Find answers to most common queries investors always had but did not know who to ask
The personal finance landscape has changed rapidly over the last few years. First, several new products have come into the market. Second, technology and fintech have become an essential part of the financial landscape. What’s more, we now have a new breed whom we call investors.
A typical Outlook Money reader has a good job, a high income, several financial goals, primary among them being children’s education and retirement. She would have either bought a house or is about to buy one and would be pretty aware that she needs to get life and health insurance. She would be investing in equity to meet her goals and will also have access to digital banking and easy credit. And last, but not the least, she would also want to know how to save on taxes and make her investments more tax efficient.
