It seems we missed out replying to your query earlier which is apologised.

Glad that you like our posts and have started investing mutual funds. Needless to mention, Mutual Funds are the best way of creating long term wealth while beating the returns of other asset classes.

The funds selected by you are top performing from their respective categories.

However, as your investment horizon is 3 years and you want to buy a house after that, investing through SIP in an ELSS fund will not help you in that. Each ELSS SIP instalment will be locked in for 36 months and therefore, you will not be able to liquidate all the units after 36 month. Only the free units (meaning units which has completed 36 months of investments) can be redeemed.

Please do keep the above in mind and have an alternate plan accordingly.

You do not need to change any fund and your selection is absolutely fine as mentioned above.
