Best mutual funds to invest Rs 8,000 per month

I earn around Rs 25,000 per month. I hardly spend Rs 15,000. So, I want to start a monthly investment of Rs 6,000 to Rs 8,000. Please suggest some mutual funds.

Before investing, you should know why you want to invest, what are your financial goals, and what is your investment horizon. The horizon will help you make the right asset allocation. If you want to invest for a long term, say, for over 5 years, you can invest in equity mutual funds via an SIP. As you are new to mutual funds, I will advise you to invest in aggressive hybrid funds that have a mandate to invest 65 to 80 per cent of the corpus in equity and the remaining in debt.
