Normally you will get the following formula when you search for How to achieve your financial goals?
Follow a 3step process and get closer towards your goal: -
(1) Assess Your Risk Profile
(2) Choose A Goal
(3) Invest
If we turn our big dreams into smaller goals, we can achieve them!
And, in case of financial goals, we can reach there even faster by making the right kind of investments.
Well, for goals that are at least 5 years away, you should be investing in Equity Mutual Funds. While there are a lot of fund categories, you can stick to large cap funds or multi cap funds.
For goals you want to achieve in 1-3 years, the focus should be on capital preservation with some growth and for that debt mutual funds are ideal. If you don’t want to take too much risk, stick to low-risk liquid funds or ultra-short duration funds in the category.
And lastly, for your medium-term goals, things you want to achieve in 3-5 years, you can go for Aggressive Hybrid Funds. They combine the best of both equity and debt into one fund. So, while you get growth, there is some cushion too in the form of debt.

Being a parent is a great feeling and a responsible life stage.
You can see the sparkle of hope and affection in the little one’s eyes and this is one of life’s rare events that can bring so much excitement at home.
Unfortunately, we live in a world riddled with uncertainties.
Every parent wants a safe and secure future for their children even in their absence. The main reason why you should invest in a ‘specialized child education’ plan is because they come with a life cover which many other financial instruments do not offer.
The insurance element in these plans not only secures your child’s future, but also their present.
These plans ensure that the family gets the life cover paid to meet immediate expenses in case of the policy proposer’s death.
Life Insurance is a combination of caring, commitment and common sense.

In India most of us do not have formal Pension plans or policies offered through social security net.
It is a purview of only certain privy Government employees or employees of large corporate houses. These are very few examples considering the large population of our country.
We all are income generating machines till our retirement age or till certain health emergencies. When we are at the peak of our career, we must focus on generating an alternate/ additional source of income through our savings and investments. The early we take this decision, the better is the wealth generated and higher is the income expected from such corpus.
The advances in medical science have increased the life expectancy of people. Hence, as we live longer, we will need more money for their medical as well as day to day expenses.
These expenses that we need must be covered by the income that we earn passively from our investments.
Think long term. Think for additional income though your investments. We are here to help!

The investment world has two major camps when it comes to the ways to invest money: active investing and passive investing.
Both styles have merit, as long as you focus on the long term and aren't just looking for short-term gains.
But your lifestyle, budget, risk tolerance, and interests might give you a preference for one type.
Active investing means taking time to research investments yourself and constructing and maintaining your portfolio on your own. To successfully be an active investor, you'll need three things:
Time; Knowledge and Desire
On the other hand, passive investing is the equivalent of putting an airplane on autopilot versus flying it manually. You'll still get good results over the long run, and the effort required is far less.
In a nutshell, passive investing involves putting your money to work in investment vehicles where someone else is doing the hard work -- mutual fund investing is an example of this strategy.
Advantages of Passive investing: - Simplicity, Stability, Predictability, Hands-off approach, Moderate returns, Tax advantage.

The concept of retirement planning is fast changing.
Forget the days where people work up to the age of 58/60, gets a decent pension/ PF/ Gratuity and lives rest of his life on this income. This was possible because of assured returns and relatively low inflation. Current situations are volatile and we can witness a lot of changes. Similarly, our retirement planning methodologies are changing.
Most of us keep postponing ‘retirement planning’ till the advanced age of 40 - 45. This is the biggest mistake in retirement planning.
In today`s scenario, Lot of employees, due to high work pressure and related stress, want to retire by the age of 50/55. Work - life balance is an issue for most of the corporate employees.
But can you take the risk of early retirement? Can I manage the finances? Most of the people do not know how much money is enough to retire at 45 or 50 in India?

“Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing”, Warren Buffet.
Identify your risk appetite i.e., the degree to which you are comfortable with a fall in the value of your investments. If you can digest, say a 20% fall in the value of investments, you are a high-risk seeker. Else, categorise yourself as a risk-averse investor.
Once you identify your goals and risk appetite, you can conveniently select the investment plan or strategy. An investor with higher risk appetite, may go for a diversified equity fund. Conversely, a risk-averse short-term investor may go to a liquid fund or a balanced fund.
Once you have built your investment portfolio, you must observe, monitor and rebalance it periodically to keep the portfolio’s risk within expected limits due to market fluctuations. You can do it once in every three or six months.
Optimise your returns while staying invested for long term objectives.
