Having financially secure is a dream for many. However, you can likely achieve it via disciplined investment via SIP in this index fund. Read on to find out more about this fund.

It is quite often evident that due to a lack of financial literacy, people find life after retirement quite insecure. According to the Max Life Insurance’s India Retirement Study 2021 report, 45% of people would depend on children for retirement support.

As a result, it is critical to have a retirement plan in place to cover these costs. When you hear the phrase retirement planning, your mind may race with ideas that might land you in a pickle.
