I am 31 and am investing Rs 1,000 every month through SIPs in Reliance Regular Savings Equity, HDFC Top 200 and Reliance Equity Opportunities. I also have Rs 2,000 SIP in Reliance Growth. I further plan to invest additional Rs 2,000 every month to build Rs 20 lakh savings in 15 years and Rs 20 lakh after 25 years for my child's marriage. Please guide me on my choice of funds.

Data as on January 31, 2012
You should get what you want by continuing with your systematic investment plans (SIPs) in various equity funds. Currently you are investing Rs 5,000/month and plan to invest an additional Rs 2,000/month.
Ideally, you should look at investing 70 per cent in core funds and the remaining in satellite funds. Your core funds must be from the 'Equity: Large cap' and 'Equity: Large & Mid Cap' categories. The satellite component can comprise of mid-cap, sector and multi-cap funds.
Frankly, you have too many schemes from Reliance Mutual Fund. You also have two funds that fall in the 'Equity: Mid & Small Cap' category. Consider a large-cap fund like Franklin India Bluechip. Fidelity Equity is another one you can consider from the 'Equity: Large & Mid Cap' category. You can stop your SIP in Reliance Growth.
