Child Marriage Investments

Wedding costs in India are notoriously back-loaded and hard to estimate a decade in advance, which is exactly why a dedicated, goal-based investment plan works better than trying to fund it out of general savings when the time comes. Gold is a traditional favorite for this goal since jewelry is often part of the actual spend, but a mix that also includes equity SIPs typically builds a larger corpus over a 10-15 year horizon.

The guides here look at how to size a marriage corpus, compare Sovereign Gold Bonds against gold ETFs and physical gold for this specific goal, and structure a long-term SIP strategy that shifts toward safer instruments as the event date approaches — so the money is actually there, in a liquid form, when you need it.
