Hello Milind Sir, Good Afternoon, First & foremost, please accept my apologies for such an ignorant & foolish question. Please refrain from passing judgment on me. Sir, I have no stock market, MF, Intra day or Fixed Deposit verticals knowledge on a personal level? I do not have lakhs or crores of rupees in my bank account. Having said that, I have INR 40,000 in a savings account that I would like to invest. What am I supposed to do now? Should I learn about the stock market or put it in mutual funds? Thankyou For Your Time.

Ans: Hello;

First of all remove inferiority complex from your mind.

You are as much a friend as all other answer seekers are!

Normally we seek inputs like your age, time horizon for investment, purpose of investment, you risk appetite and financial profile before advising on the type of investment.

Most people who don't have time, knowledge and temperament for stock trading should avoid doing so directly.

You may invest it in a balanced advantage type mutual fund for 5 year horizon. You may select any fund from the top performance quartile in this category.

Also NPS is desirable for retirement planning.

Best wishes;
