Shilpa Bhaskar Gole, Founder & Chief Financial Wellness Coach, NerdyBird Financial Wellness, says “when you are reviewing your portfolio, what are some of those reasons which could lead you to having an exit strategy? I find in my area of work that there are four or five typical reasons why people will want to exit from the mutual fund. One question that I get asked most often is, I am invested for a long-term goal. You were also mentioning mutual fund as a long-term strategy. When is a good time for me to get out of this mutual fund and redeem my amount? That is number one.” Do you come across a question where people ask you how one should exit a fund or if that even exists as a concept when you talk about investing in a mutual fund? A lot of my clients ask me this question around exiting mutual funds. I think the first assumption that one must have is that you are talking about people here who are reviewing their portfolio on a regular basis and are reviewing it from the perspective of goal-based asset allocation. We are saying that whatever mutual funds you have in your portfolio are there to help you accomplish your goals. With that assumption in mind, a lot of clients come to me with that question. What we look for is what these exit cues are.

Ritesh Bhatia, Cybercrime Investigator & Cybersecurity Consultant, says “from a user point of view, there is nothing much you can do except for locking your biometrics. I think that is something that every citizen of the country needs to do because somewhere or the other, the fingerprints can be stolen.” There are many reports about hacking of the biometrics linked with the Aadhaar card. Your view? When this entire debate on Aadhaar was going on, we were very concerned about it. We raised these questions that biometrics can be hacked and they said, no, it cannot be done and today it is a reality. It has been happening just like five years back we thought Deepfakes cannot happen but very soon that is going to become a part and parcel of your life. In fact, some of the anchors have already started creating Deepfake versions of themselves. So, what is happening over here is that there is something called AEPS, which is the Aadhaar Enabled Payment System. Now, what exactly is it? Now, if you go to some small villages where there are no ATMs or banks or are at quite a distance, there are micro ATMs or the POS devices, as we call it. They are very small. You just need to give your fingerprint over there, authenticate yourself and you will be given the money. Now, the money that is given is just Rs 10,000. Of course, you can withdraw more but the maximum limit is Rs 10,000 at one time and Rs 50,000 in the day, which means five times you can do this.
