We focus on the study of ground-states for the system of $M$ coupled semilinear Schr\"odinger equations with power-type nonlinearities and couplings. We extend the characterization result from a previous work (arXiv:1410.7993) to the case where both attraction and repulsion are present and cannot be studied separately. Furthermore, we derive some perturbation and classification results to study the general system where components may be out of phase. In particular, we present several conditions to the existence of nontrivial ground-states.
