What is the Engineering Degree College 2037 Package?
The Arthgyaan Package is a targeted investment plan for financing an engineering degree, helping parents systematically save for their child’s future education.
The Engineering Degree College 2037 package is a mutual fund bundle aimed at building a ₹25 lakh corpus (in today’s value) by 2037 to help pay for an undergraduate engineering degree. The funds will be used over four years, starting in 2037, to cover admission, tuition, hostel/mess and other expenses.
This plan is for children who are around 6 years old today and will be applying for engineering college admission in 2037.

How does the package work?
The package consists of a bundle of mutual fund investments, supporting both lump-sum and SIP contributions. Fund selection, whether equity, debt, hybrid, or cash is based on an asset allocation strategy suitable for a 12-year goal.
The first aspect of the package is choosing the right funds and their allocation.
The second aspect is risk management, which involves systematically reducing equity exposure as the goal nears and rebalancing whenever the allocation deviates from the target.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the Engineering Degree College 2037 Package
Why is the consultation meeting paid?
We believe that a paid meeting provides sufficient commitment from both parties to effectively utilise the meeting time. A single follow-up meeting within 60 calendar days is free.
Is the investment plan guaranteed?
Mutual funds do not provide return guarantees. The package of funds on this page does not provide any guarantee of returns implied or otherwise.
Why should I invest in this package if there are no guarantees?
Historically mutual funds have created wealth for investors. While mutual fund returns are not guaranteed, with proper planning and risk management, there is a higher chance of meeting your investment goals via mutual funds vs. investing in mutual funds without such a plan.
Which is the best mutual fund for investment?
There are 10,000+ mutual funds in India and the ranking of best funds changes daily. So, a much better approach is to create a plan that makes it more likely to reach the purpose of investment instead of looking for best returns. If you wish to learn more about investing without worrying about what the market is doing or which product to invest in next, then choose this Engineering Degree College 2037 Package or a similar package.

I am uncomfortable with taking too much risk. Should I invest in this package?
Every package can be customised for your risk-taking ability and willingness. One good thing about this package is that as the goal comes closer, your portfolio is automatically moved from risky to less risky funds via rebalancing when we review your progress towards the goal. Also, if you are not comfortable with any particular type of mutual funds, they will be excluded from the portfolio.
What if I wish to invest more or less than ₹19,840 monthly?
The SIP amount of ₹19,840 / month is as per the goal amount of ₹25 lakh. If you invest more or less, the final amount will also differ in the same proportion.
What if my goal amount is more than ₹25 lakh?
You must adjust the SIP amount for the new goal amount. For example, if the goal amount doubles, the SIP amount will also be doubled.
What if I don’t want to invest a lump sum today and start only the SIP?
In such a case, you must invest more than ₹19,840 monthly to reach the same goal.
Can I step up my SIP amount?
By default, we assume 5% step up in the total investment amount year-on-year. If you step up by a higher amount, the goal amount will likely be reached faster or be higher than ₹25 lakh.
Can I invest lump sums any time into the package?
Yes, you can. The amount of corpus you are expected to reach in 2037 will be different (typically more).
Can I stop my SIP anytime?
Yes, you can. The amount of corpus you are expected to reach in 2037 will be different (typically less).
How long do I have to invest?
The package assumes that you will be investing for the next 15 years. If you wish to invest for a shorter period, the amount you must invest starting today will then be higher than ₹19,840 per month.
Is there any insurance plan in this package?
No. However, to ensure that the goal is not disrupted due to the untimely death of the person whose income will be used to invest, they should take additional term insurance of around ₹26 lakh.

Is any personalised investment advice being provided?
No. In accordance with SEBI regulations, no personalised investment advice is being provided here.
