I am 22. I want to invest Rs 60,000 that I received as RD maturity amount. The portfolio should generate 12-15% per year over the next three years.
Rushabh Desai, AMFI registered mutual fund distributor replies: To earn double-digit annual returns, you will need to invest your corpus in equity mutual funds. Equity is a very volatile asset class and currently, the markets are at high levels. Thus your portfolio may not be able to earn 12-15% annual returns over the next three years. Double-digit returns can be achieved over the long run. As you are just 22, you can take the risk and hold your investments for a much longer time to earn double-digit returns. You could invest in the following equity mutual funds under the guidance of an adviser, with a minimum holding period of 10 years. Invest in equal proportions in Mirae Asset Focused, Invesco India Contra, Axis Midcap, DSP Small Cap and Motilal Oswal S&P 500 Index Fund. If you must invest for only three years, stick with high-quality bank deposits and debt mutual funds in the corporate bond and banking and PSU categories.
