I have investment in lic, nps, NSC and ppf. No other investments. I want to start with mutual funds. What is the best option for me? Should I open account in zerodha? What should my investment options be?

Lic is not an investment

I realised this too late :(

Either you can open account with new age fintech apps or can invest in mutual fund through your bank account

However most important is... how to invest...i would suggest choose SIP mode of investment..spread it across 4/5 funds depending upon your risk profile and continue investing for atleast 5 yrs to see good results.....

Hi, Open in Angle one that's better than Zerodha or Groww

You need to learn to create a diversified, yet comprehensive portfolio, based on your age and risk appetite

I’m considering building up my I bonds to eventually replace my 6 month expenses emergency savings account. Any downsides I’m not considering? If I slowly ramp up and ladder, I can partially withdraw any amount if I need to after a year. Even with lower inflation in the future, I’m guessing it’s going to beat a savings account yield. Thoughts?

We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Hi All. What is the best way to allocate 25 Lakh INR in savings into different investments to maximize returns. I recently moved out of India so Tax rebate is not a consideration for me. I already have 6 lakh plus invested in PF and MFs but I want to invest more as my money is getting depreciated in the savings bank account.

I also have an education loan with balance of 7 lakhs which I am planning to repay in lumpsum as there is no tax exemption now.
