Report on Financial Planning and Smart Investment Sessions by the Finance Club

The Finance Club at the School of Management recently organized two enlightening sessions aimed at equipping students with essential knowledge on financial planning and smart investment strategies. These sessions provided practical insights to help attendees balance present financial needs with future security.

The first session was conducted by Mr. Surya Kant Sharma, a former SEBI official and AMFI consultant, who emphasized the importance of cultivating financial discipline. He discussed critical habits such as setting clear financial goals, reinvesting returns to leverage the power of compounding, and protecting investments through adequate insurance. He encouraged students to take the first step by starting simple, suggesting Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in diversified mutual funds as an excellent entry point for young investors.

The second session, led by Mr. Sudhir Alewa, a SEBI-registered analyst, delved into the intricacies of stock market investments. He introduced students to strategies for successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) bidding and guided them on selecting promising stocks using both fundamental and technical analysis. His practical approach helped demystify the stock market, making it accessible and less intimidating for novice investors.

Both sessions were rich in practical knowledge and actionable advice. The speakers shared real-world examples and tips, enabling students to understand the significance of long-term financial planning and informed investment decisions. The event was highly engaging and well-received by the attendees, who appreciated the speakers’ expertise and relatable advice.
