DID YOU KNOW
An average Indian investor invests roughly 85% of his investments into fixed deposit instruments which give him only 6-10% returns
An average Equity Mutual Fund investment has given 22% tax-free return for the last 10 years while Fixed Deposits has give only 8-10% during the tenure
World over smart people only buy Term insurance to protect themselves against any risk but in India most people end up buying endowment / ULIP plans and hence pay huge premiums yet remain underinsured.
As per the latest RBI report (2009-10), an average Indian saves approximately Rs 32 out of Rs 100 which is one of the highest in the world and we are really proud of this distinction. However, when it comes to investing the same money at the right place, unfortunately we are far behind and is a cause for concern. Around 70% of the household money is lying in Bank deposits, Post Office schemes or low yielding insurance policies, earning a paltry post-tax return. Less than 3% of the household investment is channelized into the capital market instruments which is clearly a long term viable investment vehicle. This clearly demonstrates that ‘India is a nation of Savers but not Investors” and the root cause for this problem is the lack of Financial Literacy.
Financial Literacy refers to the “ability to make informed judgments and to take effective decisions regarding the use and management of money”. Financial education or financial literacy has assumed greater importance in the recent years, as financial markets have become increasingly complex and there is also an information asymmetry leading to making informed choices more and more difficult for the common person.
When we started Kesari Financial Services our endeavour was to empower individuals in making smart u0026amp; informed financial decisions. KFS organises professional workshops for employees of large corporates, Small u0026amp; Medium Enterprises (SMEs), NGOs, B-Schools u0026amp; Colleges, Housing societies, professional bodies and individuals.
