All the five schemes in your SIP portfolio have managed to deliver higher risk-adjusted returns than their respective benchmarks and categories, over the long term.

We have attempted to calculate the composition of your investment in these five schemes.

The remaining 10 per cent is kept as cash equivalents.

Further, your investment has been spread among 176 stocks; the top holdings are: HDFC Bank (6.1 per cent), ICICI Bank (5.5 per cent), Infosys (4.8 per cent), SBI (4.3 per cent) and NTPC (3.3 per cent).

ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund follows a value-investing approach with a large-cap mandate , a good choice, especially in equity market downturns. The fund has not put up a good show in the past few years. Value- investing needs to be given time to bear fruit.

The current market-cap allocation of your investments, as stated in the beginning, suits investors with medium-to-high risk profile.

If you are an investor with a high-risk profile, the allocation to mid-caps and small-caps may not be sufficient. You can start an SIP in Kotak Emerging Equity Fund, which is one of the top-performing funds in the mid-cap category. It allocates 65 per cent and 17 per cent of its corpus to mid- and small-cap stocks, respectively. It has been rated four-star by BusinessLine Portfolio Star Track Mutual Fund Rating .
