    Apps That Can Get You Started With Investments

    After you get out of college, you enter a world which forces you make rational decisions and reconsider your life choices. It is never too late to invest your hard-earned money somewhere you will get fruitful returns in the future.

    Why should you be investing in the first place? A proper investment allows you to grow your wealth and at the same time generate inflation-beating returns, often benefitting from the power of compounding. Investments also help you in meeting your financial goals, such as purchasing a house or building an emergency fund or accumulating it for post-retirement plans. 

    What I have learned and observed personally from investing is that it instils a sense of discipline over time. You develop a habit of saving a particular amount every month from your salary or business and putting it together for useful purposes. 

    How much should you be saving and investing?

    You can always invest for short-term goals or make a plan for your retirement. Most of us retire at the age of 60 which means that for the remainder of our lifetime, we will need a proper investment to fund our lifestyle. 

    Experts have suggested that you should be saving 20% of your income. You can automate 20% of your paycheck to go directly into the investment account. This might not be viable for everyone but is still the most favourable of all. 

    What are the different types of investments?

    You have several investment options available based on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. Some of the popular investment options include:

    Direct Equity: 

    It is commonly referred to as stock investment and is one of the most preferred investments for investors. You buy shares of the company depending on how the company is performing in the market. Stock trading can earn you possible attractive returns but also involves a lot of risks. 

    Mutual Funds

    A pool of money is collected from many investors who share a common investment objective. That money is invested in various instruments such as stocks, bonds, money market etc. Mutual funds are way more flexible as you can start or stop investing as per your wish with much lower risks than equity. 

    Public Provident Fund

    PPF is a government-backed saving scheme that aims to mobilise small savings and provide secure post-retirement life. It has a lock-in period of 15 years and that time frame itself makes you save a lot of money. 

    Fixed Deposits

    Fixed Deposits are regarded as an ideal investment for conservative investors as they provide a fixed and guaranteed rate of returns.

    Apps that help you in investments
