I am 34 and working with the government of India earning Rs 35,000 a month. My monthly expenses are Rs 12,000 and I wish to invest Rs 15,000 every month to create long-term wealth through mutual funds. Please suggest funds to invest and if this is the right approach.

If this is your first mutual fund investment, you are a late starter. However, systematic investment plans offered by mutual funds are the best way to start investing to achieve long-term wealth creation. You still have 26 years to go for retirement and this is a good time period to catch up. We are suggesting you a portfolio of five funds with 70 per cent equity allocation. All these funds are highly rated and have a proven track record and performance and collectively offer you stability and growth. You should have equal allocation across all the funds and make it a habit to track the performance of these funds at least once a year to evaluate the progress and make any changes to the selected funds if any of them starts to underperform. Moreover, as and when you can invest more; you should do so in these funds to make the most of power of compounding and systematic investments in mutual funds.
