daughter education after 10 years. The funds required would be Rs. 15 lakhs at then
costs. He wants to invest monthly for the goal. Being his financial planner, you suggest
an asset allocation strategy where he should invest monthly on equity and debt in
ratio 70:30 for 8 years. And shift the entire accumulated amount in these funds after
the aforesaid period in liquid funds. If the returns expected from equity, debt and
liquid funds in these period are 11.25%, 9% and 6 % per annum respectively. What
approximate amount per month required to be allocated to equity and debt?

Rs. 18603, Rs. 19210
Ans. B
SOLUTION:
Funds to be accumulated after 10 years: Rs. 1500000
Suppose the monthly investment made: Rs. 100
Ratio (70:30) = Rs. 70 and Rs. 30 respectively

Required cumulative investment per month = Rs. 9003.8525
(15,00,000*100/16659.5354)
Investment in equity month as per ratio (70:30) = Rs. 6303
Investment in debt month = Rs. 2701
2) Mr. A started investing Rs. 15000 per month a year ago in the asset allocation of 65:35
in equity and debt to achieve a goal in 7 years from now by accumulating Rs. 12 lakhs.
You realize that he would be requiring Rs. 15 lakhs for the same goal. You expect
equity and debt to give returns of 11% and 9 % per annum respectively in the entire
period of investment. You assess changing asset allocation to 30:70 in equity and debt
by investing Rs. 2500 additional per month to see how closer he can reach to his goal.
