Hi everyone,
I’m working towards a personal financial goal with a target date of October 2030. The target amount is relatively modest—₹70,000—and I plan to achieve this through a monthly SIP of under ₹1500.
I’m currently unsure about how to structure the investment, particularly when it comes to choosing the right mix of debt-oriented funds.
Earlier (some three years back, for another personal goal which I achieved with flying colors), I had considered an allocation like this:
- 70% Corporate Bond Fund
- 20% Liquid Fund
- 10% Equity Hybrid Fund
However, I’m no longer confident about how effective or appropriate this strategy would be today.
In my recent research, I’ve come across a lot of discussion suggesting that 2026 might see a market correction. Because of this, I’m uncertain about how to proceed right now.
At the moment, I’m thinking of a more diversified approach, possibly allocating across:
- Corporate Bond Funds
- Short-term Debt Funds
- Gold ETF or FoF
- Index Fund
(with decreasing proportions in that order)
I’d really appreciate any suggestions or insights on how to structure this better, given the time horizon and goal.
Thanks in advance!
