On Monday, Liz Truss was elected as the leader of the ruling Conservative Party and the country’s next Prime Minister. The statement on Monday marked the start of Boris Johnson’s leadership transition after weeks of a contentious and frequently tense party leadership election that pitted Truss against the former finance minister and person of Indian descent Rishi Sunak. Truss received 81,326 votes, defeating Rishi Sunak, who received 60,399 votes, to become the Conservative Party’s new leader. The nation is presently going through a recession, industrial unrest, and a problem with the cost of living.

“Over the next two years, we must demonstrate our ability to deliver. I’ll present a daring strategy to reduce taxes and expand our economy, “Truss remarked following the declaration of the outcome.” I will solve the energy issue, taking care of people’s energy bills while also tackling the long-term challenges we have with energy supply,” the speaker continued. Members of the Tory party started selecting Sunak or Truss as their preferred candidate at the beginning of August. The polls closed on Friday evening. 

Nearly 52% of respondents stated that Truss would make a “poor” or “awful” Prime Minister, and 43% said they had “no faith” in her handling the problems caused by the high cost of living. Another 37% of Britons think she will largely be like her predecessor. In a postal ballot among the roughly 160,000 Conservative electors, the two candidates competed to succeed outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Johnson was forced to make his departure public in July after being mired in a scandal for several months. Johnson will take a flight to Scotland on Tuesday to give Queen Elizabeth his resignation. Someone who succeeds him will be faced with creating a government.

Truss, who had been the front-runner in the contest to succeed Johnson, was elected as the fourth prime minister for the Conservatives since the 2015 election. Since then, the country has seen a series of crises, and it is currently experiencing what is anticipated to be a protracted recession caused by surging inflation, which peaked in July at 10.1%. Having served as Johnson’s foreign minister, Truss has promised to act quickly to address Britain’s dilemma of rising living costs. She has said that within a week, she will draft a plan to deal with rising energy costs and ensure a future fuel supply.

Menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) are essential to the physiological well-being and empowerment of both women and adolescent girls. More than 300 million are menstruating at any moment, and the data shows, on the whole, around 500 million lack access to menstrual products and competent facilities relating to menstrual hygiene management (MHM). To adequately manage menstruation, girls and women require access to affordable sanitation and hygiene facilities. Though menstruation is a normal and healthy part of life, it still continues to be constrained by cultural taboos and discriminatory social norms in society. The lack of information leads to unhygienic and unhealthy menstrual practices creating misconceptions that lead to shaming, bullying, and even gender-based violence. Owing to this, several brands, along with supplying personal care and feminine hygiene products, are also creating awareness in society. Such a brand that is working towards serving humanity, especially females, is FemiSafe.

The brand is considered to be a women’s best friend and strives to ingest their pain making life easy and comfortable. The sustainable menstruation hygiene brand spares no effort to address the customer’s pain point and be vocal about sexual health and the problems nobody talks about. Catering to this, FemiSafe, through Instagram, corroborates their ideas by taking the help of influencers to bring awareness to society about menstrual hygiene. While working towards being India’s No.1 feminine hygiene and personal care brand, it investigated various problems related to menstruation and launched products to resolve the issue. Such one product is a longer stem menstrual cup. Having different anatomies, it gets difficult for a person who is tall or has a higher cervix to find a menstrual cup that fits perfectly. The longer stem menstrual cup solves these issues and provides an ideal fit menstrual cup. Simultaneously, people with the lower cervix can just cut the stem, making it suitable.

Apart from the menstrual cup, there are a variety of products that the firm deals with. Few to name are menstrual cup sterilisers, face razors, body razors, aloe vera gel, and herbal intimate wash. The herbal intimate wash is one of the few herbal intimate washes available. In addition, FemiSafe is the first in India to launch a non-electrical affordable steriliser to disinfect the menstrual cup. To create awareness about sexual health and bust myths relating to the menstrual cup, the brand went to different colleges, took live sessions on the topics, and distributed menstrual cups at the end of the session.

Talking about the idea behind the inception of such a crucial firm, Co-Founder Noureen Aisha said, “The idea to dawn the company was conceived during the mid-Pandemic. Since my early days, I have been more inclined toward building awareness in society. With time, I learned that feminine care and personal hygiene are barely explored areas leading to an unhygienic and unhealthy menstrual process. When the Pandemic hit the country, there was limited access to sanitary napkins and the troubles of disposing of them, along with various menstrual health issues that came with it. All this chaos inspired me and my husband, Naseef Nazar, to create a brand purely for menstrual hygiene products.”

“In addition, Co-Founder Naseef Nazar said, “Our very first products were menstrual cups made of 100% medical-grade silicone and the Silicone Sterilisation Cups used to sterilise menstrual cups. We aim to break the stigmas and taboos revolving around menstruation and feminine hygiene and intend to introduce many pathbreaking products in the near future.”

Standing out from the crowd, FemiSafe focuses on South India, especially Tier II and Tier III cities, unlike other companies. Incepted in December 2020, the brand is also a part of the Kerala government’s awareness campaign where Kerala MP will distribute one lakh menstrual cups for free. The brand is also vocal about sexual health and promotes it through various campaigns and social media. Apart from being accessible on their website, the company’s products are also available on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Snapdeal, and many more. The Kochi-based couple is taking pains to bring attention to menstrual hygiene and launch products for people’s benefit.

The capital and commodity markets are fascinating places to make money and fulfil your financial goals. However, not everyone understands market volatility to place pinpoint bets. SIP or a Systematic Investment Plan is a preferred route for such investors. SIP schemes help you beat volatility and earn consistent profits. This article defines what a SIP is, its benefits and factors to consider before investing in SIPs.

What is a SIP Scheme?

SIP is the abbreviated form of Systematic Investment Plan. Investors can invest in mutual funds in two broad ways – lumpsum and SIP.

Lumpsum investment refers to a single payment of INR 5,000 or more. Lumpsum also refers to any investment of INR 1,000 or more in an active mutual fund scheme. In contrast, a SIP means investment at fixed intervals. SIP investments depend on the scheme type and fund house. The minimum investment is usually INR 500 and may extend up to INR 2,000 per month.

The most common mode of investing in a SIP is the monthly mode. So, if you opt for the monthly investment mode, the investment amount will be automatically deducted from your bank account. However, besides the monthly mode, you can also opt for the quarterly, half-yearly, or annual mode of SIP investment.

SIP investments are possible in equity, debt, commodity and index funds. However, not all mutual fund schemes allow SIP investments. As a fact, only open-ended mutual fund schemes allow a SIP.

Unlike close-ended mutual fund schemes, SIP schemes do not have maturity dates. Some schemes have been running for more than three decades. The best feature of a SIP is that you may withdraw your investment any time you want. However, it is good to know that withdrawals before one year from the investment date are generally chargeable, as AMCs levy a 1% exit load on withdrawals before a year. 

Now that you know what a SIP is, let’s discover why you must include a SIP to make your portfolio attractive. The following sections also mention the factors you must consider when investing in SIP schemes.

Why Investing in SIP Schemes is a Must for Healthy Capital Growth?

Compounded Capital Growth

Investing in SIP is crucial for earning compound interest. This is because compound interest provides faster capital growth since your investment earns interest on interest. So, if you invest INR 20,000 in the first year and get an interest of INR 2,000 or 10%, the interest will be calculated on INR 22,000 and not INR 20,000 in the following year. Hence, SIP investments can fetch excellent returns if you stay invested for the long term. 

Before investing in a SIP scheme, you must check its past performance since a high growth fund offers better opportunities to make money by providing stable returns. PGIM Mutual Fund SIP schemes, for instance, have consistently delivered better-than-benchmark returns and can suit your investment needs well.

Stop Worrying About Volatility 

Depending on an investor’s experience, volatility might be their friend or foe. Investors lose money if they do not understand volatility. However, if someone understands volatility well, the market can make them richer than they ever expected. But, as a fact, only 5% of all investors understand volatility. 

So, if you are unaware of volatility, SIP investments might be your best bet. SIP allows you to invest in all market conditions – bullish, bearish, and sideways. And since your investment spreads out, the risk of capital loss reduces. 

Although SIP schemes are designed to minimise losses, timing is crucial to identifying the right investment time. You must analyse the market condition to enter a SIP scheme and try to top it up with a lump sum when the market is down. This can expedite capital growth and enable you to fulfil your financial goals quickly.

Conclusion

Finding a suitable SIP scheme is vital to realise the full potential of mutual funds in India. PGIM Mutual Fund presents a host of opportunities to benefit from the high-growth Indian markets. Check the top-performing SIP schemes to make a wise decision.

Q: How did you get into music? What drew you into this world?
Franck: At the age of 7, I had already started playing the saxophone and for the majority of my childhood and teenage years I was very interested in Jazz. And since this initial introduction to music, I’ve been continuing my journey with music.

Q: What would you say is the most gratifying part of music production?
Franck: Oh god where do I begin…. I believe that music production is the canvas, lyrics, symphonies and beats all go over the production. You can explore and experiment with genres and sounds as a producer and it is always an artistically satisfying experience. But the most gratifying part is how music production can conserve music. If you have a good sound, then your music will live on and transcend boundaries. And if you find a hidden gem of a song, you can tweak its production and remix it so modern audiences can connect with such masterpieces.

Q: Your music career has been soaring high, where do you wish to steer it for the future?

On Thursday Delhi’s chief minister Arvind Kejriwal gave a statement saying that AAP’s support has increased in Gujarat after CBI conducted a raid on Manish Sisodia in the ‘fake’ liquor case. While delivering his speech at the assembly ahead of the trust vote which AAP had won along with 59 MLAs present at the house, Kejriwal said that there has already been a 4% increase in the vote share, now if Sisodia gets arrested then the increase will be 6% and if he gets arrested twice then AAP will most likely be able to have a government in Gujurat. 

Kejriwal further added, “CBI officials failed to find anything from Manish Sisodia, they neither found anything from his residence nor from his village or bank locker. They have now understood that there is no case, however, they are under pressure and they did tell us that they will have to arrest Sisodia once. Sisodia has told them that he will go to CBI whenever they want to arrest him. So this is assured that Sisodia will be arrested. But the whole nation is watching us getting certificates from PM Modi again and again. That is because an arrest is part of politics which will keep going on.” 

Commenting on the ongoing debates on television, Kejriwal added, “These debates going on about schools on television are disheartening. They are questioning why have I made so many schools, why these schools have multiple washroom facilities and why are there so many classrooms. Tell me, what’s our fault in all of this? You send your children to school in another nation. However, my motive is to ensure that underprivileged children in this country receive a high-quality education.” Referring to his two IIT-educated children, Kejriwal stated that he wants to provide everyone in the country with the education that he and his children acquired.

“The purpose of today’s trust vote is to demonstrate that the BJP cannot purchase everything. They are buying state legislators in every state. They started in Maharashtra and then moved on to Jharkhand. They were willing to pay Rs 800 crore for our 40 MLAs but were unable to purchase even one of them,” Kejriwal stated.
