By Leandra Monteiro

ICICIdirect, an online platform for investments, protection and loan products, announced the launch of LIFEY – Lifestage Investments for You. This is an innovative new tool aimed at helping customers to accomplish their “lifestage” milestones.

Commenting on the launch, Anupam Guha, Head – Private Wealth, ICICI Securities said, “Every individual seeks to achieve financial freedom. In this journey there are ‘lifestage milestones’ – like owning a new car, purchase of a house, saving for marriage expenses, higher education for children or wealth accumulation for retirement. ICICIdirect, through the launch of this new tool – LIFEY, will help customers take a well-planned step forward in this direction. LIFEY will assist customers in smart asset allocation and construction of carefully curated portfolios primarily consisting of mutual funds based on fund selection by ICICIdirect’s research. The recommendations are data-driven, based on customer’s risk-taking appetite, and aims to guide them in their financial journey.”

Guha further added, “LIFEY will also facilitate in building ‘do-it-yourself’ fund baskets and will also allow customers to create additional customized milestones based on their individual needs.”

ICICIdirect has always been at the forefront of bringing innovative investment solutions to its customers. With this new tool, ICICIdirect aims to not only provide their customers with the option to set life-stage milestones based on an individual’s financial capability and risk appetite but also provide a comprehensive dashboard. The dashboard further enables its customers to track their progress and provides customers with a seamless and intuitive way of managing their important lifestage milestones.
