Do you have a penchant for growth stocks and $5,000 burning a hole in your pocket?
If you've said yes to both, then it could be worth considering the buy rated ASX growth shares named below. Here's what you need to know about them:

Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)
The first ASX growth share that could be a top option for a $5,000 investment is Life360.
It operates in the digital consumer subscription services market, with a focus on products and services for digitally native families. The company's key product is the hugely popular Life360 app, which has 66 million active users, and offers families features such as communications, driver safety, and location sharing.
It also recently launched an advertising business which aims to monetise its massive audience.
Bell Potter has been very impressed with the company's stronger than expected performance in FY 2024. And with its new advertising business expected to boost revenues further, the broker believes its growth outlook looks very bright.
Its analysts currently have a buy rating and $20.50 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of 14% from current levels.
Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)
Another ASX growth share that could be a top option for a $5,000 investment is Megaport.
It is a leading global provider of elastic interconnection services, which has been growing at a rapid rate in recent years.
This growth is being underpinned by the ongoing shift to the cloud, which has been accelerating recently due to the artificial intelligence (AI) megatrend.
Macquarie believes this strong form can continue and is forecasting strong earnings growth over the coming years.
As a result, it recently put an outperform rating and $15.50 price target on Megaport's shares. This suggests that they could rise 40% over the next 12 months.
Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO)
A final ASX growth share that could be a good option for a $5,000 investment is Xero.
It is a cloud accounting platform provider with an estimated market opportunity of 100 million small to medium sized businesses. This compares favourably to its current subscriber base of 4.2 million.
The team at Goldman Sachs is very bullish on the company's future. So much so, its analysts still see plenty of upside for its shares despite their strong gains this year.
The broker currently has a buy rating and $180.00 price target on them. This implies potential upside of 28% for investors from where they trade today.
