What would be the expected CAGR after 15 years from this portfolio?
Your portfolio seems well spread out and in line with your moderate risk appetite.
Having a balanced fund as part of the portfolio lends it the ability to tide over market cycles and find a balance between investing across equity and debt. ICICI Balanced Advantage Fund is a dynamic fund that has the flexibility to shift allocation between equity and fixed income depending on the attractiveness of the asset class and the manager’s views of the market. The fund has historically been managed with a significant exposure towards equity stocks, with debt constituting around 20-25% of the portfolio.
The other funds in your portfolio are also amongst the best in their respective categories.
SBI Small Cap is managed by Srinivasan and works as a great addition to your portfolio if you are looking to diversity into small caps.
Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip is a large and mid-cap fund that carries the highest Analyst Rating of Gold. The fund’s consistency backed by its long track record, the manager’s tenure, the in-depth research process are a few factors that out analysts like about this fund. The fund carries a significant exposure towards mid-cap stocks, and this helps investors diversity into mid-cap stocks.
Kotak Emerging Equity carries an analyst rating of Silver (Direct) and Bronze (Regular). We think that the fund is managed by a tenured manager who is supported by a well-rounded and experienced analyst team.
Having a gold fund also gives your portfolio the much-needed exposure towards the precious metal and this also acts as a hedge against portfolio risks.
Currently, this is the percentage allocation and each fund is linked to its relevant details:
The ideal asset allocation should be at around 70% for equity, 20% towards debt and the remaining towards other asset classes. A look at your asset allocation reveals a higher allocation to Gold, which you can likely reduce. Moreover, your allocation to large-cap stocks on an overall basis could go up considering that large caps provide a cushion to the portfolio. Do look at your goals and allocate towards asset classes in line with your long-term expectations and risk appetite.
