THE FINSET LADDER
The FinSet Ladder.
Six steps in one fixed order. Each removes a risk that would otherwise undo the step above it, which is why the sequence never changes. Protection comes before returns.
No step may be skipped or reversed. A retirement SIP built on an uninsured life or an empty emergency fund is the most common and most expensive mistake in Indian personal finance. The Ladder fixes the order and names the products that do not belong on any step.
