To achieve your goal of creating a corpus of Rs 3-4 Crores in the next 15 years, it is advisable to build a diversified equity-oriented portfolio. You can continue with your current monthly SIP investment of Rs 60,000 (assuming a 12% CAGR) for the next 15 years. Additionally, allocate any incremental savings to equity-oriented mutual fund schemes through SIPs to expedite reaching your target.
 
Taking advantage of sharp market dips to top up your SIPs can also accelerate achieving your financial goal. To ensure diversification, you can divide your monthly SIP amount equally among the following funds:
 

• Kotak Multi Cap Fund
• Nippon India Multi Cap Fund
• HDFC Mid Cap Opportunities Fund
• Nippon India Growth Fund
• HDFC Flexi Cap Fund
• Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund
• Nippon India Small Cap Fund
• ICICI Prudential Bluechip Fund
• Motilal Oswal Large & Mid Cap Fund
• Bandhan Core Equity Fund

 
This strategy will diversify your portfolio across various categories and Asset Management Companies (AMCs), helping to mitigate risk and potentially enhancing returns.
