Hello,

Yes. It is very good to invest through Monthly SIP route in Mutual Funds.

(But please note that SIP is just a method of investing in Mutual Funds. It is Very Important to select Very Good MFs before you start SIP in them.)

To understand more about investing through SIP in MFs, do read the text below beyond the initial 7 points.

Investment in Mutual Funds through SIP route should be for a minimum period of 18 months & you should remain invested for minimum of 5+ years. (If you want your money back in less than 5 years, then invest in AAA-rated Fixed-Interest instruments like FDs or NCDs (Non Convertible Debentures etc.) etc.)

Always invest in 5-star or 4-star rated Mutual Funds of reputed Mutual Fund Houses (names stated in paras below), if you want your money to be in safe hands. (For MF ratings, visit: Welcome to Value Research )

Please note, Large and Very Large Companies (= LargeCap Companies) are typically considered Very Safe Companies to invest in.

Please note, Small and Very Small Companies (= SmallCap and MicroCap Companies) are typically considered Very Risky Companies to invest in.

Mid-Size Companies (= MidCap Companies) are also typically considered Risky Companies to invest in, but they are considered safer than Small/Very Small Companies.

Indicative LOW-TAX Returns (provided the investment in 5-STAR-Rated MFs, through SIP, is for minimum 5 years):

~ 15% returns per year, if you invest in Aggressive Hybrid MFs (Very Low Risk Category)

~ 16% returns per year, if you invest in LargeCap MFs (Low Risk Category)

~ 18% returns per year, if you invest in MultiCap MFs (Low Risk Category)

~ 19% returns per year, if you invest in MidCap MFs (High Risk Category)

~ 21% returns per year, if you invest in Small/MicroCap MFs (Very High Risk Category)

Thanku.

Hello

CAS who manage to break into IB performs exceedingly well due to a solid knowledge base of law, tax and most importantly, accounts.
For example - I work in the Real estate, Hospitality and Retail team of the IB division. All my financial models need to have Accounting Standard - 7 incorporated in 'em. Fortunately/unfortunately, everyone in my team is an MBA and they don't know jackshit about accounting standards. That's where we can add immense value.

The biggest hindrance for a CA to become an investment banker is expertise in Finance - which can very well be sorted out but, requires a lot of reading. I'd suggest everyone become Excel experts. Microsoft Excel is one factor which can indeed make you stand out from the rest. Take up self - help tutorials, do financial modelling courses, do valuation courses etc. Also, one should actively track any two sectors of his/her liking. My personal favourites are Defence, Real Estate and Microfinance (Disc - heavily invested in a micro-cap Defence stock).

In IB, the research you do is vital. Better the research, better is the sales pitch. This makes top-notch industry knowledge your life support.

You'll be attending a lot of con-calls, and will be giving a lot of presentations to Private equity guys in case of Fundraising mandates or to Promoters with regards to an IPO or QIB. Point being, you have to be extremely articulate and most importantly, you have to talk with a lot of conviction because at the end of the day you're a glorified broker - you're always selling something or the other.

Have also heard that courses from SIB and Imarticus are pretty good and helpful.

A couple of answers here mention about having stock market expertise. Just to clarify, 'Investment' Banking has nothing to do with Investing. Thanks.

Reality check - Fresh CAs shouldn't even plan on applying for IB roles as their efforts will be futile unless they've done their homework. Instead, take a break and work towards fixing the missing links viz. Modelling, valuations, a bit of finance and specific industry knowledge.

Lastly, instead of having preconceived notions or self-doubts about CAs, please address your flaws. I know quite a few CAs who even have founded their own Investment banking firms and are doing reasonably well with their fundraising practice.

Thanks

yes you can

Hope this was helpful.

A bachelor's degree is the minimum educational qualification required to work as an investment banker. Entry-level analyst positions in the field are typically open to bachelor's degree graduates, and it is possible to move on to a senior banker role without a master's degree in many investment banks. However, a master's degree is very common among the mid-level and senior staff in this industry, as it helps to pave the way for career advancement. In some investment banks, a master's degree is required for entry into the investment banker career track.
