Balancing the scales for women with mutual fund solutions and the right mix of investments

The recently concluded Investor Awareness Programme conducted by Mirae Asset Mutual Fund in association with Mint, showed how women could learn the basics and build financial confidence by navigating the world of stocks, mutual funds and asset allocation

It was a hot Friday morning. Priya, a successful startup entrepreneur, was sitting in her office tapping into her phone. Her business had been thriving. But when it came to her personal finances, she felt she lacked depth. "I know I must invest. But I don't even know where to start," she thought. She felt overwhelmed by the complicated world of stocks, mutual funds and asset allocation.

Priya's story is not unique. While women excel in their careers, many still feel left out of finance and investing. Sometimes, it's because of a lack of knowledge. Other times, the complexity of financial markets or the fear of making mistakes hold them back. But things are changing. This is where Mirae Asset Mutual Fund steps in. They help women cut through the confusion, learn the basics and build financial confidence.

The recently concluded Investor Awareness Programme conducted by Mirae Asset Mutual Fund in association with Mint sparked an important conversation about financial literacy and independence.

PRACTICAL TIPS ON SMART INVESTING

Makhdoom Ansari, national head of retail sales & NDs at Mirae Asset Mutual Fund, kicked off the event with an insightful session. His talk, Balancing the Scales, focused on asset allocation. He explained how diversifying across equities, debt and other asset classes can manage risk and maximize returns. Sharing a personal story he said, "In my initial days, I bought my first vehicle with my mother's savings. It's the women in our families whose savings save us in difficult times."
