With increasing investment options in financial assets, it becomes extremely crucial to know what amount we invested and where. In short, keeping track of all our financial investments is a must. But why so? A Lot of us forget after investing, and money keeps lying idle. It’s essential to keep a reminder list of our investments in one place in a user-friendly manner.
Firstly, keeping a list will keep your investment active as you’ll always be in touch with it. Secondly, you won’t miss the time frame of availing profit on maturity. Thirdly, you can always come and look at all your investment options in one place and plan your finances ahead. Another important point not to miss is sharing the list with beneficiaries like nominees etc. so that they can avail benefit in your absence.
Now a million-dollar question, where to maintain this list? Preferably not on a sheet of paper. It’ll create security issues, and at the same time, it’s hectic. Better to have it updated online somewhere. An excel sheet? Yeah, but it is not always the right place to store all your secure stuff. This crisis issue is solved by an AI-driven personal finance app, KUTUMBA.
