Should I do a SIP in a mutual fund and invest a bit every month or invest all the money at one go? This is one of the most common questions that comes to the minds of investors, new or experienced.

The interest that you earn on your fixed deposit is taxable.

Why do you even need an emergency fund if you are doing most things right?

The mandatory lock-in can prove to be a boon for you as an investor learning to give your equity investments time. Your investment gets minimum 3 years of uninterrupted time to grow.

We are at that stage of our careers when we have a decent amount of experience behind us and no one consider us “newbs”. Our salaries start looking respectable for the most part but our responsibilities have also increased. A lot of us have families now and their future is tied to ours.

Very often, I come across peers and friends who equate investing in mutual funds to gambling at a casino or betting over a sports match.

Mutual funds are for everyone and more importantly for every need.

Equity is like your career, you can’t judge where you will be in 20 years based on just the first year of your job.
