WHY INVEST IN BASKETS
While you may consider investing yourself into stocks or via a mutual fund scheme into select themes or sectors, there is either lack of discipline or lack of availability that doesn’t ultimately allow you to execute such preferences. Or you may miss out on exits at the right time (fundamentally speaking). And a PMS is of course far beyond reach of most due to its minimum investment size of Rs 50 lakh.
WealthDesk changes that! Bringing a range of Advisory services to Prabhudas Lilladher clients!
