As with every investment objective, you need to start early. With the on-going upward trend in education expenses, the earlier you start planning out for your kid’s future, the better

Don’t dig into your savings during any stage of this planning process. Your retirement fund is of utmost importance and should be treated so
Increase the SIP amount every year to reduce the requirement. Make it as point to increase the SIP amount with the annual increase in your income
Since you have a longer time horizon to plan for, investing mainly in growth assets is preferred. You can put 80% of your investments in equity or balanced funds
Invest as per your risk appetite- if high then invest in stocks & equity funds, hybrid and balanced funds for medium risk and PPF or other tax free options for low risks
For parents with teenaged children, the investment plan should focus on capital appreciation. Since the goal amount is just few years away, the equity exposure should not be more than 10-15%

Points To Remember:

For those parents whose children are about to join a college or to start their higher education but are short of funds, education loan comes to the rescue. But it is advisable to only go for loan when you want to bridge the gap between your savings and actual required amount
Create a separate portfolio for your child’s needs. Put in savings in the desired portfolio as per needs for education costs that may arise in the short, medium and long term
The key factor in ensuring a proper allocation of the investments are in the number of years left for achieving the set goals
Get an adequate life insurance cover so that any unfortunate event doesn’t leave your children with an unsure future
Plan your investments with diversified mutual fund schemes. Start the SIP with a right mix of large-cap and mid-cap funds while increasing the SIP amount annually
Do not disturb the savings created for your child for any other requirement than what it is created for. Your child deserves the best and do not let anything deter you from the path of fulfilling your child’s dreams
