CA Nitin Kaushik's recent insights highlight a critical issue in wealth management among Indian households, where 66% of total assets are tied up in physical forms such as real estate and gold. He points out that only 20% of personal wealth in India is invested in financial assets, one of the lowest rates globally. This heavy reliance on tangible investments creates a liquidity problem, as assets like property and gold do not generate income or can be difficult to liquidate in times of need. For instance, a ₹1 crore flat yielding ₹25,000 a month represents a mere 3% return with zero liquidity. Kaushik advocates for a mindset shift towards investments that work for individuals while they sleep, such as equities and mutual funds, which can offer both liquidity and the potential for growth. By diversifying into financial instruments, individuals can better manage their wealth and ensure access to funds when necessary.
