Arun Kumar Das: I am 49 years old male and working in PSU. I am an old investor investing in MFs since 2011 and I am a moderate risk taker. Till May 2020 I was investing through monthly SIP of Rs. 6000/- in ABSL Frontline Equity Fund which I stopped as it was performing badly since long, accumulated Rs. 1,28,000/- and holding that amount till date. From June 2020 I have started monthly SIPs in the following Mutual Funds:-

1) SBI Equity Hybrid Fund: Rs. 5000/- which I am investing for 4 to 5 years for my daughter's education, currently she is in 8th standard. After 4 to 5 years I have planned to switch to SBI Focused Equity.

2) Axis Bluechip Fund: Rs. 3000/-

3) Kotak Standard Multicap Fund: Rs. 2000/-

4) Motilal Oswal NASDAC 100 FOF: Rs. 1000/-

Every year I am going to increase the SIP amount by minimum 10%. My retirement is after 11 years (July 2031). I am going to invest in above mentioned funds for 10 years.

I would like to know how is my portfolio (does it need any changes) and how much retirement corpus I am going to make after 10 years?
