If the extended lockdowns of the last two years have taught us anything, it is the value of creating alternate streams of income. It has also taught us how non-negotiable it is to have an emergency fund that you can liquidate easily. Now that things are almost back to normal, it's time to put these lessons to use.
One of the easiest ways to grow one's investment is through SIPs. However, there are those of us who have a knack for investing: we understand how the market works, have confidence in our ability to navigate various investment avenues, and the ability to come out on top of our investments. We keep abreast of the latest developments, understand the risks and promise of future and options, and have made our share of profits in intraday sessions.
However, there are certain factors that add to uncertainty. Often, it's the little things: brokerage, hidden processing costs, limits on trades (that can blindside you when you least expect them!). Sometimes, the platform you use isn't performing at the level you expect it to, and that lag can hurt you. There are also times when the information isn't up to date or the platform makes you jump through hoops to make trades.
Isn't Technology There Yet?
It is.
m.Stock, a global technology-led brokerage platform by Mirae Asset, providing a superfast 1-click approach to trading. Its best-in-class interface processes thousands of orders per second. The platform is geared to handle up to 1.2 crore trades per day and 90,000 orders per second with 15 lakh users at the same time.
