NDB Wealth Money Fund promotes ‘Saving and Investing Wisely’

NDB Wealth Management, having begun its momentous journey, 28 plus years ago, has always been at the forefront of identifying and advising clients on the best savings or investment solution whilst taking into consideration the potential risks associated therein.
Reviewing savings and investment accounts are vital to the financial wellbeing of individuals and businesses alike. Ensuring funds are in the right place and that risks are controlled is a critical factor for most investors. Every rupee invested should be safely guarded to ensure the investment does not suffer losses or face unnecessary risks. Doing this on your own can be a challenging task to most individuals, both in terms of time and money.
“Proper financial planning and management of funds is important to every person. Whether you are planning for your retirement or are saving for a rainy day, it’s important to know that you are doing the right thing for yourself, your family or even your business. Financial planning will give you the added flexibility of meeting unexpected expenses or indulging in a bit of luxury at those special occasions,” stated Amaya Nagodavithane, Fund Manager at NDB Wealth Management.
