Subhash Chawan, Financial Planner, Moat Wealth Advisorz, responds:

Your portfolio has 100 per cent equity funds and is inclined more towards mid and smallcap funds. This makes it an aggressive portfolio and can take a hit in a falling market.
I would recommend you to construct a portfolio that has 70-80 per cent equity funds and 20-30 per cent debt funds so that in a falling market your portfolio doesn’t fall drastically. You can also rebalance your portfolio by switching from debt to equity funds in lower market to average out your buying. You should add a balanced fund like DSP BlackRock Balanced Fund or HDFC Balanced Fund and stop SIP in one of the midcap funds.
