Our Services

What services do you offer?

Financial Planning, Mutual Funds, PMS & AIF, Health & Life Insurance, Retirement Planning, and Estate & Succession Planning.

What is goal-based financial planning?

We tie every rupee you invest to a real-life goal — a home, your child's education, retirement — with timelines and target amounts, then track and adjust it over time.

Do you create a written financial plan?

Yes. We map your income, expenses, assets and liabilities and build a written, goal-based roadmap you can act on.

How often will my plan be reviewed?

We review with you at least annually, and rebalance as markets and your life change.

Can you handle everything in one place?

Yes — one advisor for mutual funds, insurance, PMS/AIF, retirement and estate planning, coordinated together.

Do you serve NRIs?

Yes. We help NRIs invest in India with NRE/NRO-compliant accounts, FEMA-aware planning and remote reviews across time zones.

Mutual Funds & SIP

What is a SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan lets you invest a fixed amount every month into a mutual fund, building discipline and averaging out market ups and downs.

What is the minimum SIP amount?

Most funds allow SIPs starting at ₹500/month.

Lump sum or SIP — which is better?

It depends on your cash flow and goals. SIPs suit regular savers; lump sums suit windfalls. We help you choose the right mix.

Which mutual funds should I invest in?

We select a mix of equity, debt and hybrid funds matched to your goals and risk profile — see live top funds by category on our Mutual Funds page.

Can I see live fund performance?

Yes — our Mutual Funds service page shows live NAVs and 1Y/3Y/5Y returns for top funds in each category.

What are ELSS funds?

Equity-Linked Savings Schemes are tax-saving mutual funds eligible under Section 80C, with a 3-year lock-in.

Can I stop or pause my SIP?

Yes, SIPs are flexible — you can pause, modify or stop them. We'll guide you so it doesn't derail your goals.

How are mutual funds taxed?

Taxation depends on fund type and holding period (equity vs debt, short vs long term). We help you plan tax-efficiently — but consult a tax advisor for specifics.

Insurance

What insurance do you advise on?

Term life cover, health/mediclaim, and savings-linked plans (ULIPs) where appropriate — sized to your needs, not sold to you.

How much life cover do I need?

A common rule is 10–15× your annual income, adjusted for liabilities and goals. We calculate the right figure for you.

Term plan or ULIP — which should I pick?

Term plans are pure, low-cost protection. ULIPs combine insurance with investment. We recommend based on your goals — usually protection first.

Do you help with health insurance?

Yes — we help choose family health cover with the right sum insured and features, and assist at claim time.

Can you help if I already have policies?

Yes. We review existing policies to check for gaps, overlaps or overpriced cover.

Retirement & Goals

How much do I need to retire?

It depends on your expenses, inflation and longevity. Use our Retirement Calculator for an estimate, then we refine it together.

Do you have calculators I can use?

Yes — SIP, Retirement and Goal-planning calculators are on the Tools page, each with a growth chart.

How do I plan for my child's education?

We project the future cost, then design a SIP/investment plan to reach that corpus in time.

What is NPS and should I use it?

The National Pension System is a retirement-focused, tax-advantaged scheme. We advise whether and how it fits your plan.

How do I get a regular income after retirement?

Through strategies like SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plans) and a careful asset mix that balances income and capital preservation.

Tax Planning

Can you help me save tax?

Yes — we plan tax-efficiently around Section 80C (ELSS, insurance), NPS, capital gains and more, integrated with your overall plan.

What qualifies under Section 80C?

ELSS funds, life insurance premiums, PPF, NPS, principal on home loans and more, up to ₹1.5 lakh per year.

How are capital gains taxed?

Rates differ for equity vs debt and short vs long holding periods. We help structure investments to be tax-efficient.

When should I start tax planning?

At the start of the financial year — not in March. Early planning lets you use SIPs and avoid last-minute decisions.

Do you file my taxes?

We focus on tax-efficient planning. For filing, we can coordinate with a qualified tax professional.

PMS & AIF

What is PMS?

Portfolio Management Services are professionally managed, higher-conviction portfolios for larger investors, with transparent reporting.

What is an AIF?

Alternative Investment Funds are pooled vehicles (Category I, II, III) offering strategies beyond traditional mutual funds, for qualifying investors.

Who should consider PMS/AIF?

Typically HNIs with larger portfolios seeking diversification and professional, concentrated management.

What is the minimum investment?

PMS in India generally requires a minimum of ₹50 lakh. AIF minimums are usually ₹1 crore. We'll confirm specifics for each product.

Account, KYC & Safety

What documents do I need to start?

Usually PAN, Aadhaar, a bank account and a photograph for KYC. We guide you through the full process.

How do I complete KYC?

We help you complete mutual fund KYC online or with physical forms — it's a one-time process.

How do I track my investments?

You'll get consolidated portfolio reporting, and you can log in to the investor portal (Investor Login button in the header).

Are my investments safe with MJ Wealth?

Your money is always invested in your own name with the fund houses/registrars — MJ Wealth acts as a distributor and advisor, never holding your funds.

What are your fees?

For mutual funds we're compensated via standard distributor commissions built into the product. Any advisory fees are disclosed upfront — no hidden charges.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your details are used only to contact you and manage your investments, and are never sold.
