Where to park wedding fund

Hi folks! I'm planning to get married in over a year from now. I don't want to touch my portfolio for this and hence starting a wedding fund where I'd pause my investment for a year and route the money into this fund. Suggest an instrument class where I should park this money. It'd be roughly 70k/ month.

Also would love to know how did you finance your wedding? Any tips?

stablemoney is just an aggregator, your money stays with bank/nbfc, also most of FD are RBI insured upto 5L

Depends on in how many years you plan to marry. If >= 4 years, put most of your money in an index fund or else invest in ultra short term funds. Former will give you ~12% annual returns while the latter around 8-9%.

Invest 10% of your savings in gold, which can act as a hedge if gold prices shoot up and there is some jewellery shopping to be done close to the wedding time.

Liquid funds or a simple RD should work fine. I'm assuming your main aim here is preserving capital and not high growth.

Most banks are offering ~7.1% interest on RDs > 1yr.

You can park in my account without interest or return guarantee 😉
