Not just that, she should also check if she requires to undergo training or appear for certification exams to fulfill the requirements set by the country in order for her to be able to practice Orthodontics. The prerequisites for visa should also be taken into account by your daughter. Lastly, I would like to say that it can be an excellent decision to send your daughter overseas for better future possibilities.

Ans: Hello Yadav,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am pleased to hear that your daughter has completed her MBBS from Ukraine. Concerning your query as to whether it is okay to send your daughter abroad, I would like to tell you that although it can be a wise decision and an excellent chance to send her to another country to either pursue further education or to start her profession, this decision should be well thought of. Next, to decide as to which country would be ideal, I would like to say that your daughter’s preferred field of study, her professional ambitions, the cost, as well as the linguistic preferences, play a prominent role in deciding this. On completing an MBBS degree, Canada, Australia, the USA, the UK, as well as several European nations are among the sought-after locations to pursue higher education.

The tuition fees, housing costs, costs of living, and other associated expenditures are all included in the cost to study overseas. Your daughter should take into account these costs. However, remember that based on the country your daughter decides to study in and her preferred university or course, these costs can differ. Moreover, to reduce the cost of studying abroad, a number of scholarships and possibilities for monetary assistance are available that your daughter should consider. I would recommend that your daughter conducts an extensive study on the universities and programs in the countries of her choosing, whilst taking into account the educational standards, employment prospects post graduation, as well as the immigration guidelines, prior to making an informed choice. Moreover, to receive useful advice based on your daughter's personal circumstances and goals, she should get in touch with academic advisors or career counselors.

Good morning sir, my daughter is in btech. ECE final semister, can I send for ms in abroad, or any job related courses in India, my daughter also not much intrested to go abroad. Kindly suggest better way.
Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that your daughter is pursuing the final semester of her Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication Engineering. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that we only deal with overseas education. Yes, you can definitely send your daughter abroad to pursue her Master's. I would like to tell you that owing to their renowned universities, top-notch education, and vast array of opportunities, a number of countries are well-known for pursuing Master of Science (MS) degrees abroad. With its vast array of top-tier universities and research centres, the USA continues to be a sought-after destination for pursuing MS programs spanning different disciplines. Likewise, a number of international students are also drawn to countries viz., the UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Switzerland owing to their cutting-edge academic programs, culturally diverse settings, and significant focus on innovation and research. You would be glad to know that MS students are offered distinct advantages and opportunities in these countries, in turn, making them highly popular destinations for individuals looking for further education overseas.

As mentioned by you, if your daughter is not interested in pursuing a Master's abroad, I would suggest that she looks into other possibilities that best resonate with her interests and professional objectives. Post finishing her Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) degree, she could think about acquiring professional experience via internships or entry-level work in her field of interest. Gaining this practical experience can prove beneficial for her career growth and may help her determine her professional path. In order to improve her abilities and credentials without committing to a full-time Master's program overseas, she could also look into advanced certifications or specialized courses. Lastly, I would suggest that you motivate your daughter to investigate these possibilities and assist her in discovering her true calling, which in turn, could result in a gratifying and prosperous professional path.

Hello Sir, I am looking at imvesting around Rs.20,000 per month in SIP with good returns and overall balanced portfolio along with some us stock exposure (Parag Parikh kind of funds). Please provide your valuable suggest in which mutual funds should I invest or is ETF better option
Ans: When considering your investment strategy, actively managed funds can offer distinct advantages over ETFs. Actively managed funds are overseen by professional fund managers who actively research and select investments they believe will outperform the market. This active management can potentially lead to higher returns compared to passively managed ETFs.

Furthermore, actively managed funds have the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions and exploit emerging opportunities. Fund managers can adjust their portfolios in response to market trends, economic indicators, and company-specific developments, aiming to optimize returns while managing risk.

On the other hand, ETFs, while offering low expense ratios and broad market exposure, often deliver only mediocre returns. Since they passively track an index, ETFs are unable to take advantage of market inefficiencies or capitalize on undervalued securities in the same way actively managed funds can.

Considering your desire for balanced returns and exposure to US stocks akin to Parag Parikh-like funds, actively managed funds offer a more suitable option. They provide the potential for superior performance while aligning with your investment objectives and preferences. Working with a Certified Financial Planner can help you identify the most appropriate actively managed funds to include in your portfolio.

Hello, I am 25 years old. Due to personal reasons I invest in only 100% equity mutual funds that do not invest in banking stocks. Currently I am investing in 3 mutual funds: Nippon India Power & Infra direct growth, Taurus Ethical fund and Tata Ethical fund. I have set Tata ethical fund aside as a retirement fund. Can you suggest where can I invest more (sectoral mfs or gold etf etc.)to correctly diversify my portfolio.
Ans: Given your current allocation to 100% equity mutual funds without exposure to banking stocks, let's explore other avenues for diversification while respecting your investment preferences.

One option is to consider adding a component of debt instruments to your portfolio. Debt mutual funds can provide stability and income generation, complementing the growth-oriented equity funds you're already invested in. Look for funds with high-quality debt securities and a track record of consistent returns.

Another avenue to explore is allocating a portion of your portfolio to gold. Gold ETFs or sovereign gold bonds can act as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, diversifying your portfolio and reducing overall risk.

Additionally, you might consider increasing your exposure to international equities. Investing in global markets can provide access to a broader range of opportunities and reduce reliance on any single market or economy.

Ultimately, the key is to maintain a balanced portfolio that aligns with your risk tolerance and long-term financial goals. Consulting with a Certified Financial Planner can help you navigate these options and tailor a diversified investment strategy that suits your needs.

I have a lumpsum amount of 20lakh to invest but have no idea how to invest to get a steady monthly income.
Ans: It's understandable to feel uncertain about how to make your lump sum work for you. As a Certified Financial Planner, I'm here to help navigate this journey with you. Have you considered the power of diversification?

Diversification is like spreading your bets across multiple horses in a race rather than putting all your money on just one. In the investment world, it means allocating your funds across different types of assets like stocks, bonds, and maybe even commodities or real estate investment trusts (REITs). This way, if one asset underperforms, others may compensate, reducing overall risk.

Active funds are managed by professional fund managers who actively research and select investments they believe will outperform the market. This active management can potentially lead to higher returns compared to simply tracking an index.

Regular funds, accessed through a Mutual Fund Distributor (MFD), provide a structured approach to investing. Your MFD can offer personalized advice and support, helping you navigate the complexities of the market and make informed decisions.

Ultimately, the goal is to create a portfolio that balances risk and reward, tailored to your unique circumstances and financial goals. Together with a Certified Financial Planner and your MFD, we can design a strategy that aims to provide you with a steady monthly income while safeguarding your financial future.

Hi, I'm an 18 year old male, recently turned on January of this year, the first thing I did was to open a bank account. I have saved around 1Lakh approx, to be specific 96-97K, from the past two and an half or so year. Currently I have no debt, I don't use credit card, currently no loan. I have a debit card which I use to purchase stuff, my spending is very frugale, except from needs. I have recently opened a demat account and invested around 26-27K in the Indian market, to get a gist of things actually work. I have divided the money into Index/ETF, mid cap and Large cap. Mostly the money is in Index. What should be my next steps to grow, and can you suggest me some demat accounts that are good to use, currently am using INDmoney. I also have plans to study abroad, especially do my bachelor's. I need an amout of around 40-45Lakhs, a safe side of 50Lakhs, if the duration of the study is 3-4years with 2 years extra of work visa what should I do to repay the loan and still have money to progress forward with my career.
Ans: Firstly, congratulations on taking proactive steps towards financial responsibility at such a young age. Your disciplined approach to saving and investing is truly commendable.

As you embark on your journey to grow your wealth and prepare for your studies abroad, it's crucial to strategize wisely. Have you considered the potential benefits of diversifying your investments through actively managed funds rather than relying solely on passive index funds? While index funds offer broad market exposure, active funds are managed by professionals who aim to outperform the market.

For your demat account, have you thought about seeking guidance from a Certified Financial Planner or a Mutual Fund Distributor (MFD) to ensure that you are making well-informed investment decisions? Digital platforms are convenient, but the personalized advice and support from a certified professional can add immense value to your investment journey.

As for planning for your education abroad, have you contemplated exploring investment avenues beyond the stock market? Given the specific timeframe and financial goal, alongside potential currency fluctuations, it's crucial to explore a mix of investment options that align with your risk tolerance and time horizon.

Wishing you the very best as you navigate these financial decisions, and may your journey be filled with learning and growth.
