Beginner here, need insights.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to start investing ₹5,000 per month in mutual funds through SIP. I’m a complete beginner with literally no idea on how to invest and looking for suggestions on how to allocate this amount. I’m aiming for 5 year growth.

I’ll also have an additional ₹5,000 per month to invest separately. How should I approach my investment for that amount. Would appreciate insights on asset allocation, risk management, and beginner mistakes to avoid.

Thanks in advance.
