Divide the sum to be invested in 20 parts. But an index fund with 1 part every month. In case the market falls by 10% anytime , invest 2 parts that month. Repeat the process until you're fully invested.
Your expected returns are around 9% per annum. Do a SIP on Nifty and next nifty index funds.. and you should be good
A1 correct
Need a bit more detail on whether the 5 year period is fixed to get that return or will you be ok to go +/2/3 years at the very least. If the answer is no and you can't risk things, go for a fixed deposit where you have certainly of return. Or if you want to take moderate risk, try a combination of 2 debt funds but know that there is risk involved there too (read about ilfs and Vodafone defaults). Equity is the most risky but then can provide most returns too. You can even possible earn 50% return within 2 years too who knows. But time risk is what you have at hand. What if the market crashes now and only recovers to your investment levels till year 5? What if you get to 20% return at year 2 end and market crashes and your investment becomes half at year 5?
If you are a long term Equity investor, then below plan would be the most desirable plan using MF.
Invest lump sum 10 Lakhs in HDFC ultra short term debt fund and set a monthly Switch STP (also cald SSTP) of 10000 (passive) OR 20000 (aggressive) to HDFC nifty index fund. This will ensure that your capital is protected and whenever the market crashes a higher amount of money is switching over to Equity from Debt.
Risk is mitigated to a great extent in the above plan and based on my calculation you should make around Rs 18L at the end of 5Yrs.
