Selecting the most appropriate goal solely depends on your future needs. As per the time horizon, one should focus on selecting their financial goal.

For example, a child education plan is the best long-term investment for your child. Nowadays, the fees of courses are already so expensive.

Say you invest 10,000 monthly for 18 years. As you will be needing money by the time your child turns 18. If we expect a return of 11% your investment could grow to Rs. 68.01 lakhs* after 18 years. The power of compounding will grow your wealth exponentially.

Figure out your requirement. Figure out whether you want a short-term, mid-term, or long-term goal. Accordingly, plan for it!
