5 simple financial resolutions for 2025
Portfolio Diversification
With the blistering rally in equity markets, most investor portfolios are likely titled towards equities. It is time to re-allocate money in line with your risk and investment objectives to navigate market volatility.
Disciplined Investing
To ensure investment discipline, rupee cost averaging, risk mitigation and sustained wealth creation, Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) are unmatched.
Build an Emergency Fund
Life is unexpected and uncertainties can extract a heavy financial toll. Having 6-12 months of family expenditures as liquid emergency funds to cover for these uncertainties is a must-have.
Reduction of Debt
For prudent personal finance management, it is important that debt as a % of income should be low. Further, it is important to ensure that debt is taken to acquire productive, income generating assets.
Risk Mitigation
Insurance is a key tool for individuals to manage and mitigate financial risks. Life Insurance helps to navigate unforeseen risk for your family and health insurance helps cover medical / hospitalization expenses. It is thus prudent to ensure that you have adequate Life and Health insurance coverage.
