A key question you should ask yourself – Is your investment beating inflation? Your money is worth less today than it was a few years ago, thanks to inflation. The Rs. 500 note in your pocket in 20 years will be worth Rs 150 at about 6% inflation each year. Inflation reduces to the purchasing power of your hard-earned money and portfolio.


Despite rising interest rates, traditional modes of investment such as Bank FDs are not able to keep up with inflation (Ref illustration).
