Start with the fundamentals.

SIP investing: build a habit with a purpose

A SIP schedules regular investments, but regularity alone does not decide whether a fund is suitable.

Diversification goes beyond the number of funds

Several funds can own the same businesses or concentrate in the same market segment.

Why inflation changes your retirement target

Today’s monthly spending is a useful starting point, but it is not your future retirement budget.

SIP investing: build a habit with a purpose

A SIP schedules regular investments, but regularity alone does not decide whether a fund is suitable. Define a goal and its date before choosing the fund category. Review how much you can sustain through changes in income, rather than selecting an amount solely from an optimistic return assumption.

A fall in market prices can buy more units for the same contribution, but averaging does not remove market risk. Check liquidity needs and maintain a separate reserve for unexpected expenses. Use different return scenarios and review your progress periodically.

Diversification goes beyond the number of funds

Several funds can own the same businesses or concentrate in the same market segment. Review your underlying equity and debt allocation, rather than counting fund names. Look at overlap, concentration, costs and each investment’s role in the plan.

Frequent switches can create taxes and exit loads. Compare a proposed change with doing nothing, consider the original goal, and ask for the reason behind the change. A current portfolio statement is the starting point for that conversation.

Why inflation changes your retirement target

Today’s monthly spending is a useful starting point, but it is not your future retirement budget. Inflate that amount to your retirement date, then allow for further increases throughout retirement. Consider longevity as well as the return assumptions.

Constant-return models are a simplification. Early market losses during withdrawals, unexpected healthcare costs and changes in family needs can alter the outcome. Revisit the plan regularly and compare conservative scenarios before relying on a single number.
