Starting around 2015–16, India saw a wave of fintech startups across payments, investing, insurance, lending, and various other corners of finance. What was interesting to me was the investing side of things and all the platforms that started by offering mutual funds. This was also the period when India Stack started making financial onboarding easier. […]

Even today, a large part of household savings in India sits in fixed deposits. The appeal is simple, predictable returns, no market volatility, and very little to manage once you’ve invested. But that simplicity doesn’t scale well. Once you have FDs across multiple banks, rates are scattered, processes differ, and tracking maturity dates and interest becomes […]

Retirement is one of the few financial goals you can’t postpone. But it’s also the one most people delay thinking about. There’s always something more immediate: a house, EMIs, a vacation, or that one stock you’re sure will double. Retirement keeps getting pushed to “next year.” And yet, it’s the one goal where time matters […]

Most of us learned how to save money long before we learned what a mutual fund was. As kids, we saved small amounts of money in a piggy bank. There was no plan, no minimum amount, and no expectation of returns. We added whatever we could: ₹2, ₹5, and sometimes ₹10. Not because we were […]

Systematic Investment Plans, or SIPs, are built on one simple idea, consistency. By investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, SIPs average out your buying costs and allow compounding to work quietly in the background. But many investors lose these benefits by pausing instalments when markets fall or delaying them while waiting for the “right […]

A Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) is a smart way to invest gradually. Instead of putting a large amount of money into mutual funds all at once, STP lets you automatically transfer a fixed amount at regular intervals from one fund to another. STPs help when you want to move money from low-risk funds like liquid […]

A comfortable retirement is the ultimate goal we all work for, but most Indians don’t save for their retirement. This is why we introduced NPS on Coin last year One of the best ways to save for retirement is through the National Pension Scheme (NPS). It’s not only one of the lowest cost investment options […]

Invest in the National Pension Scheme (NPS) on Coin. NPS is a brilliant option for saving for your retirement as it forces you to invest in a diversified portfolio of equities and debt by default. It’s also one of the cheapest investment options out there and tax-efficient.

Investors, Mutual funds are a wonderful way to start investing. Direct mutual funds more so, because you pay 0 commissions, which otherwise you would have from your pocket. 🙂 But if you are new to mutual funds, navigating the maze of over 2000 funds can become overwhelming. We’ve always tried to educate investors about mutual […]

Dear Investors, Yes, Coin is now absolutely free! We launched Coin, our direct mutual fund platform in April 2017. Over the last 16 months, 100,000+ clients have invested over Rs 2000 crores in direct mutual funds and saved tens of crores in commissions that they would have otherwise paid a regular mutual fund platform. But, […]

Investors, It’s been over 5 years that SEBI made it mandatory for all mutual fund houses to offer direct plans. Even so, around 90% of retail individuals still invest in regular funds as they don’t know the difference between regular and direct plans — the ridiculous commissions paid out from their investment on regular plans […]

Through a distributor When purchased this way, the distributor earns an upfront commission of upto 1.5% on your investment and a trail commission of up to 1.5% every year for as long as you are invested […]
