Wealth Management plays an important role in one’s life, especially for a millennial. With many options available and opinions to consider it’s difficult to get the best solution when it comes to wealth.

Where to invest? How much to invest? What is SIP? Mutual Fund? Credit score? Recurring deposits NSCs, Alternative investments? How to calculate indexation in Debt funds? What are the Types of Mutual Funds?

Bombarded with many questions, this book answers all the questions mentioned above and many other things we are unaware of. These are some questions not many of us are aware of, the concepts which are still unclear to many of us.

The author keeps it easy and simple for the readers and tries his best to give readers the best overview of services or options available for us when it comes to investments. Be it stock market or mutual fund or credit cards, the author explains the advantages and effects of each of them.

From things to keep in mind while investing to calculating the returns to the government schemes, the author interestingly explains every concept.

With the simple language, crisp and engaging writing style, the author keeps the readers invested in with many examples and practical approach when it comes to investments.

The author tries to keep it light, candid and to the point. The anecdotes and quizzes at the end of chapters makes it more interesting.

There are concepts that we know but not in-depth like taxes, debt funds, will creation, alternative investments. Here you will get answers to all your questions.

Overall, it’s truly a guide for all those who want to understand finance and investments in a better way. A must-read book.
