The asset allocation and selection of investment vehicles
keep changing as your risk-bearing capacity diminishes.
If you are a young professional and think that it’s too
early to save for your Retirement, think again.
Let us take this example.
Let's assume that you are a 35 year old, earning Rs.3 lakh
per annum. If your salary grows at 5% per annum and you
plan to retire after 25 years. Under these circumstances,
assuming your post-retirement requirement would be 60% of
your last annual income (Rs.10 lakh approx), you would
need about Rs.6 lakh per annum after retirement.
To achieve this, you need a retirement corpus of Rs.75
lakh assuming you earn a return of 5% per annum over a
period of 20 years. To meet this goal, you would have to
invest more than Rs.9,000 per month at 7% per annum for
the next 25 years. Inflation and tax implications have not
been considered for simplicity.
Methods of creating your
retirement wealth:
To attain financial independence after retirement one need
to follow the methods as mentioned in a disciplined
manner:
Be an early starter
Start investing early because a small sum of money saved
regularly and invested regularly makes a big amount, which
will come in very handy after retirement. The key to a
financially independent future is "sooner the better".
Cautious investors believe in this principal and plan
their retirement accordingly.
Create a Retirement Plan
Develop a plan for saving based on your requirements at
the time of retirement. The goals you keep for saving
depend on your lifestyle but you will need at least about
60% of your pre-retirement income to maintain your
standard of living when you stop working.
Our financial planners will help you construct and monitor
your retirement plan and work with you to achieve your
goals.
