The document discusses savings and investing through mutual funds. It states that savings should be invested to earn returns higher than inflation to preserve purchasing power for future expenses. Traditional savings options like bank deposits offer low risk but also low returns. Mutual funds allow investing small amounts and provide convenience, higher potential returns, tax benefits, and professional fund management to diversify risk. The document outlines how mutual funds work, their advantages over other investment options, and how investors can get started in mutual funds.

Saving through Mutual
Funds

2. 
 Generally Savings is taken as the residual money left after spending every
month.
 As per principal of Financial Planning Savings is the money you need to
spare every month for your future needs like Education of Child, Marriage
and other necessary or contingent expenses, for buying Home ,Car etc. so
that these expenses may not affect your financial health in future or we
can say savings is a provision for future expenses
 So the amount left after savings may be comfortably spent without any
worry about future expenses.
 It is said that your Salary provides you just Bread-n Butter but it is the
prudent investment of the small amount you save which creates wealth
for you.
What is Savings

3. 
 Generally savings is put in Banks FD,RD,in Government Schemes like
NSC, PPF, Bonds etc.
 LIC is also some time sold a savings product but practically it is Risk
Management product.
 Property require large capital with inherent risk.
 Gold is another product but after development of Capital Market ,it is
no more an investment product rather it is now a consumption
product.
 Equity market require lot of knowledge and timely action for sale –
Purchase, which is not possible for Active Earners.
How the Savings is
Invested

4. 
 The money you saved after sacrificing your expenses or
desire should be put in some Financial Product which
give you sufficient money at the time when future
expenses are to be done.
 So definitely it should give you a return which should be
more than the inflation or Cost escalation so that the
money saved may not fall short of the requirement at the
time when expenditure is to be done.
 If we leave the govt. declared inflation figure aside we
find that every time we go to the market we need to pay
high rates as compared to previous purchases.
What is investment

5. 
 It is a rule High Risk –High Return and Low risk Low
Return
 So, investment is done looking to the individuals risk
return expectation
 All the traditional products like FD /RD/Bonds/PPF fall
in the category Low Risk-Low Return.
 Return means net cash in hand not the rate mentioned on
instrument. The effective return on the traditional
instrument is always subjected to Income Tax and thus
our return happens to be lower depending on our Tax
slab rate i.e.10/20/30%
 The return on these instruments is dependent on RBI
Monetary policies
What is Return

6. 
 Liquidity refers to the ease and speed with which I
can convert my asset into cash.
 So ,in case you need funds and your investment does
not give you money in time of need How you will
feel ?
 All the traditional products are not liquid except
Bank FD where you can get money by paying some
charges (which will again reduce your return)
Liquidity

7. 
 Presently the Situation is very pathetic .
 Traditional Investments are not giving returns sufficient
to meet the increasing cost and instead of increasing your
Capital may practically reduce.
To invest in High Risk –High Return assets
is not possible for a common man as either he
do not have large amount of money or do not
have risk bearing capacity or do not have
Knowledge/Expertise/Time to invest and
manage Equity Shares.
