Short term investment plan

Short term investment plans are those investment options which have a maturity period of less than 1 year. They offer a handsome interest rate on a short amount of period.

Some good short term investment options-

1. Fixed deposit investments- Usually these investments have a maturity period of 3-5 years, but nowadays banks have started offering FD schemes for 6 months to 1 year. Return usually is 9%.
2. Liquid funds- These are mutual funds that can be converted into cash very easily. They offer interest rates between 4% to 10%.
3. Peer to peer lending- This is the most lucrative and productive short term investment. They offer a maturity period of 6 months and their interest rates go as high as 24%.
4. Fixed maturity plans- They carry a maturity period of 1 year and the interest rate in usually 9.5%.
