Am I investing in the best mutual funds

You are really creating an investment era by contributing significantly to all sectors of investors, thus playing a vital role towards fulfilling dreams of masses. Kindly keep up the good work. As conveyed earlier, I am a retired Technical Director from Govt. of India Deptt. Just aged 53 Years. Took Voluntary Retirement with no standing liabilities. I have invested my retirement proceeds in Debt and Equity Sectors as per attached Excel File. I am investing Rs 1,50,000 annually in PPF also. My Aim is to grow them significantly via investing in High Quality Mutual Funds over a long period of time. I would request you to kindly go through the attached Excel sheet and suggest me :- 1. Do you suggest and recommend to exit any Mutual Fund and invest in some other Mutual Fund, 2. This is my hard earned money, so safety of the money with quality growth is my aim, 3. Presently investing around Rs 1 Lac via STP on monthly basis in Equity Mutual Fund. Started all Investments from Feb 2016 in Direct Growth Mode, 4. Liquid Funds hold amount for investment in Equity fund only for 2-3 Months STP. Whether I should keep on investing even by using my funds from Debt Fund as I have read in your posts that investment in equities should continue for atleast 5 years to reap benefits through significant capital appreciation. I feel if I continue STP for 5 Years, I will have to use amount of Debt Funds, doing so will result in zero balance in Debt Fund, 5. Any Change in Mutual Funds Schemes (Exiting / Entering like investment in Gold ETF etc), 6. If any Change in Mode or amount of STP is required may kindly also be conveyed, 7. Kindly go through the details furnished and suggest appropriate line of action along with Timelines to create huge capital appreciation. I am an aggressive investor?
