Describe three ways you will invest in your future based on the principles of finance discussed in this course.

An Emergency Fund will be one way I invest in my own future. It should be sufficient to cover all expenses for six months, including rent, housing, insurance premiums, and transport costs. A financial emergency fund can provide financial protection in the event of loss or illness, as well as financial safety for any unexpected financial hardships. This type of account can be built by starting with a small amount every month, increasing it gradually until you are able to save enough for your immediate needs. Having an emergency fund can help ensure that personal financial problems don’t become overwhelming during difficult times.

Diversifying my portfolio through portfolio management can help me invest in my future. Because diversification involves diversifying investments in various asset classes, it spreads out the risk. No single security or asset class can dominate the portfolio. Instead, each asset contributes to the total return on investment. Portfolio management attempts to maximize long-term return while minimizing risk by using tools like Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and William Sharpe’s CAPM equation to determine optimal allocations within a given portfolio structure. This equation takes into consideration factors such as expected returns, volatility, correlation, among other things, in order to determine which securities should or shouldn’t be sold.

Retirement planning strategies, such as ULIPSs and NPSs are the third option I consider investing. Market-linked investments such as ULIPs have features that are similar to mutual funds, but also offer additional benefits like insurance coverage. If one puts Rs 50000 each year into a ULIP, with an 8.5% annual growth rate, he will accumulate Rs 4 Crore over the 25-year tenure. Similarly National Pension System (NPS), allows people who enroll maximum percentage their salary towards retirement savings However unlike traditional pension schemes where employee receives lump sum amount maturity NPS gives annuity monthly income retired individuals Though choice ULIP VS NPS depends on features offered budget preferences both excellent options build secure future financially  (Kashyap Krishnan Kaur Ghai 2019 ).
