Don’t hesitate to set big goals: Radhika Gupta’s advice to women investors

In an exclusive conversation with Money9 on International Women’s Day, Edelweiss AML managing director and chief executive officer Radhika Gupta stresses on the need for women to take control of their investments.

“There is no limit to your flight. Don’t hesitate to set big goals,” Gupta said.

Women are few in the workforce, but wherever women have taken up leadership roles, they have proven their mettle. Even when the world was fighting the pandemic women leaders such as New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel handled the situation in a tremendous way.

“Women have been better managers of money. Be it your mother or grandmother, they have always been good with handling money. More often than not, women tend to leave matters of money or investments with the other members of the family. If women take decisions related to their own money and adopt the habit of investing as soon as possible, then they will be able to save more and make their future safe,” Gupta said.

Talking about investment opportunities, Gupta believes Edelweiss AML’s new debt index fund, which will be launched on March 10, can prove to be an option to beat debt fund inflation and provide better returns in terms of tax.

She believes that there will be difficulties that can slow down your pace but do not give up just like ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’.
