Portfolio Summary:

With an annual compounded return of 18.8%, the initial investment of rupees Rs 10 lakh becomes Rs 59.2 lakh after 10 years (5.9 times).
Note: Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Fund Performance:
I look at the fund performance for at least 10 years. Mirae Asset Large Cap Fund has outperformed the BSE index over the last 10 years.

Returns (%): I look at the returns over the 3-Year, 5-Year, and 10-Year period. Mirae Asset Large Cap Fund has underperformed the BSE index in 3-Years and outperformed the BSE index over 5-Y and 10-Years.

SIP vs. Lumpsum: Funds NAV performance mimics the BSE index. As a value investor, I like to buy things cheap and prefer lumpsum investment. I aim to invest more when the NAV is down 5% or more. For example, NAV was down 20% in Mar 2020, I would have invested the amount that I have planned to invest for the whole year. If you don’t have time to keep track of the market, then you may choose SIP.

Asset Allocation:

Return Expectations:
Buffett Formula:
Fund total returns = GDP growth (6%) + inflation (4%) + dividend yield (2%)
I would have a realistic expectation of an additional 5-6% above the fixed deposit (FD) rates. For example, currently, FD rates are 5-6%, I would expect 11-12% per annum from mutual funds.
Rating:
I seek to invest in funds that have five-star or four-star ratings. I keep track of the fund manager, performance and ratings every year. If the ratings go to three-star or below, I switch to other funds with five-star or four-star ratings.
Expense Ratio:
I seek to invest in funds that have a relatively low expense ratio within the fund category. You can earn 1.5% more via direct investment plans (no commission paid to brokers).
Risk Grade:
I seek to invest in funds that take fewer risks to generate good returns. I avoid funds that invest in low-quality business.
Turnover:
I seek to invest in funds with low turnover. The percentage of fund’s portfolio that is churned in the last one year. Lower the better.
Fund Manager:
I only invest in funds managed by good fund managers/investors. I look at the track record of the fund managers for at least 11 years to distinguish skill from luck. For example, Chandresh Nigam and Rajeev Thakkar are good fund managers.
