“Investment is a huge topic but it is the common man who always gets affected severely in terms of investments. We often tend to ignore matters like not considering tax payments rightly, not realising that the inflation risks are very high and more. We should hence always keep inflation issues in mind and make right investment, should protect our current purchasing powers  and view risk factors in the right perspective  that we often tend to ignore,” he felt and added “we should also review our investments every year which 80 percent of the Indians tend to miss upon always.”

Stating that it is good to invest in mutual investment in today’s market trend because they have diversification, he also said that it is good to save money and commit to oneself because an income minus savings is always equal to expenses.
