I am an engineer by chance & a Personal Financial Planner by choice. Currently residing in Kanpur & writing full time for Financial Kundali.
It all began in early 2010 when I was pursuing my M.B.A. in Finance. A Life Insurance agent came to our home & pitched a policy. The agent told me the in & out of the policy but was not able to answer my few simple questions like:
# What is the actual rate of interest
# Why a person with zero liabilities would need this policy
# Why to go for a policy when we can buy an online insurance plan at much cheaper rate.
I was totally confused. The idea of buying the policy was dropped & I began my research. I approached few more agents of some other life insurance companies but none were able to answer my questions & their main concern was to sell their product. Finally, i decided to read the fine prints of the policy & understand how it works.
Mis-selling by agents is so common these days. Seeing the huge disconnect between what people need & what agents sell, I decided to bridge the gap and started writing a blog on various financial products. During this tenure I completed my certifications from Financial Planning Standards Board of India in:
# Retirement Planning
# Tax Planning
# Insurance Planning
# Investment Planning.
To further enhance my knowledge in Mutual Fund & Insurance Products, i completed certification courses from:
# Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI)
# Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority(IRDA)
With the Sole AIM of making people "financially literate", I shall keep updating on various financial products offered by the Insurance & Mutual Fund industry.
