Mutual fund SIPs for 3-5 years or more will minimize the stock market risk for you


The importance of staying invested over the complete life cycle


​People have a tendency of terminating their SIP schemes as soon as they see a drop in the market. This defeats the whole purpose of investing via the SIPs. Staying put with the SIP over its entire cycle enables you to bank on both the upward and downward movements of the market, apart from averaging out the buying price. If you exit during the market lows, you forego the chances of gaining more number of units when the prices are low. Generally, it is advised that SIPs should have a 3-5 years or even a longer horizon to tackle market volatility.

Using Systematic Transfer Plans (STPs) and Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWPs)

​Once you close in on your financial goals, you need not wait till the last moment and to withdraw the whole amount in one go. Rather you can make use of Systematic Withdrawal Plans to pull out money at regular intervals, thus staying invested as well as meeting your financial needs. This as a strategy is generally used to park excess money in debt funds and gradually over a period of time move to equity funds.

The importance of linking the SIP to some financial goal

​Just like any investment, it is important that you link your Systematic Investment Plan to your financial goals. Losing sight of your financial goals can result in making haphazard investments. It's important that you clearly list out your goals (based on priority), fixtime periods for their achievement and finally base your buying decision on the fulfilment of each one of those goals. The main benefit of taking this approach is reduction in risk associated with market timings. As you invest consistently over a period of time, you'll be able to significantly reduce the negative impact of market downturns.

Communist party launches 'China Operating System' to oust iOS and Android

hina officials have launched a national operating system in an attempt to take back control of the country’s computer market from American companies such as Google and Apple. The software has been in development for more than a year, but has been released at a crucial time with revelations about US-led surveillance sparking fears over the integrity of American-designed software. Known simply as the China Operating System, or COS, the software can run on PCs, tablets and smartphones and has been based on the open-source Linux operating system. Chinese media say that the OS has been created “entirely independently” in order to provide better localization for a range of features – from Chinese-language keyboards, to integration with the country’s banks.

How to use home loans most effectively for tax benefits

1) Deduction on interest: If you are paying EMIs for a home loan you took to buy a house, the interest component in the EMI can be claimed as deduction. You must be both an owner and a co-borrower (in the loan) to claim tax benefits. This deduction can be claimed starting the year in which the construction of the house is completed. Suppose the construction of your house was completed on August 30, 2014, you can claim deduction for interest for the entire 12 months in financial year 2014-15. So every year a maximum of Rs. 2 lakh can be claimed for a house that you use for your own residence. If your house is rented, the entire interest for the year can be claimed as deduction. The interest payments for the year shall result in a loss under the head 'income from house property'.
