Radhika Gupta, the managing director and chief executive officer of Edelweiss Asset Management Company (AMC), recently revealed that she started a systemic investment plan (SIP) for her son when he was just six months old.
Taking to microblogging site X (formerly known as Twitter), Ms Gupta revealed the age at which each generation in her family started investing in equities. While she began investing for her son when he was just six months old, she herself began investing in equities only at the age of 24. Her father, on the other hand, was over the age of 40 when he began building his portfolio, Ms Gupta said.
"Age at which each generation started investing in equities: Dad: 40+ years. Me: 24 years. Son: 6 months," Radhika Gupta tweeted, adding, "Financial freedom is about starting earlier and earlier!"
