Building a mutual fund portfolio is the starting point of a long journey towards achieving your financial well-being. DSIJ explains in detail the importance of reviewing your portfolio and more importantly the specifics you should keep in mind while reviewing your portfolio.

Nonetheless, making your portfolio is only the starting point and more arduous job of creating wealth and reaching your goals remains a long journey. Going for a financial plan is more like going for a vacation on your vehicle and hence you should keep a close eye on your dashboard that will help you to reach your destination safely.
Be it your vehicle or your health, everything needs a regular check-up and that is also true for your mutual fund investments.
