Please help and advise, in which fund and how many fund I will start SIP for 3 to 5 years for good return?

You have selected 14 funds, the number of which is too high for monthly SIP of Rs. 30,000.

Though you have selected good funds from balanced, large cap, diversified and mid & small cap category, we would suggest that instead of investing in so many categories, you can invest only in two categories - balanced and diversified. This is because balanced fund invest in large cap as well as small and midcaps. In fact it invest across all market cap stocks.

Also, instead of 14 funds, go for maximum 6 funds with investment of Rs. 5,000 each.

Since your fund selection is good, you may choose the 6 funds that you want to invest in from the list of 14 funds.

Hope the above helps. Thanks for writing to Advisorkhoj.
