Which process is used by mutual fund experts in Jodhpur for investment?

There is a lot of confusion when it comes to investing in mutual funds, which funds, what amount, and what not. But experts can make it a breeze for you. Mutual fund experts in Jodhpur follow a clear and structured process to ensure they make the best decisions for their clients. Do you want to know how your money is managed? Let's look at the steps followed by the best mutual fund company in Jodhpur to invest your hard-earned money.

Step 1: Understanding Client Goals

The first step is understanding client's financial goals. This could be anything from saving for retirement, funding children's education, or buying a home. By knowing what the client aims to achieve, experts can recommend the right type of mutual funds.

Step 2: Assessing Risk Tolerance

Everyone has a different comfort level when it comes to taking risks. Experts assess how much risk a client is willing to take. Some people prefer safer investments with lower returns, while others are okay with higher risks for the chance of greater rewards. This assessment helps in selecting the right mutual funds that match the client's risk tolerance.

Step 3: Research and Analysis

Once the goals and risk tolerance are clear, the next step is thorough research and analysis. Experts study various mutual fund options available in the market. They look at factors like past performance, the fund manager's track record, expense ratios, and the types of assets in the fund. This research ensures that they choose funds with the potential for good returns.

Step 4: Diversification

One key strategy used by mutual fund experts is diversification. It spreads your risk among different assets like stocks, bonds, and other securities. Diversification helps in reducing risk because it prevents putting all the money in one place. If one investment doesn’t perform well, others might balance it out.

Step 5: Regular Monitoring

Investing in mutual funds is not a one-time activity. Mutual fund experts regularly monitor the performance of the funds. They keep an eye on market trends and economic changes that might affect investments. If a particular fund is not performing as expected, they may suggest rebalancing the portfolio or switching to better-performing funds.

Step 6: Reviewing and Rebalancing

Over time, the value of investments can change. To ensure the portfolio stays aligned with the client’s goals and risk tolerance, mutual fund professionals review and rebalance the portfolio periodically. This might involve selling some funds and buying others to maintain the desired asset allocation.

Step 7: Transparent Communication

Throughout the process, mutual fund experts maintain clear and transparent communication with their clients. They provide regular updates on how the investments are performing and discuss any necessary changes. This builds trust and ensures clients are well informed about their investments.

Conclusion

Investing in mutual funds is a smart way to grow your wealth, but it requires planning, research, and execution. The fund experts follow a detailed and client-focused process to ensure your investments are in good hands. By understanding your goals, assessing risk, conducting thorough research, diversifying investments, monitoring performance, and maintaining transparent communication, they help you navigate the world of mutual funds effectively. If you're looking for guidance, we are ready to assist you with your investment needs.

There was a TikTok of an (American) woman who was documenting her husband’s ICU room and expressing displeasure with the state it was in, it was generally unclean with broken equipment, rust stains, clipped flooring, things that can make a medical environment unsafe. I opened the comments expecting people to be like “Wow, that’s scary. And a huge infection risk. ICU stays often cost patients upwards of $100k and not enough of that money is going to maintenance and cleaning.” But instead it was nurses being utterly vile to this woman. Not saying “You’re right, it’s terrible that we’re forced to do our jobs in unsafe, unclean and outdated environments.” they were telling her she was a prime example of why patients’ families were the worst part of their job.

The hospital that charged my insurance $87k for a single endoscopy & colonoscopy performed on me was recently fined for having dirty equipment. If not on sanitation, if not on giving nurses and providers better wages, if not on updating the facility, where the hell did that money go? If nurses could band together to attack and criticize hospital administration and the American medical system in the way they band together to attack and criticize patients and advocates online, all of our lives could improve.

But of course it is easier to raise the sword against the vulnerable person dependent on your care, on the people often experiencing the worst day of their life when they are too frightened and in pain to treat you with courtesy. It’s easier to lash out at the patient inquiring about their medication after waiting two hours than to lash out at the people responsible for making you responsible for 30 patients at once.

I don’t think anyone blames nurses for hospital rooms being nasty. It’s not their job. It’s the job of custodial staff and maintenance. It’s the job of administration to fund those departments. It’s a problem at the top. If we could all look upwards instead of down when it comes to who we criticize and blame, we could make progress.

5 Reasons Why Life Insurance Matters More Than You Think

Life often involves planning for various aspects. We always prepare for board exams ahead, we get the petrol tank filled before we run out of fuel, and we always make sure we carry some cash before leaving our house, yet we fail to prepare ahead for our life itself. Have you ever thought about what would happen to your loved ones, if you weren't around anymore?

Secure Your Loved Ones with Life Insurance

Life insurance is more than just a financial product; it's a promise of security and care for your family's future. It’s an agreement between you and an insurance provider, ensuring that in the event of your passing, a designated amount will be provided to your beneficiaries. This safety net ensures that even in your absence, your family can maintain their quality of life without facing financial hardship. If you don’t know where to begin, experts can help you secure your family’s future and guide you on family financial planning in Cochin.

Why Do You Need Life Insurance?

Here is why life insurance matters way more than you think:

Protection for Your Loved Ones: Life insurance isn't just about you - it's a promise to safeguard the future of those you care about. It ensures your family maintains their lifestyle, handles debts, and meets daily expenses without financial strain when you're no longer there.

Legacy and Financial Stability: Consider life insurance as a way to build a lasting legacy. It provides stability beyond your lifetime, allowing your heirs to pursue their goals without worrying about financial instability.

Covering Debts and Expenses: Beyond emotional support, life insurance offers practicality. It helps cover pending debts, mortgages, education expenses, and financial obligations, easing the burden on your loved ones.

Tax Benefits and Investment Opportunities: Life insurance not only protects but also provides tax benefits under Section 80C and 10(10D). Some policies offer investment potential, allowing your wealth to grow over time.

Peace of Mind Amid Uncertainty: Life's uncertainties can be unsettling. Having life insurance means embracing peace amidst unpredictability. It assures your family has a safety net, reducing emotional strain during tough times.

Types of Life Insurance:

Life insurance comes in various forms to suit different needs:

Term Life Insurance: Provides coverage for a specific period.

Whole Life Insurance: Provides lifelong coverage while also building up a cash value over time.

Endowment Policies: Combines insurance and savings for long-term goals.

ULIPs (Unit-Linked Insurance Plans): Links investment with insurance.

Money-Back Policies: Offers periodic payouts during the policy term.

Conclusion

Life insurance is more than a policy—it's a commitment to your family's security. It's about taking responsibility to secure their future when you're not there. From ensuring financial stability to leaving a lasting legacy, life insurance serves as a pillar of strength in uncertain times.

Thirukochi Financial Services, the best wealth management advisor in Cochin can help you with the best life insurance options that align with your aspirations and provide comprehensive protection for your loved ones. Remember, securing tomorrow starts today!

Dolly Parton - Jolene 1973

Dolly Parton is an American singer-songwriter, actress, and philanthropist. With a career spanning over fifty years, Parton has been described as a country legend and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. She has had 25 singles reach no. 1 on the Billboard country music charts, a record for a female artist (tied with Reba McEntire). She has 44 career Top 10 country albums, a record for any artist, and she has 110 career-charted singles over the past 40 years. She has composed over 3,000 songs. She has founded a number of charitable and philanthropic organizations, chief among them is the Dollywood Foundation, which manages a number of projects to bring education and poverty relief to East Tennessee where she grew up. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Parton donated $1 million towards research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which funded the critical early stages of development of the Moderna vaccine.

"Jolene" was released on October 15, 1973, as the first single and title track from her the thirteenth solo studio album Jolene, and became Parton's second solo number one single on the country charts. "Jolene" became Parton's first top ten hit song in the UK, reaching number seven in the UK Singles Chart in 1976. It also re-entered the chart when Parton performed at the Glastonbury festival in 2014.

According to Parton, the song was inspired by a red-headed bank clerk who flirted with her husband, Carl Dean, at his local bank branch around the time they were newly married. In an interview, she also revealed that Jolene's name and appearance are based on that of a young fan who came on stage for her autograph.

During an interview on The Bobby Bones Show in 2018, Parton revealed that she wrote "Jolene" on the same day that she wrote "I Will Always Love You".

"Jolene" was nominated for the Grammy Awards for Best Female Country Vocal Performance twice, in 1975 and 1976. The first nomination was for the original recording, and the second was for a live recording from the TV series In Concert. It did not win either time, but in 2017, a cover by the a cappella group Pentatonix which featured Parton as a guest singer won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

In 2023 she released her forty-ninth solo studio album, Rockstar, a collaborative project with a variety of rock musicians and where "Jolene" is sung by Italian rockband Måneskin, listen to it here!

"Jolene" received a total of 94,3% yes votes!

I think a lot of the skepticism and derision toward the idea of "gifted kid burnout" stems from the fact that a lot of folks have no idea what the gifted track in most high schools actually looks like; they've got this mental image, possibly informed by popular media depictions, of "gifted kids" as a privileged group of students who get to go on extra field trips, monopolise the teachers' attention in class, and constantly be told how special they are, but who are otherwise treated identically to all the other kids.

In practice, the gifted track in most high schools – most North American high schools, at any rate – has the same problem as any other educational program: the need to adhere to published metrics. These programs exist for the benefit of students only insofar as those benefits can empirically be measured, which leads to several common outcomes:

Students on the gifted track being afforded fewer choices regarding elective classes – often to the extent of having no choices at all – in order to stream the highest-performing students into the subjects that are most valuable in terms of boosting institutional metrics.

Students on the gifted tracking receiving restricted access to educational resources such as tutoring because it's perceived as a waste of funding. In many cases, gifted students are not only denied access to tutoring, but expected to serve as volunteer tutors and teaching assistants themselves, effectively becoming a source of unpaid educational labour for the schools they attend.

Students on the gifted track being assigned considerably more homework, often literally doubling their workload in an environment where homework loads are already routinely high enough that kids have difficulty finding time to eat and sleep, simply because you get more measurable academic performance data that way.

The upshot is that the gifted track is often less about fun perks and constant praise, and more about receiving less freedom, fewer resources, and heavier workloads than one's peers, getting strong-armed into providing unpaid labour to the school on top of it, and constantly being told one should be grateful for it – and that's without touching on the fact that the unspoken secondary purpose of many gifted programs is to serve as a quarantine for all the neurodivergent kids the school couldn't find an excuse to institutionalise or expel.

Like, shit, there's a reason kids on the gifted track exhibit elevated rates of alcoholism and substance abuse compared to general student populations. That doesn't arise in a vacuum!

(To be clear, I'm not saying that people graduating from high school and immediately having an existential crisis upon realising they're not special after all isn't a thing that happens, but in my experience that's more usually something that happens to the kids who were on the football team, and reframing it as a nerd culture thing is really weird.)

Just found out about the Enough Stuff Non-Profit in Illinois and it got me thinking about Crime Alley and about if there was a place like that, they’d work hard to keep it going.

Now I’m imagining Danny, ghost king with its coffers, things at relative peace, but not having to actively work. He’d want to still be able to give back I think even if it’s not actively fighting. What if Danny started an Enough Stuff shop. Everything there is free. Everything is donated. It runs on donations. (The first few months it runs on his savings; ghost money translates thankfully).

Danny lives in the apartment above the store and the store has two floors. Sam moves in next door and runs an apothecary and plant store. She ends up running a vegan bakery and coffee shop too. If you perform or write a poem, you get a free coffee and scone. If she has the chance, she’ll teach you about basic herbal remedies and also some basic first aid because while honey is an antibiotic, it doesn’t do shit for something needing stitches. Jazz moves in and opens a free pediatric clinic. Tucker can be found running the business side of the non-profits and pushing Sam to “just get an EMT certification already, you’re more than qualified, and you know you want to.” Val travels a lot, she’s an Olympic martial artist, but when she settles someplace to train it’s usually with the trio in their Frankenstein apartment made up of the top two floors of three connected buildings. Between Danny finding he enjoyed training from his years as a hero and Sam wanting to always be in top form there’s a gym there she can train in and Danny’s usually free. She helps with whoever needs it when she has free time so she doesn��t feel like a mooch for living there only part-time. She ends up saving some kid from a thug and deciding to train him up. This leads to the kid bringing more kids to learn from her. She ends up buying a building on the block and renovating it to be a gym and training facility for her and it gets added to the list of non-profits Tucker is running. (He only leaves his corner office, he insisted, during working hours for lunch or meetings and the occasional lunch meeting).

Tim losing his mind trying to find anything about them. Him constantly hitting firewalls of binary, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Esperanto and some other language he could only describe as auditory Zalgo text. Tim desperately wanting to investigate in person but he promised Jason he’d stay out of it until he asked.

Jason coming back from a long mission with the Outlaws seeing the “cute little trust fund kid’s experiment” not only flourishing, but growing. He goes to research them only to find they’re mostly squeaky clean. There’s some stuff about disturbance of the peace and minor property damage when a teenager, but that doesn’t mean anything for someone setting up in Crime Alley. He watches them for a while, listened to what his guys said about them and the general opinion. He decides they’re above board, but he’d still watch them.

Then he got shot. More accurately, a shot grazed just under his armpit where there was a gap in his armor. He ended up stumbling out of an alleyway and directly into the pathway of one red headed doctor.

Kinda want to add more Amity Parker’s at some point. Debating having Paulina run a fashion house in the fashion district because she couldn’t convince her dad to let her move to a place known as Crime Alley, and just spend a bunch of time at Danny’s shop and maybe drop off ‘fits she made there. Star and Wes running a local radio station. Dash becoming a mechanic (after freaking out about not making it in football). Kwan opens a vet clinic. Eventually the Amity Parker’s own a full two blocks of housing and businesses.

lil rant about franco & a recent clip i stumbled upon of him in monza:

in monza franco was interviewed by a journalist and basically said: “x journalist has been going around saying i’m italian-argentinian i’m not. i’m just argentinian. i’ve read more than once that they’re saying i’m italian-argentinian. i have an italian passport but that’s it—i’m argentinian. just argentinian”

and maybe i’m reading too much into it, but i feel this means so much more than what people might think. because franco’s trajectory as a driver has truly been powered by argentinian support. and i don’t mean this in a “it’s great to be cheered on” way. i mean it in a franco needed help during his career and argentina came to his aid.

here’s a little background for those unaware: franco did amazingly in f4 with even fernando alonso backing him in drivex team. he won f4 by a margin of nearly 100 points, with 11 victories (out of 21), 14 podiums, 9 pole positions and 10 fastest laps. by all accounts, he was ready to move onto f3—but he couldn’t, because he didn’t have the money. there’s actually a story that franco had to sleep in a factory to cut costs.

and so, instead of moving onto f3, franco instead participated in other series like formula regional european championship and lemans. eventually, his performance got him enough monetary support to get into f3, where he eventually got signed by williams into their academy. however, williams was only going to fund his move into f2 if he placed among the top three—but he ended up ranking fourth. this meant williams would not be funding near entirety of his f2 move, and that the jump from f3 to f2 would be near impossible for franco to cover on his own.

now, during 2023 a campaign started in argentina twitter under #francolapintoaf2 (“fran colapinto to f2”), where argentina literally stood up to get franco sponsors to get into f2. if it hadn’t been for the enormous support franco got from argentinian people, he wouldn’t have been able to move up to f2 when he did.

bizarrap (very very famous argentinian producer/singer who is now a friend of franco’s & one of his major sponsors) actually said that the only reason he found out about franco was because he was messaged a screenshot of the campaign and he decided to reach out and basically ask “what do you need and how can i help you get it?”

so. yeah. franco’s career has always been backed by the support of his country, and he’s always been vocal about his love for argentina. i guess it just makes total sense to me that he would be slightly pissed at a journalist calling him “italian-argentinian” even though his mom is technically italian. because yeah!! there’s one country that’s been standing behind him this whole time, that’s been cheering his name the loudest, that has supported him every step of the way. and it’s not italy.

The Case Against RFK Jr.

RFK Junior is not who you think he is.

It pains me to say it, but he is a dangerous nutcase.

He claims to want to heal America, but his vision for our future is tainted by his endorsements of hateful conspiracy theories – and the fact that he is being funded in large part by donors aligned with Donald Trump.

It’s time to lift the curtain on a campaign based on false, irresponsible, and self-contradictory claims.

RFK Junior repeatedly promoted a right-wing conspiracy theory that chemicals in the water are turning people gay or transgender.

He suggested COVID-19 was a bioweapon, mysteriously designed to spare Jewish people.

[RFK Jr.: “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”]

He’s spent years spreading anti-vaxx lies.

And in his 2021 book, RFK Junior alleged, with no plausible evidence, that Dr. Fauci performed genocidal experiments, sabotaged treatments for AIDS, and conspired with Bill Gates to suppress information about COVID-19.

These are not the words of someone who is serious about leading – let alone healing – this country.

As someone who once worked for his father, RFK, and admired his uncle, JFK, I’m disturbed to see RFK Junior speak this way.

RFK Senior would never have suggested that a deadly virus was targeted at certain races. And as president, JFK signed the Vaccination Assistance Act in order to, “achieve as quickly as possible the protection of the population, especially of all preschool children.”

If not for his illustrious name – and role as a potential spoiler – RFK Junior would be just another crackpot in the growing pool of fringe politicians.

It’s no coincidence that he shares top backers with the likes of Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene — or that Trump allies Roger Stone and Steve Bannon encouraged him to run in the first place.

But the Kennedy brand is political gold, and it could pull away just enough sympathetic voters to tip the race toward Trump.

Democracy won by a whisker in 2020. Just 44,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin decided the outcome. If RFK Junior — or any third-party candidate — peels off just a fraction of the vote from Biden, while Trump’s base stays with him, they will deliver a victory to Trump.

If Junior had any respect for the principles his father fought and ultimately died for, he would withdraw his candidacy. Immediately.

In today's update of Canada Loves Eugenics, 10,064 people died in 2021 through medically assisted death in Canada, and while MAID supposedly exists to allow people with severe, incurable illnesses to die with dignity on their own terms, MAID is generally used because disabled and mentally ill people cannot access governmental assistance and are living in poverty.

The Canadian government is actively pushing poor, disabled people to death.

oh and by the way, Canada performs more organ transplants from MAID donors than any other country in the world.

"Six disability rights and religious advocates told Reuters that the pace of the planned changes to the assisted death framework in Canada brings additional risks of people opting for MAID because they are unable to access social services - the lack of which could exacerbate their suffering." - source

Anyway, it's basically like this: the USA has the Americans with Disabilities Act and Canada has MAID
