Eyes on financial independence

Investing every month will help you secure a financially safe future. But the initial steps can often be the hardest. Here’s a guide to help you begin your investing journey:

Know your investment horizon

The number of years you are ready to stay invested in is crucial to deciding where to invest. You have to figure out if you are investing for long-term or short-term goals.

Invest in equity for long-term goals 

For goals that are at least five years away, equities are ideal as they offer inflation-adjusted returns. Long term goals can be buying a house or funding education.

Where to start in equities?

New to equities? Start with aggressive hybrid equity mutual funds. They offer a mix of equity and fixed income. The presence of debt cushions your money against steep market drops.

Investing for short-to-medium-term goals
