A financial plan
for everyone
Among the many necessities of
modern life, one necessity that
is largely overlooked is financial
planning. Among the many
reasons cited for not planning
our financial course are a lack
of time, lack of know-how, lack
of money, lack of interest and so
on. The tragedy with financial
planning is the more you delay
doing it, the more difficult it will
be to realise your goals.
Similarly, the earlier you start,
the better it is.
On the Value Research
website, we have readymade
financial plans for everyone –
no matter whatever the stage of
life. Though you will need to
make provisions as per your
situation, the basic pillars on
which a financial plan stands
remain unchanged. These plans

What the above data tells you is that if you
are choosing between different types of debt
funds, matching the type of fund to your risk

Financial textbooks often tell us that to bump
up returns from any investment, you need to
become a little bolder and take on more risk
with your investment. That argument is often
made for debt funds, too.
Fund houses and advisors often tell investors
that they can earn quite a bit extra on their debt
funds if they invest in the riskier fund
categories. So, if you can take on a bit of credit

But there are two good counters to that. For funds. Based on their recent disclosures, the

wish to check the data for the same, visit our website for complete details on them.
