Assuming marriage in next 4-5 years.

Go for it. If you want to play it safe, you may split the amount with a large cap fund or Gold etf.
If you want to time the markets etfs are better than mfs. As Mf investments work on day end navs.

Markets are at all time high especially small & mid-caps MF's so it's a risky proposition (high volatility)...Invest in Index funds for now, wait for a market correction during the next year or so and then move the funds to small & mid-caps

It's always great to start sip as it brings down the hassle of timing the market but given small cap valuations are on all time high, one needs to be cautious and should actually look to diversify their portfolio into multi cap or multi asset

I will suggest considering unlisted stocks as an option. COmpanies like Boat, Bira, CSK, Studds, etc. When they get listed, we all run after these companies, its better to invest in unlisted companies, and make gigantic money by holding the investments for like 3-4 years.

Small cap funds are running at all time high valuations and it would be risk to invest all your money in those given 4-5 years of short horizon. Hybrid funds can be a better way to go about it in addition to some exposure to small funds given high risk tolerance.To better understand your goals and right portfolio please contact 'moneyvesta' for the best advice. They have the best advisors and experienced team to handle all your queries
