I started investing in January 2021 with a current portfolio of 40:60 across Mutual Funds ad stocks. The MF portfolio is giving my a current return of around 10% cumulative whereas the stocks are giving around 6% cumulative.

Not sure how to get the game right.

How did you choose the MF and stocks?

None of the filters you used are indicating future growth potential. In fact they are usually the opposite. D/E is good but needs to be used along with ROE and ROCE. OPM of its stagnant doesn't mean anything. Stock market rewards growth not well running stagnant business. And I think just applying a bunch of ratio cuts is not going to give you good stock picks. You need to do full financial analysis of the companies that you Identity through those cuts, formulate/read stories and then invest. It's a tedious exercise which requires effort and experience. Better to stick with MFs if you don't have the skill or intent to spend a few years learning. Plus evaluating an equity portfolio in 6 months is like evaluating a baby born after an year of what it could become after growing up!

If you just started, 6 months is too short a time period to evaluate performance

Too early to judge the performance!

Even a blind bet in this bull market on Monday can give you a good return by Friday.

Also the MF’s that you have selected are too safe to even understand what this market and compounding has to offer.

Golden advice:

Invest via SIP in a Index Mutual fund with low expense ratio (TER). I’m confident that this investment will beat your Active MFs and Stocks in the long run. (5yrs+)

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
