Yasser Ahmed Khan on investing in India from Dubai
Managing money across two countries had kept his decisions defensive. In his account, a personalised, goal-linked plan replaced the conservative default — and gave him a reason not to react to every market movement.

What this covers
FinEdge's published account describes the plan being built around his own goals, income and risk capacity through Dreams into Action, rather than around a product list.
The part he emphasises is discipline: staying focused on long-term goals through fluctuation, which is the decision most cross-border investors find hardest to hold.
Distance complicates the logistics, not the principles: a goal-linked plan still decides the behaviour.

Hi everyone.
I thought of just taking this opportunity to share my experience of having been closely advised by the team at FinEdge.
I've now spent almost 10 years being advised on what to invest in, how to invest, and how to become more financially sound and financially aware.
My background is that I used to work in the Indian Army before moving into the corporate world.
Coming from that background, I was very conservative in my investment decisions, mostly buying insurance with money-back plans and typically investing in fixed deposits.
I used to visit FinEdge in a different capacity, not as an investor. But then I realized that there was so much happening there, and I started becoming interested in what FinEdge does.
I realized that I should start taking investing more seriously. My family was growing, I had greater financial commitments, and I understood the value of having a team of highly qualified financial advisers who could prudently guide me on where and how I should invest.
This also was coupled with a change in me moving to the Middle East. I've spent the last 19 years in the UAE, Dubai and Qatar. I think many people like me are looking for opportunities to invest back in India and work towards becoming financially secure by planning for goals such as supporting their family, their children's future, their marriage, and eventually living a debt-free life after their working years.
I feel extremely fortunate to have met the people at FinEdge. When I look back over the past 10 years, I'm very happy with the decisions that FinEdge and I jointly agreed to make.
I would strongly recommend FinEdge to anyone looking for conflict-free financial advice and thoughtful investment choices. I'm confident that this recommendation is something you will value throughout your life.
Thank you so much.
