Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with us

How are you regulated and is my money safe?

We are SEBI Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) with registration number INA000015581. We NEVER handle your money directly - all investments are made in your own name through your demat account with established platforms like Zerodha, Groww, or directly with AMCs. Your money always remains in your control.

What are your fees and how do you charge?

We charge a flat fee of ₹5,000 for initial financial planning and ₹15,000 per year for ongoing advisory (or 0.5% of AUM for portfolios above ₹30 lakhs, whichever is lower). We primarily recommend direct mutual funds which have no commissions.

What is the minimum investment amount to work with you?

There is no minimum investment requirement. We work with young professionals starting their first SIP of ₹5,000 per month as well as HNIs with crores in assets. Our advice is customized to your financial situation and goals.

What happens in our first consultation?

The first consultation (90 minutes) covers: understanding your current financial situation, defining goals, risk profiling, review of existing investments and insurance, and initial recommendations. You will receive a written financial plan within 48 hours.

Do you only recommend mutual funds?

While mutual funds form the core of most portfolios, we also advise on direct equity, debt instruments like PPF, FDs, bonds, gold allocation through SGBs, international diversification, and insurance planning (term and health only, no ULIPs).

How often will we review my portfolio?

We conduct formal reviews quarterly with a detailed annual review. You also get monthly market commentary, alerts for rebalancing opportunities, WhatsApp/email support for urgent queries, and proactive communication during market volatility.
