How to smartly invest your lump sum money in mutual funds
Continue to invest in the schemes and review their performances once a year
I am 35 and have just started investing in mutual funds through SIPs in SBI Bluechip Equity, Birla Sunlife Top 100, Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip and BNP Paribas Mid Cap. I also have a lump sum investment in Axis Long Term Equity Tax Saver Fund as part of my tax savings this year. How is my fund selection?

You have invested in a good mix of equity schemes, however, the selection of funds is a bit aggressive. As you are a first time investor, knowing your risk taking abilities would have been good before investing in these schemes. You should continue to invest in these schemes and review their performances once a year to evaluate their progress to continue investing or to make any change to fund selection. This kind of portfolio will be good to maintain for a 5-7 year investment time frame.
