We all have dreams and desires, but most of us do not plan our investments according to our goals. The investments are made with a single minded focus on maximizing returns. This often leads to investment mistakes, like trying to time the market. Goal Systematic Investment plan helps the investors to make SIP investments with an objective to meet a pre-assigned Goal like Child education, Marriage, home, retirement etc.
The following are different types of goals. The below list is indicative and depends on life stage and ambitions of each individual.
1-3 Years
Foreign Vacation
3-5 years
Buying a car
Starting a business
More than 5 years
Retirement
Children’s Education
Children’s Marriage
Before listing your goals, you need to prioritizing them so that you can plan important goals first. Also your goal should be SMART
For instance, "I wish to accumulate Rs. 25 lakh by 2025 to fund my kid's higher education", is an example of a SMART goal.
Also consider inflation, while computing the future value of your goals. Assuming the current cost of
funding your daughter's education is Rs. 5 lakh. After five years, you would require Rs. 6.38 lakh, assuming an inflation rate of 5%.
Hence, you should work with your financial advisor to review your goals, say annually
and update for any major life changes.
Goal based investing adds a direction to an investment. It is a well thought out and structured process where you know the purpose of why each rupee is being invested.
