While growing inflation and rising costs of living are key factors, it’s important to realise that financial commitments evolve as we progress in our lives, and our diverse needs such as higher education, leisure, wedding, child-care, starting one’s own venture or even early retirement require financial stability.
The pandemic is a reminder that the need to focus on financial stability is more pressing now than ever before. The challenging year that went by has made people rethink ways to be better prepared for emergencies. Financial stability should be a key milestone for all individuals. It is crucial that one is able to meet all life goals comfortably without any compromises. A financial shield will not only help meet life goals but will also guard individuals and their families against any unforeseen circumstances. Given the ongoing uncertainties, a robust outlook towards financial stability will be instrumental in navigating challenging times.
Balanced financial planning key to financial stability
Over the years, the consciousness towards financial planning has been on the rise as it is a key driver of financial stability. For a long, a majority of Indians usually kept their savings intact in bank accounts or invested in physical assets such as gold and real estate. Lately, the growing awareness about different investment avenues and the smart ways of digital investments has enabled people to invest in stocks, mutual funds, and other market-related avenues for better returns. A balanced portfolio is one that proportionately distributes assets in growth and savings instruments via investments in equities, and fixed income, shares of stocks and risk management products to optimize returns. Such an asset allocation strategy is key to financial stability as it factors in the benefits of each investment instrument.
Financial stability to meet different life stage goals

Take time out each year to evaluate all your investments and analyse which are the ones bringing in maximum promise for the long term. Your goals will evolve with time and you will need to alter your planning approach for different stages of your life. Depending upon the financial needs such as your child’s education or starting your own venture, these goals will vary from wealth generation to risk mitigation and short term returns to building a retirement corpus.
