It’s imperative to ensure that we do make sensible returns out of our savings and do not lose our capital.
This session gave insights on the channels available for people to invest their savings and how the planning of investment is crucial rather than the choice of investments. There is a need to understand the trade-off between risk, return and liquidity while investing. It was also captured that capital generation is more important than earning short term returns. One of the takeaways from the session – “The best time to invest was 20 years back. The second best is now.”
