Suggest a topic
A lot of you reply to the daily emails with suggestions for posts, and I really appreciate that because it gives me post ideas, and I can write about stuff that is most relevant to you.
Normally, I take the gist of your suggestion; create a title of the post, and note it down on a virtual sticky note. But, the issue with this is that it is easy enough to miss an email, and sometimes the titles on the sticky notes don’t make any sense to me when I look at them later on.
So, I am creating a page here that is specifically for your suggestions for posts. You can leave a comment here suggesting an idea for a post, and if I know enough about the topic I will write about it.
That way we won’t lose track of anything you say, and if multiple people suggest the same topic for a post then I know that it should be written prior to moving on to other things.
Thanks for reading – and writing!

You are asking a degree course on your computer. It is a vast subject, either you will learn it as student and study or by experience of long term of many years.
Financial Planning for Newly Married Couples.
Have seen articles on this topic, but nothing that quite helps me in a guided fashion.
First save money wherever possible. To start with put your money in FDs of Nationalized bank. About 20% in a good mutual fund(Make reasearch). 10% purchase 24K gold (not jewels) and keep it in a bank locker. Look out for some one time premium of LIC policies.
AND learn by saving.
1) Why arent index funds doing good in india. And why is it they are not given much attention by the investment sites and even fund houses.The expense ratio is around 1 [ greater than 1 sometimes ] and tracking error is also large.I feel the investment help sites have a bias towards actively managed funds
2)Equity diversification beyond indian market – No good fund yet.
Santhosh – I am pretty sure you are comparing this vis-a-vis the developed markets – especially – the US where Index funds have low expenses and minimal tracking error and where they are a rage.
Indian economy can be compared to that of the state of the US economy in the late 1950s where rapid infrastructure developments lead to massive economic growth. We have decades of economic (and stock market) growth in the making. Chances are actively managed funds will outperform the index for the next 1-2 decades. When we become a matured economy then the alpha on the actively managed funds will fall considerably and we will all be debating on the best index funds really!
It is true Equity diversification beyond Indian market is not available. There are few index ETFs like DJIA, Hangseng etc traded in NSE but just that. Some funds like HSBC Brazil exist but again this in turn does not do any specific stock picking – they buy international funds in their portfolio thereby increasing costs for the investor!
