No, this is not a gimmick but an actual deal that will change how your life feels. My cousin, Aarav, used to invest on random stocks, unused SIPs, and one dead-end crypto coin. When I forced him to see the reality, he followed my 5 investment strategies. In only 5 years, his investment corpus grew to ₹7.9 lakhs

Do not believe me? See for yourself!
 

These aren’t hacks, they’re habits. Though some of the strategies are outdated, we are going to discuss the better and more efficient top 5 investment strategies in detail in this blog.

1. Bonds

India’s 10‑year government bond yield stands at approximately 6.30% after the RBI’s 50 bps rate cut. ‘Kyun, lga na jhatka?! ’ For all the corporate investors out there, Q1 corporate bond issuance has hit ₹61,200 crore in May. It is nearly 3× year-over-year.

For example, Rohan invested ₹10 lakh in a 10-year Government Security (G-Sec), which is currently yielding around 6.28% annually. This investment earns him ₹62,800 per year in interest. ‘Humara corporate bond kisi se kum hai ke?’ To prove this point, let’s see Rohon’s finances in the table below:
 

2. Dividend Stocks

Stocks are not that scary. ‘Yu hi naam badnaam hai!’ You need to be informed of the assets you are investing in. PSUs like Chennai Petroleum offer yields up to 9.2-11%, while Coal India and Vedanta yield 6–9%. Imagine what would happen if you had invested in such stocks. 

For example, Meena acquired 5,000 Vedanta shares at ₹500. With a FY25 dividend yield of 12%, she gets ₹60,000 annually. The stock price rose to ₹540, giving a ₹40,000 gain. Total return was 20% from dividends + price gain. 

The table shows her investment journey. 
 

3. Equity Market

Equities represent ownership in companies and offer high growth potential over time. Indian stock indices like the Nifty and Sensex have grown 14% (approx.) in the last 6 months. This is because of supported by strong earnings.

For example, Vikram invested ₹3 lakh in a Nifty ETF. It rose to 8.6% (approx.) over the past 3 months. His YTD returns were 5.9%. His portfolio value is now ₹3.43 lakh, which is a ₹43k profit. Let’s get a brief overview of finances with the table given below:
 

4. Mutual Funds

Not sure where to invest? Let the experts do it for you. Mutual funds combine your money with others to create a bigger sum to invest. Investments are made in stocks or bonds by experts. If you invest in mutual fund SIPs, you have already built a solid investment plan for yourself. They are at an all-time high in India, ₹15,500 crore/month, and growing fast.

For example, Anil began a ₹10,000/month SIP in UTI Nifty 50 Index Fund in early this year. Over six months, it returned 6.0%. He has invested ₹60,000 and now holds ₹63,600. It might seem small, but once the investment period grows, he will see a growth in his gains as well.
 

5. Savings Accounts

No, I am not joking at this part. Your bank does offer higher interest (up to 8%) on your savings account. Aren’t they way better than traditional savings rates? It’s safe, liquid, and a great place to invest emergency cash.

For example, Deepali deposits ₹3 lakh in the Ujjivan SFB savings account in June 2025. It earns 7.5% interest, so she gets ₹22,500 annually. Doesn’t this remind you of an FD?

Here’s her finances in tabular format:
 

Conclusion

‘Gyaan toh le liya…. Thoda aur lelo!’ These five strategies aren’t overnight magic; you need to be consistent, smart, and work with real-time market trends. Start small but stay steady, and let your money work harder than you do, because it can!
