Q) Are you a big investor?
No. I am not.
Q) Who advises you on your investment strategy?
Earlier, my relationship manager of an asset management company used to advise me. But I realised he was making me lose money. So I have shifted to good old investment avenues, FDs and gold.
Q) What is the investment mantra that you follow?
Slow and steady wins the race is my mantra. I am happy with long-term low-return investments.
Q) Do you prefer bank fixed deposits, property, mutual funds or something else?
Fixed deposits are the best. But I also buy gold and invest in post office schemes. I am planing to invest in property shortly.
Q) How do you rate yourself in terms of your risk appetite?
I used to be quite a punter. Now I neither have the time nor inclination to take such risks.
