Hello SIR,

Thanks for the suggestions made,
1) Will go ahead for multi-cap fund as advised
2) For 3 years Monthly Investment plan we are okay for HIGH RISK AND HIGH RETURNS
3) For lump-sum Investment – we are okay to go for 50% for High risk and High returns and 50% on standard growth (crux not to loose the principle / capItal )

Kindly advice

Hi, 1 - For short term goal , you may consider investing in a Hybrid Fund + Short Term Debt Fund.  Ex : HDFC Hybrid Equity Fund, Franklin Low Duration Fund etc., (Do note that Equity Hybrid Funds are risky but not may not be as risky as regular Equity Funds) 2 - For Lump sum, you may create an STP (Systematic Transfer Plan) for say next 2 to 3 years and remain invested for 5+ years. Ex : HDFC Liquid Fund -> STP -> HDFC Hybrid Equity Fund. Some portion of your lump sum amount can be invested in Bank FD, Secured & highly rated NCDs or Ultra Short Term Debt Fund.
