Top 5 Performing Funds For Short Term Investment (1 month - 5 Years)


If you’re investing for short term gain, typically within 1 month to 5 years, you must make sure that the fund you’re investing can give a higher return than fixed deposit rate, which averages around 3%.

You also have to understand also that the fund is very volatile, meaning it can go up and down easily, just like your heartbeat while running. This situation will put you at a higher risk of losing your money. If you’re caught in a bad situation, then better discuss with your financial advisor as to whether to continue investing or shift your money towards other funds. 

Once you understand the risks involved, then go ahead and invest in these funds, which gives a very good return over a short term period.
