Hi Fishes,

Need to understand one thing, myself and my wife has invested around 25L in MF, both long term and currently sip, its been close to an year. So when can I expect some good returns? My only goal is wealth creation for almost 10 years I am ready to play in the market, Also we both have close to 30L in FDs which is termed as debt fund plus ppf and nps close to 20L, so currently put majorly into equity since ready to take risk. Also have a 1 year old son for him also we have started SIP

“When can I expect some good return?”

Understand this in equity that growth is never linear, some year it could be just 5%, another year it could be 40%. So if it’s long term, sit back and relax, let the sip do the magic.

Coming to debt part, Although from taxation perspective fd and debt funds are similar but in fd, taxation is yearly VS on withdrawal for debt fund. so ur losing some of your investment every year in tax, if possible consider switching somemof ur debt part to debt mutual fund from fd.


To make wealth, equity is the way for most of ppl unless u have lot of money to put in real estate and IF your decision goes right( it’s a big IF), so ur in the right path, continue on ur wealth journey

Sir you need to understand markets don't work.as per our whims. There a bull runs when markets generate good returns and bear runs when markets are down significantly.

Most of your money is in FD which would be generating little to no returns compared to Inflation. Read a bit about investing and how the market cycles work. When the market goes down invest in Index funds as you really don't have a good understanding of market. Don't go for instruments you don't understand. Index are low cost funds which typically beat the rest of the funds.

Wait for stock market to fall, get some amount from FD at that time and invest in index funds or top large cap companies. At the moment FD rates are high, good to take advantage of that.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
