To begin with, you say that your risk profile is aggressive. However, your mutual fund portfolio does not reflect your risk appetite. You are currently investing in three large cap schemes, two aggressive hybrid schemes, two multi cap schemes, a value fund. Aggressive hybrid scheme and large cap schemes are meant for conservative equity investors, whereas multi cap mutual fund schemes are meant for moderate risk-takers. Even value schemes are meant for investors who want to play it safe. You should consult a mutual fund advisor in your locality to get personalised advice to help you with your mutual fund portfolio. Work with the advisor and learn more about mutual funds and investing before handling your investments yourself.
