You said that “…will probably change the approach” so I think it’s too soon for me to comment/evaluate something. Plus, you seem to have just started so I don’t want to be critical.
From a broader perspective, I can suggest the following:
1. Luck and Skill are two different things
There has to be a rationale for the decisions you make. I am not able to find a rationale in your allocation or investment choices. Casual decision-making leads to casual outcomes. If it’s a casual choice, then you need to be ready to live with the consequences when things go wrong.
2. Past performance does NOT guarantee future performance.
I do not track Invesco so do not what’s going on there. Your expectation about linear returns tells me that you need more time in the markets before I can advise. A few years back, a large bank that seemed to give consistent returns for years has been now going through a price correction.
3. Safe assets are NOT for return maximizing.
Maximizing returns will bring risks. I used to try to maximize returns on debt investments and was lucky to learn early why not to do it. Perhaps, you will have your own lessons.
Try understanding the Franklin saga and why Investors got locked in the popular fund.
4. Choosing your teachers
This again is quite concerning. Not talking about the quality of their advice but the advice-seeking process. In general, you need to choose people whom you want to learn from.
5. Portfolio Construction
When I said “3k can’t be considered as a part of the PF”, I meant that I would consider its value to essentially become zero. It might never reach there but there are reasons why I would consider to be 0. You can read about “portfolio construction”.
6. Maths.
The numbers don’t add up. From 1cr to 5cr is 5x in 5 years. That too, when you’re starting with 55% of investments in safe investments.
Given your age, your income might increase with time but then it’s generic information since I do not know the growth trajectory (for example: how much % increment, frequency of increment etc).
Plus, you’ll need to consider the fact that your expenses will likely increase. Also, there can be unpredictable circumstances – say health emergencies. Think of people dependent upon you. There’s a lot more to this. Once again, I think you should read about “portfolio construction”.
If I have to review your approach currently, I would say there are several shortcomings. But I do believe that it doesn’t matter where one starts from as long as we end up right. Further, sometimes we need to burn our hands to understand fire. As long as one keeps on introspecting and working on themselves, one gets there.
