Goal-Based Investing
Goal-based investing has been the talk of the town in the wealth management industry. The relatively new approach has been emphasizing on investing with an objective of attaining specific goals.
The approach takes into account the requirement of the client, investment horizon available, and accordingly assesses the risk profile of the investor
Based on the risk profile, the asset allocation is determined, and post-allocation, the best stands that can strive to achieve the goal is taken for investment purpose.
Advantages of Goal-Based Investing
- Investor’s commitment to goals by observing and participating in the process
- Reduction in impulsive decision-making and overreaction based on market movement

For the goal, we shall adopt a different approach concerning an investor’s risk profile. Following are the three categories of investors’ considered:

For Aggressive investor who is a risk taker, we believe the following allocation is ideal.

| Final Value | Rs 50,22,000 (approx.) |
Given your salary or income from the business is likely to grow every year, we have assumed 10% increment in your SIP value from second year onwards.
