Busting Money Myths That Are Holding Women Back

By Suganthi Suresh, VP- Sales  – PeakAlpha Investments, Published in Femina India 

For centuries, women have been the de facto money managers at home, yet their abilities to manage money have always been questioned and discounted. The perception that women have no authority over money weighs them down, despite having worked and contributed to the household income or being sole breadwinners. There are many myths surrounding women and money, as they often get a bad rap. Suganthi Suresh, Vice President, Wealth Management at PeakAlpha Investments, lists down five money myths that are holding women back even today.

5 Tough Financial Lessons The Pandemic Has Taught Us

By Priya Sunder Director – PeakAlpha Investments, Published in Femina India 

The pandemic has taught us many crucial life lessons, especially when it came to financial discipline and the importance of savings. Many lost their livelihood and were forced to shift cities looking for opportunities. Some even went bankrupt trying to fund COVID treatment of their family members as they were not aware of insurance schemes. As we approach the end of the second pandemic year, there are some key financial takeaways that we must take note of. “Experience is the best teacher, and the Covid pandemic gave us some unforgettable lessons,” says Priya Sunder, co-founder and director of PeakAlpha Investments, a Bengaluru-based wealth management company. She shares these 5 financial lessons with us which we need to learn from the pandemic.

Should young people invest in realty?

By Priya Sunder Director – PeakAlpha Investments, Article published in Hindustan Times

Home loans are considered as ‘good loans’ because you are building an asset through them and they draw tax benefits. Even then, loan repayment is a costly proposition and can overwhelm young earners as their income and saving is not stable at this stage in their career.

“When you take a home loan, you are essentially taking up equated monthly installments (EMIs) based on future income. For a young earner, the assumption here is that she will earn a certain income tomorrow and continue to pay the loan over the next 15-20 years. At this point in one’s career, that future income stream is uncertain, particularly in today’s job environment,” said Priya Sunder, director, PeakAlpha Investment Services.

Financial Tips To Help Your Ageing Parents With Their Investments

By Kiran Riyaz, Wealth Manager – PeakAlpha Investments, Published in Femina India 

We frequently come across studies on child-rearing. However, you’re at a loss when it comes to caring for ageing parents. The caregiving role in most households gradually changes from parent to child. This gets considerably more difficult if one parent is no longer alive or if the spouse who was in charge of finances has passed away. Money is a touchy subject that is frequently avoided in open discussions between parents and children. However, we cannot deny that our ability to assist ageing parents in living a dignified life is often dependent on our financial resources. So, how can we ensure that our parents’ financial situation is in good shape? What kind of help can we give them to equip them without crossing lines? Kiran Riyaz, Certified Financial Planner and Portfolio Manager, at PeakAlpha Investments P Ltd, list out what one can do.

STEPS TO CHECK YOUR KYC STATUS:

  1. Visit www.cvlkra.com and click on KYC Inquiry
  2. Enter your 10-digit PAN and Captcha and click on Submit
  3. Your KYC Status will be displayed as ‘KYC Validated / KYC Registered / KYC On-Hold’

WHAT DOES EACH KYC STATUS IMPLY?

  • KYC VALIDATED
  • Relax! You have to do nothing at all!
  • Over 73% of investors are KYC Validated, you too are one of them.
  • You can do any transaction in any mutual fund, anytime.
  • KYC REGISTERED
  • You can continue making transactions (like Purchases, Redemptions, Switches, SIPs, etc.) in all your existing Mutual Fund investments
    without any hassle.
  • Only if you want to invest in a mutual fund where you don’t have any investment already, you will have to do your KYC once again.
  • You can get your KYC status changed to ‘KYC Validated’ by doing the KYC Update/ KYC Modification process using PAN and Aadhaar from
    XML, Digi-locker or M-Aadhaar.
  • The process to do this is simple, available on all Mutual Fund/RTA websites and takes few minutes to complete.
  • Once your KYC status changes to Validated you can invest in any Mutual Fund of your choice without any requirement of re-KYC.
  • KYC ON-HOLD/REJECTED
  • The KYC status on the Mutual Fund /RTA website, will show the reason for ‘KYC On-Hold’/Rejected status; it could be: Mobile or Email not
    validated / PAN is not linked with Aadhaar / Deficiency in the KYC documents, etc.
  • You simply have to remediate the reason for KYC On-Hold/Rejected by following the steps given on the Mutual Fund Website. Once your
    KYC status changes to Registered/Validated you will be all set to start transacting, as per the KYC status.
  • The steps to resolve any KYC issues are easy and can be done from the comfort of your home. In case of any difficulties, feel free to contact
    your intermediaries or KRAs office/ helpline (available on their website) for further assistance.
