Edited excerpts: Q. What is the first step when it comes to portfolio creation? Always set a target and an EMF alpha target. For example, a 12% portfolio return target and a 3% equity MF alpha target above the Nifty 50. The next step is deciding on asset allocation. You must opt for asset classes that have a low correlation. Debt and Equity have a low correlation, and a combo of these two assets can help in targeting a return of around 12% based on your horizon of investment. EMF has delivered an average return of 12-13% over the long term, and Debt MFs have approximately delivered a 7% return. In the Debt portion, consider funds with a roll-down strategy or arbitrage funds. Gains from arbitrage are treated as equity gains, qualifying for a lower tax rate as compared to normal debt funds.
