A few key things you might want to keep in mind
- Trust us, five years is nothing when you step into the investment world. So, it won’t be wise for you to invest in risky mutual funds if you’re going for short term investments. In such a case, it’s better to be on the safer side by sticking to dynamic allocation or hybrid funds.
- You can also try out multi-asset funds. If you have plans to invest in hybrid schemes, it’s best to determine your risk profile first. That will also help you decide what return to expect from such schemes. After being entirely sure about what you want, you can allocate your equity.

- If you’ve decided to invest in aggressive hybrid schemes, my friend, it’s very important to not get sentimental with home buying. We only suggest this scheme to those who have an investment horizon of at least five years and can extend it to 7 years. So, don’t be heartbroken if you need to drop the plan of home buying under any circumstances.
- If you decide to postpone it, you can also try investing in large-cap schemes if you can be active or passive.
What kind of returns can you expect?
Considering that the duration is small, we don’t want you to keep high expectations from returns. No, we aren’t saying you won’t get any, but remember that equity mutual funds only give double-digit returns when the duration is long. Expecting that within five years would be naïve.
So how much return can you expect? Well, you can expect something around 9-10 percent if you calculate your SIP amount.

Wrapping it up
Before you head to invest, we’d advise that you get help from an expert if you want to have an exact idea of your returns over a period of 5 years. Then you can decide how much investment will be good enough for you to achieve the future you’ve dreamt of.
