5. Why new methods needed
• The return which are getting from secured mode of
investments are not matching with inflation.
• For Example A fixed deposit made for Rs. 10,000/- today
become Rs.16000/- after 5 Years, whereas what we can
purchase today for 10,000/- required Rs. 20,000/- after 5
Years.
• The return is preety smart in the case of unsecured mode
of investment but the risk involved is very high and it may
happen that a person will loose the principal amount also
• Hence, to meet the inflation we require mixed kind of
portfolio which will reduce the risk and increase the return.

7. New Methods
• Investment in Mutual Fund via SIP
• Investment in Gold ETF through NSE
• Investment in Gold & Silver Units through NSEL.
• Investment in LIP

8. If you do not have time to learn analyzing
shares, invest in mutual funds through SIP

• Syatematic Investment Plans (SIP’s) are like a blessing for small
investors. People who do not have lot of fund can invest in
equity on monthly basis through SIP route. Systematic
Investment Plan allows small time investors to even invest
money as low as Rs. 1000/- per month. As on today diversified
equity fund SIP’s are the most popular among small investors.

conditions & other economic factor.

term.

emergencies.
