A quick self-check. Nothing is saved.
0/5
Start with the basics. Investing works best once these are in place.
General education, not investment advice.
No tips
No F&O
No promised returns
Mutual funds only
Four principles behind every plan.
Most investing starts with “which fund should I buy?”. We think that is the last question, not the first.
Principle 1 of 4
Basics come first
01
Basics come first
An emergency fund, health insurance and term insurance come before any investing. Costly loans should be cleared first.
Priority, top to bottom
- 1Emergency fund
- 2Health insurance
- 3Term insurance
- 4Clear costly loans
- 5Investing
Fill each tier in order. Investing comes last, not first.
02
Goal first, fund later
Every rupee should have a purpose and a time frame. The fund is chosen after that.
Same saver, three goals
- 01
New car
In 2 years
Then the fundShort-term - 02
Down payment
In 5 years
Then the fundMedium-term - 03
Child's college
In 12 years
Then the fundLong-term
The question is not “which fund?” but “for what, and by when?”
03
No one can promise returns
Returns come from the market. Be careful of anyone who promises them.
How to tell the difference
Red flags
- “Guaranteed returns”
- “Fixed 3% every month”
- “Only for today”
- “Insider information”
Honest guidance
- Returns depend on markets
- Explains the risks plainly
- Asks about your goal first
- Shows all costs upfront
If someone promises a fixed return, treat it as a warning.
04
Patience beats perfection
Staying invested in the right mix for years matters more than finding the perfect fund.
