Maximize your Investments Returns

 

Making money is not enough if you have no idea how to invest it wisely. A smart man always makes sure to be fully prepared for future financial needs and at every step and finds out a way to double his hard earned money. However, the biggest mystery is how and where to invest? Your financial planning will only be successful if you have bit of knowledge about investment planning options. So, if you are seeking some advice to get the best returns on your investment, your search ends here.

Before exploring the options available in the market for financial planning, let's talk about the types of investment plans. Basically, these are of two types-

  1. ULIP (Unit Linked Investment Planning) – Here, your premium is invested in various kinds of funds such as stocks, shares, etc and you receive money on the basis of the performance of these funds. Thus, it is volatile in nature.
  2. Traditional Investment- It ensures you receive the promised return amount after the maturity and thus is a low-risk investment plan.

Options Available For Financial Planning

  • Child Plan– When it comes to planning for a stable future, people should never ignore child insurance. This plan is one of the best investments to ensure that your child's needs (education, wedding etc) can be fulfilled.
  • Retirement Plan– You earn all your life in a hope to enjoy your later years in peace and joy. But, how's that possible if you have no money? Thus, investing for your retirement can give you benefits and a strong financial support to rely on.
  • Guaranteed Return Plan– In the market, there are many plans that give you guaranteed return after specified period. It is best for people who can't afford to take high risk and want a stable source of income.
  • High Potential Plan– If you have money and love to live on the edge, this investment plan is the one for you. It is volatile in nature and gives a scope of high return, but only if you are ready to take risks. Here, your premiums are invested in funds and the return depends on the performance of the funds.

Beside these, one can also invest in gold or fixed deposit in bank. These investments can be short-term as well as long-term depending how exactly a person invests.

Risk Involved in Investment Plans

Investment also brings risk along with it. If you invest, be sure, you might have to face some trouble. Few of these risks are as follows-

  • Unstable market- One can never predict the future. Thus, if the market will go down so will your investment with high chance of you losing your money.
  • Inflation- Sometimes due to inflation you might not get as much return as you expected. If the inflation rises the value of currency decreases.
  • No benefit if policy collapse- If the policy collapse before the maturity period, you might not get any returns and might face loss.

How to Select the Investment Plan?

There are so many investment plans available in the market such that it becomes difficult to choose which one is right for you. Every plan has its own pros and cons and will suit people depending on their requirements. So before you select any plan, ask these questions-

  • What are your final goals? Do you want to invest for your post retirement days or you want to secure for your child or simply want to double your money?
  • Do you want to invest for short-term or for long-term? If you have short term goals go for term plans and if your requirement is for a long period, then go for 10-30 year plans.
  • How much risk you can afford? If you have money or are young, go for ULIP plans as they give high-return, but being volatile in nature also involves high risk. Similarly, if you are old or financially weak, go for conventional plans as low-risk is involved with stable return.

Anybody can invest, but what makes a successful investor different from the not so successful one is how wisely he/she invests. Investment is a long term aspect and careful considerations should be made before choosing nay mode of investment as it will have a direct effect on your finances.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

Mutual Fund MIPs can give better returns than Post Office MIS

Post Office MIS vs  Mutual Fund MIPs   Post office Monthly Income Scheme has for long been a favourite with investors who want regular monthly income from their investments. They offer risk free 8.5% returns and are especially preferred by conservative investors, like retirees who need regular monthly income from their investments. However, top performing mutual fund monthly income plans (MIPs) have beaten Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (MIS), in terms of annualized returns over the last 5 years, by investing a small part of the corpus in equities which can give higher returns than fixed income investments. The value proposition of the mutual fund aggressive MIPs is that, the interest from debt investment is supplemented by an additional boost to equity returns. Please see the chart below for five year annualized returns from Post office MIS and top performing mutual fund MIPs, monthly d...

NRI Corner: The process of remittances abroad

The process of remittances abroad, and back, is cumbersome. Here’s how you can wade through without hassles Approach The Right Place Outward remittances or the process of sending money abroad is governed by many regulations. In India, outward remittances are made mainly through banks. At the outset, you need to remember that you just cannot trust any individual or a financial firm with the responsibility of sending your money. Experts recommend that you should always try to choose a bank with an international footprint, which will make your job easier. Choose Mode Of Transfer The next step is to choose the mode of transfer. One option is to get a Foreign Currency Demand Draft ( FCDD ). This draft will be denominated in foreign currency and should be drawn in favour of the recipient/ beneficiary. The beneficiary does not necessarily need to have an account with the same bank. The other option is to send money via wire transfer. Do not be puzzled if the bank official uses the word SWIFT ...

Zero Coupon Bonds or discount bond or deep discount bond

A ZERO-COUPON bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond ) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.   There is no coupon or interim payments, hence the term zero-coupon bond. Investors earn return from the compounded interest all paid at maturity plus the difference between the discounted price of the bond and its par (or redemption) value. In contrast, an investor who has a regular bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Zero-coupon bonds may be long or short-term investments.   Long term zero coupon maturity dates typically start at 10 years. The bonds can be held until maturity or sold on secondary bond markets.
