Investing for higher education?

Question

I'm planning to pursue M.B.A. programme inthe near future and also plan to invest in some good schemes so that I can have better financial answers when that time comes?

1. I'm totally new to investment policies and jargon

2. How should I plan this out?

3. I'm 20 years old currently. And one year away from finishing my college. Do I even have options to invest for such a less time? I do have 1-2 life insurances at HDFC, India and LIC, India.

Answer 1

The best way to learn investing is not in school but by observing the markets and by looking at how experienced people do it.   The professors wouldn't be teaching in school for relatively low wages, if they really knew how to make money in business and on the stock market.

Answer 2

Hi, Its good that you have taken the initiative to invest at such a young age. The important part in investment is the tenure. The tenure should not be less than 5 years, only then will you be able to reap good benefits. You should go for large cap mutual funds on monthly basis like HDFC Top 200, Sundaram Select Focus.
