If your time horizon is 1 year then go for liquid funds or FDs. You can invest in arbitrage funds too.

This is not the right time to invest in lump sum aggressively. If you still want to do it, go for an actively managed flexi cap fund

Parag Parikh Arbitrage Fund - Direct Plan - Growth and
Parag Parikh Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Are two good options for debt mutual funds.

Equity mutual funds need a time horizon of 3-5 years. For one Year it is better to go for debt. Mostly Fixed Deposits, Bonds etc. IMHO: Just do a Fixed Deposit in your bank account or if you are looking for more returns try Stable Money for fixed deposits

Don't invest in MF, take that money and upskill or invest in yourself and 1 year is MF is nothing. You might lose money. Investments are always for long term and not short-term

Instead of lump sum, go for monthly SIP. This helps in averaging over market fluctuations.

If only one fund, go for index funds such as nifty 50 or bluechip funds. Less risk, stable growth.
