Planning an early retirement and not knowing where to start can be a time-consuming process. What consumes even more time is making the same mistakes that you could have avoided by knowing what others did and how things work.

Bapa Saha: What should be the equity allocation after one reaches the age of 60? Should one choose a balanced advantage fund, direct equity fund after 60?

Girish: So first of all 60 is a normal retirement. So for normal retirement, for example, 60-90 years of age, you will be spending 30 years in retired life. If you are 60 it does not mean you can run away from wealth-building assets like equities. For retired planning, we use a marketing strategy, from 60-65 years of age you can invest in safe liquid hedge funds, fixed deposits. For 65- 68 years of age, you can take some risk, you can invest in balanced advantage funds. After 68, you must look at a well-chosen portfolio for retired life.
