Investors workshop in Bangalore by freefincal.com-Don’t miss it !!!

If you want to learn the basics of Financial Planning and Goal Based Investing and you belong to Bangalore, then gear up for the meet organized by Mr. Pattu who runs a blog freefincal.com.

If you are following my blog constantly, then you might have come across the name of Mr.Pattu or about his blog. Because he posted one guest post on my blog and I published a few posts about his wonderful calculators. However, if you missed about who is he, and then here is a short profile of Mr. Pattu… a KOC (King of Calculator). I am posting the same lines of what he mentioned about him in his blog.

“My name is M. Pattabiraman aka pattu. I am a physicist working at IIT, Madras. I seem to have a strong interest in personal finance calculations! I would like to use this platform to host the excel based calculators I have created for financial planning. All calculators are provided free of cost.”

Few of his posts, which he wrote or I mentioned about his calculators, are as below.

• Excel PPF Calculator-Calculate goal, loan or withdrawal amounts
• Mutual Fund Performance-Trailing Return or Rolling Returns?
• Budget 2014-Debt Mutual Funds Taxation
• Calculator to Compare Lump Sum Investment Returns

Why you need to attend this meeting?

• There is no intention of selling anything. So a pure knowledge sharing of what he learnt.
• Neither he gains nor does he lose anything. Reason is he is not in the financial advisory business. Instead, he is doing it as a passion.
• No mutual fund companies or insurance companies behind this meet. Usually when you attend to investors meet then you will find many sponsors to the meet. In turn, they try to pitch their product. However, this is not such business minded meet.
• This meet is neither FREE nor HIGHLY PRICED. It is not free because to organize such events usually there will be few expenses such as the cost of the hall rent, lunch and audiovisual arrangements and travelling expenses, which in this event will be shared equally by all participants. At the same time, it is not highly priced. If you visit few investors meet then the price will be anywhere between Rs.3, 000 to Rs.20, 000 for a day event, based on how lavish the event will be 🙂 So do not expect such luxuries in this event. It is purely a knowledge sharing and educative event.
• Before attending his event, you can check his knowledge by visiting his blog. You will find tons of free calculators, which surprise you how this can be possible for a man who is neither financial professional nor adviser 🙂
• This is organized by his followers, but not by himself.
