I want to invest for a long term and I am also ready to bear the risk. I want to know whether I have selected the right funds? Should I continue with these funds or is there any correction required? Within a few months, I will increase my SIPs (Rs 2,000). Should I invest in the existing funds or pick new funds?

It is good to know that you are investing in direct plans. I would suggest you to not to add any more funds to your portfolio. However, please note that the correlation of the funds in your portfolio is very high. It is important that you bring it down.
You can do so by replacing HDFC Balanced Fund and SBI Magnum Multicap Fund with a gold fund and an international equity fund.
