You have made a god selection of funds across categories that offer you the much desired diversity in style and number of funds. By adopting in a core and satellite approach, you can benefit from the power of compounding that SIP investments offer over the long-term and also gain from the diversity and balance that the portfolio gets from such an approach. This way you will get both the stability and growth for long-term wealth creation. Ideally, you should look at investing 70-80 per cent in core funds such as large- and large- and mid-cap funds and the remaining in satellite funds.
Currently you have a 50-50 allocation; you should consider investing the balance Rs 5,000 that you plan to invest in another large-cap fund such as DSPBR Top 100 Equity. And do make it a point to review and evaluate the performance of your fund holdings at least once a year to check its progress and make any changes to the holdings if necessary.
