With 17 years of experience in a fantasizing world of finance, I have met many people wanting to become rich overnight. It’s difficult to teach and explain to people that making money in markets requires patience, but that’s what we do day in and day out. I truly believe in the power of compounding and always recommend starting early. Savings and investments should ideally begin with very first salaries.

With growing awareness about mutual funds and investments, it is easier to take away the fear from the investment process. But at the same time, complacence has led to lesser financial discipline and lack of consistency in investments. I have seen money multiply several times its original value with financial discipline and consistency in investments. It is important to stay focused on financial objectives, understand risk profiles and commit to financial plans. Money in markets can be made only when an investor understands the importance of savings and compounding.
