Young, Wild, and Free – But Still You Should Have a Will
Think of a will as a “future-proof” plan. It’s not about being morbid—it’s about taking charge! A Will ensures your wishes are followed, whether it’s about your favourite car, your prized sneaker collection, or even access to your social media accounts. Surprising, right?
Here’s the kicker: you don’t need to be rich or have kids to make a Will. Got a savings account, a cool gadget, someone you deeply care about or even what will happen to your social media accounts – FB, Insta, X, Tinder, even LinkedIn? That’s reason enough.
Estate planning isn’t just for the elderly or wealthy anymore. Young Indians with dreams, responsibilities, and growing assets can benefit immensely. A Will shields your loved ones from unnecessary hassle and guarantees that your intentions are honoured.
Life is unpredictable, but your decisions don’t have to be. Taking the simple step of creating a Will today – this not only safeguards your future but also gives you peace of mind. So, while you’re making memories, take a moment to plan for the ones you leave behind.
If you’d like assistance or a format to create your Will, feel free to approach us—we’ll be happy to help!

Forget Big Returns—Bigger Savings Are Your Ticket to Financial Freedom!
In India, wealth creation is often linked to high returns from stocks, mutual funds, or gold. While these are important, the most powerful yet often overlooked strategy is prioritizing saving more.
Here’s why focusing on savings can transform your financial journey:
1. Compounding Needs a Solid Base: Compounding thrives on the capital invested. For example, saving ₹10,000 monthly at 12% annual return grows to ₹23 lakh in 10 years, while ₹1,000 under the same conditions yields just ₹2.3 lakh. The difference? Savings, not returns.
2. Buffer Against Market Volatility: Indian markets are volatile. While Sensex and Nifty show long-term growth, high-risk investments can lead to losses. A strong savings habit ensures you can continue investing consistently, regardless of market fluctuations.
3. Combat High Inflation: Inflation impacts purchasing power. A higher savings rate lets you invest in assets like equities or PPFs, helping to outpace inflation.
4. Achieve Indian Lifestyle Goals: Be it buying a home, funding education, or retiring early, a higher savings rate reduces reliance on loans and market returns, giving financial freedom tailored to Indian aspirations.
5. Use Tax-Saving Tools: Savings directed into PPF, EPF, ELSS, or NPS not only grow wealth but also reduce tax liabilities, maximizing returns.
In India, where financial markets are growing but still developing, focusing on bigger savings rather than chasing big returns is a prudent approach. This strategy aligns with the ethos of living within one’s means while building a secure financial future. Start saving more today, and watch as you unlock the door to financial independence!

What did our clients ask us in the last 7 days?
Question – With Donald Trump returning to power, could his policies impact the Indian stock market? Is my portfolio well aligned to adapt to any changes, particularly in regard to sectoral allocations?
Our Reply –
Donald Trump’s return might bring changes that impact the Indian stock market. His pro-business policies could boost the U.S. economy, benefiting Indian industries like IT, pharma, and textiles that export to the U.S.
However, his “America First” approach might create challenges, such as trade tensions or higher tariffs. This could affect sectors like steel and automobiles, which depend on global trade.
Your portfolio is designed to handle such ups and downs. It’s diversified, meaning your investments are spread across different industries and types of assets. If one sector faces challenges, others in the portfolio can balance it out, keeping your investments stable and growing over time.
What We’re Doing:
We keep a close watch on global events and adjust portfolios when needed. Your investments are well-prepared to handle any changes that Trump’s policies might bring. And you have already seen over the years how we keep aligning portfolios to current market conditions, your life’s personal developments and the national and international economic scenarios.
If you’d like to discuss your portfolio further, feel free, like always, to contact your financial planner at Hum Fauji Initiatives.
