutual fund investment platform, answers your queries:
TGA: I saw your kind answers to many queries on Rediff and wanted to ask your advice on my retirement financial model. Here it is:
Portfolio:
Hybrid 10%
Flexi 10%
Mid 10%
Small 5%
Contra 5%
All India funds only.
I am 2 years from retirement and want to start drawing 3% out every year from next year but only 0.25% monthly no one shot annual drawing.
Question to you: Assuming I have 30 more years to live do you THINK will the above model work? I have evaluated the bucket model and feel the full equity model is better.
Please let me know your thoughts.
With 3 % annual withdrawal,
Omkeshwar Singh: Bucket /Basket route is good for post-retirement investment and periodic withdrawal.
Combination of Equity and Hybrid funds can provide for 30 years
Also 3% annual withdrawal is very decent, that will ensure that the money does not get depleted and in-fact the corpus will only keep growing
Raj Kotwadekar: Age: 23
