Binoy Nair: I am Binoy working in UAE as a sales executive age 39. From kochin, Kerala. May I kindly get some advice for my mutual funds portfolio? I am doing below mutual funds SIP direct growth. & I stopped some SIPs and hold the funds.

Now I am doing 96k SIP. Need to start & continue total 1 lakh SIP for the next 8 to 10 years. Now current total SIP value is around 27 lakhs. This SIP s are for my retirement monthly income 30 to 35k (all are current value) after 10 years, and for my 2 children’s education 35 lakhs lumpsum after 10 & 15 years respectively.

I am thinking to stop ICICI pru blue chip & Birla frontline equity and to start Mirae large cap & one more Multi cap fund. I am moderate to little aggressive risk taker. What are the changes required? Should I hold the stopped funds or I need to redeem and deposit it to another funds? if to do so, in which funds I need to invest this lumpsum amounts?

Please advise me for the necessary changes required to make a good portfolio to invest for the next 8-10 years. Looking forward to get your reply positively.
