5000rs income with 1lakh , mutual funds
f you want to buy mutual funds when the market is down and sell when it’s up, the strategy should focus on timing the market, which can be risky but rewarding. Here’s how you can approach it:
1. Choosing the Right Mutual Fund
Since you aim to make ₹5,000 profit on ₹1,00,000 (which is 5% short-term gain), you need a fund that moves significantly in a short period. The best choices:
Best Mutual Fund Categories for Short-Term Buying & Selling
✅ Index Funds / ETFs (Nifty 50, Nifty Next 50)
✅ Mid-Cap & Small-Cap Mutual Funds (High volatility, high returns)
✅ Sectoral/Thematic Funds (IT, Pharma, Banking – move with market trends)
🔹 Recommended Funds for this Strategy:
- Nippon India Small Cap Fund (High volatility, quick recovery potential)
- SBI Nifty 50 ETF (Best for buying dips in the market)
- Kotak Emerging Equity Fund (Mid-cap, good for quick returns)
- ICICI Prudential Banking & Financial Services Fund (Cyclical, but high returns)
- Mirae Asset Large Cap Fund (Less risky, steady returns)
2. When to Buy? (Market Down Strategy)
- Look for a 5-10% dip in the fund’s value compared to recent highs.
- Track the Nifty 50 PE ratio (Buy when it’s below 20 for best value).
- Buy when there’s panic selling due to short-term news (war, inflation fears, elections, etc.).
- Use technical indicators like RSI < 40 (oversold) or 200-day moving average (DMA) support.
3. When to Sell? (Market Up Strategy)
- Set a target of 5-8% profit (₹5,000-₹8,000 on ₹1,00,000 investment).
- Sell when the Nifty 50 PE ratio is above 24 (indicates overvaluation).
- If the market jumps 10-15% in a short time, book profits.
- Use RSI > 70 (overbought zone) as a selling indicator.
4. Alternative Approach (Systematic Trading in Mutual Funds)
- If you don’t want to time the market manually, you can use Swing Trading SIPs:
- Buy ₹25,000 in 4 different funds at market dips.
- Sell the best performer once you hit 5-8% gain.
- Repeat the process to reinvest the sold amount in another dip.
5. Expected Outcome
📌 If you buy on a 5-10% market dip and sell after 5-8% gain, you can hit ₹5,000 profit in 1-3 months in the right market conditions.
