Q: Investors wants to invest Rs 2 lakh lump sum every year in mutual fund or ULIP. His goal is Rs 10 crore. How should he allocate the money?
A: First of all, I think when he is planning for retirement, an important thing to note is the time of his retirement. He mentioned that he wants to accumulate these funds in the next 10 years. If he is going to invest Rs 2 lakh per annum and he already has about Rs 2 lakh of investments currently, we should assume a return on the portfolio of about 10-12% typically with possibly about 60% currently in equities and the balance in fixed income type of products.
