Why Retirement Planning

It is estimated that in 2050 the number of dependent adults in India will reach the number of dependent children for the first time, making retirement planning necessary.

To achieve your various life-stage goals and to maintain your desired lifestyle during your retirement years, you need to make prudent investments during your working years, putting your hard-earned money to work for you in your golden years. Retirement planning has been offered as a holistic solution in India aimed at enabling people to achieve their financial dreams both pre and post-retirement.

There are many reasons to why planning for retirement is important like any other goals:

Increase in life expectancy: Better healthcare and medical help is a prime reason why our generation will live longer. But, with advanced medical facilities, one needs to chalk out a proper plan to sustain the health expenses in the long run.
Pension Funds: The employer or government funded pension schemes are less likely to sustain the income needs post-retirement.
Change of social structures: Many retirees don’t prefer depending on their relatives or children for meeting post-retirement expenses. Maintaining independent lifestyle is sustainable only when backed with a financial cushion.
Desire to remain contributor: The want to contribute to the family by providing and supporting the kids or grand kids at milestones of their life remains even after retirement is inevitable.
Rest and relaxation: After fulfilling all your responsibilities, you may want to build a retirement corpus to go on holidays, to pursue a hobby etc.
Lack of social security system

Types of Investment Products

Life is full of tough choices. One of the toughest is how and where you should invest your hard-earned money, to have a comfortable retirement. To make the best decision, our team has a variety of investment products for our clients to choose from, some of these include:

Equities: When you purchase stocks in a company, you become a part owner of the business.
Mutual Funds: When you buy a mutual fund, you’re pooling your money with other investors to pay a fund manager who’ll select and manage a group of securities for you – typically a mix of stocks, bonds and other smaller investment vehicles.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETF): Like Mutual Funds, ETFs are a collection of securities like stocks and bonds. A key difference is that they trade like stocks on an exchange
Bonds: When you buy a bond, you’re essentially lending your money to an organization.
Senior Citizens Saving Scheme (SCSS): This is the safest investment option for senior citizens. You can gain an interest of 9.2% p.a with a maturity period of 5 years.
Reverse Mortgage: A financial agreement in which a homeowner relinquishes equity in their home in exchange for regular payments
Liquid Funds & Fixed Deposits: As senior citizens, you might need to put some amount aside as an emergency, alongside making sure that the amount earns decent returns.
New Pension Scheme (NPS):It is a voluntary, defined contribution retirement savings scheme.
