How a password can help create wealth

How a Password Changed my Life ...Inspired from a true story from the Reader’s Digest ... I was having an average  morning until I sat down in front of my office computer "your password has expired”, a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it... In my company we have to change passwords monthly..I was deeply depressed after my recent breakup. Disbelief over what she had done to me was what I thought all day long .... I remembered a tip I’d heard from my former boss. He’d said, “I’m going to use a password that is going to change my life”. I couldn’t focus on getting things done in my current mood.. My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password – Forgive@her.  I had to type this password several times every day, each time my computer would lock. Each time I came back from lunch I wrote forgive her.  The simple action changed the way I looked

Debt Funds vs FD returns

 Do not look at past 1/2/3/5 year returns of debt MFs and compare with current FD rates.  If you have to compare, then compare what was the FD rate 1/2/3/5 years back. That is what you have got and then only compare past performance of Debt MFs. But better way is to look at current FD rates of 1/2/3/5 year period and compare YTM of the Debt MFs of the similar time period.  This picture is for funds of Kotak MF. Debt Funds from Other MFs have almost similar YTM.  In addition to this you will get additional benefits by investing in Debt MFs.  - Debt MFs’ YTM is higher then most FDs. - Diversification. - Compounding (FD have coupon but do not compounds effectively)  - Tax Efficiency  - Holding Period Return. - No leakages (Interest received by the debt MF get invested immediately unlike interest received by the investors) Save this message. Over next 3/5 years and even for longer tenure, Debt MFs have high probability to outperform most FDs. Source: Vijai Mantri

How Much Returns will I get?

A new investor recently met me and asked, "how much returns he will get if he invests a certain amount of money in mutual funds". I told him it depends on him, not me. And he was quite amused as he thought I should know because I am the person who will suggest to him the right investment products which can yield good returns. I explained to him that the investment world is dynamic and things change from time to time. Sometimes, there is euphoria in the marketplace, and yet there are times when everything seems to be going down. If you follow asset allocation, and stay disciplined in your investment journey you can expect a better return. However, if you get excited or panic with every news (good or bad), it could affect the portfolio negatively. The right product does matter but it is the investor behavior that is the key to investment returns. Finally, I told him, "Mileage depends on the driver, not just the car. The smoother you drive, the higher the mileage would be.&
