In the previous video, we learned how simple the personal finance math is. Now, in your personal finance journey, once you've understood the basic concepts like compounding and time value of money, you'll look for ways to invest your savings.

There are various regulatorily approved structures for managing money like:
1. Portfolio management services (PMS)
2. Alternative investment funds (AIF)
