Unlike in the past, there are now so many types of financial products related to Savings, Investments, Insurance and Loans. For example, FD, RD, ETF, MF, AIF, NPS, ULIP, ULPP, REIT, SGB, IINSS are some of the types which in turn have so many products for you. Each of these products are rigorously designed by providers and duly approved by regulators. As such, there are no wrong products, no right products! It is up to you to understand them and select right products to fulfill your own needs. If you can’t select confidently, do consult a financial associate.

Gone are the years when your money matters were supposed to be confidential and personal to you. In these days of PAN/AADHAAR/FATCA links to all your transactions, it is practically not possible to maintain the privacy of your money matters. Hence, if you think your personal/family finances are not on right track, just make them open and consult a financial associate for a financial plan so as to keep your finances always on right track.

In India, it is our tradition that parents bear all the costs and conduct the weddings of their children as major family functions. However, due to rising costs, this tradition can cripple the finances of parents and push them into debts too. Hence, if you are a parent, do plan your finances now and start investing towards fulfilling this responsibility in future. The funds then will surely let you celebrate the occasion much more gracefully than otherwise.

In a growing economy, in addition to creation of new wealth, the old wealth also gets continuously transferred from Spenders to Investors, Old-Industrialists to New-Entrepreneurs and Inflation-Losers to Inflation-Beaters. That’s why most of the families of the Kings, Nawabs and Zamindars (of last century) have become middle/poor class families now. Hence, starting 2021, make sure that you are always on receiving side of this wealth transfer.
