Add Inflation to Retirement Goals
Inflation has a big impact on retirement corpus, Aziz said. In order to calculate the actual return, it is important to add inflation to it. Make sure to calculate inflation in your retirement planning, he suggested. It is also important to aim for an amount that is 3 - 4% above the inflation rate, he further said. This will help you to make a better strategy. Inflation hit planning is the right investment strategy, he added.

Calculation of Inflation
Amount on Retirement                  Rs 1 crore
Inflation rate                                        7.79%
Duration                                           20 years
Amount after 20 years              Rs 4.48 crore

Assess Risk Appetite
The expert said to keep your risk low near retirement is always beneficial. As an example - After 45 years 70% equity and 30% debt is correct. Whereas after 55 years 60% equity and 40% debt is correct.

Asset Allocation Required
The CEO of Anandrathi Management suggested choosing Debt Fund, PPF, and FD in the debt category. He suggested investing in equity funds in the equity category. In a low salary bracket, investing in fixed income is good. Whereas in the high salary bracket, it is a good idea to invest in debt funds.
