What is your favourite investment instrument and why?
People often ask me what my favourite investment product is—equity, mutual funds (MFs), portfolio management service (PMS), or something else. No instrument is good or bad. It’s only as good as its alignment with the person using it.
However, if I had to choose one vehicle that truly creates wealth for the long-term, it would be a well-constructed, diversified MF portfolio. Because it allows you to own high-quality businesses and helps you participate in the growth of India and the world, bringing discipline through systematic investment plans (SIPs). Most importantly, it provides a transparent, low-cost, and tax-efficient way to build wealth. More often than not, the real question is not what to invest in, but when.
Could you explain the importance of goal-based financial planning?
