What is investing? Why should I do it?

Investing is an important part of comprehensive financial planning, where you allocate your money into various growth assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, gold or real estate to generate returns over time. Through effective asset allocation, investing helps you balance risk and reward, ensuring your investment portfolio aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Regular investing enables you to build a solid foundation for major life goals like retirement, children’s education, children’s marriage, a dream vacation, or buying a home. Unlike saving, investing aims to grow your wealth by beating inflation (rising costs) and creating long-term financial security. Starting early with a well-planned investment strategy empowers you to achieve financial independence.
