Why Swatantra?

 

We believe mutual funds are a sure way to begin your journey as a successful investor. In simple words, mutual fund means a professionally managed type of collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors to buy stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities. However, many people have different Myths related to investing in mutual funds. Example, “It’s too late for me to start saving for retirement now.” “Financial advisors mostly provide investment/retirement advice.” “Financial Planning is all for rich people” and so on.

This is where Swatantra steps in to show a clear picture of what investing in mutual fund stands for and answer all your financial queries/doubts...  Today, with its ongoing progress, seems it will achieve its goal soon.
