Foreword
Iam pleased to give a foreword to Money Does Matter
written by Shri. CS. Krishnamurthy.
Krishnamurthy is known to me personally for many years. I am one among the few who have seen him growing up in his life from his childhood to that of an experienced banker and well respected in India and in the Gulf Region.
He is vastly experienced in the areas of commercial Banking, Asset Management portfolios and at the senior levels in the industry. After retirement from active service in the banks, he has taken up the role of being a guide to share his experience through his periodical articles on investments covering the whole aspect of the same. These articles numbering more than 250 have been published in leading newspapers.
A reading of the articles covered in this book clearly brings out the deep analytical skills he has acquired in his professional exposures in the area of investments in the financial assets.
With such experience it is no wonder that the articles published in the book covers all aspects right from choosing an investment, whether it is in the form of a Fixed Deposit with a bank or in equities or in a Mutual fund and the critical issues that need to be addressed with regard to these investments.
I am happy to note that the main issues like guidance and precautions to be exercised including safeguarding against the spammers and cyber thieves have been explained in a simple manner so the readers can understand easily and derive benefits. Other matters like the value and benefits of a Will by the investors have been brought out in a simple way.
As a reader of the book, I could understand the subjects covered by Shri. Krishnamurthy easily and am confident to derive the intended benefits. I am confident that the readers will benefit significantly.
I wish him all success in his endeavors.

FOREWORD
It is with great pleasure that I reflect on my more than five decades of acquaintance with CS Krishnamurthy, fondly known as CSK by most of us. Over the years, I have witnessed his remarkable transformation from a humble letters to the editor
contributor to a seasoned writer and matured finance guru. Personally, I owe my introduction to mutual fund investment through Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) to him, and I’m grateful for his counselling and knowledge sharing. His journey has been nothing short of inspiring.
In recent years, CSK has consistently contributed articles across various reputable English newspapers, covering a diverse range of subjects. While predominantly finance-related, his articles delve into distinct segments, touching on crucial topics such as early-age savings, the importance of emergency funds, the imperative need for us to craft our Will, and the fundamentals as well as intricacies of investment through mutual funds. He has also addressed issues like bank security concerns and a myriad of interrelated subjects. Most of these articles serve as a wellspring of knowledge, drawing from CSK’s personal experiences.
I commend CSK for the dedicated effort and time invested in crafting each of these articles, which undergo extensive research, factual verification, and rounds of editing to ensure authenticity and clarity for the reader. He studied Journalism from the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Chennai. His effective writing style is evident in his narratives.
In many of his writings, I can see his passion for savings and investments apart from the words that flow from his more than thirty plus years of work experience in Indian and foreign banks. I would strongly urge young adults as well as others, who are just getting into their career to read this book which will benefit them immensely. Whether you plan to retire early, or to create a corpus for your later years, or you want to know the basic bank security and safety measures, this book has something for you. And all these are dished out in some simple to understand and non-technical language.
It brings me immense joy and excitement to learn that CSK has compiled a selection of his articles titled Money Does Matter
. These carefully chosen pieces from his extensive body of work, promise to be eye-opener for the common man without a financial background.
I extend my best wishes to CSK and eagerly look forward to the release of many more books from his pen in the future. Remember, he has penned several articles in diverse subjects –social, lifestyle, education, English language and its nuances, and many more. May his literary contributions continue to enlighten and empower readers! Money Does Matter
is just the beginning!

Introduction
As I sit back in my study, reflecting on my long banking and investing experience, I recall the decision I had taken in my younger days that I should share my experiences with persons who have savings built up through their hard work so that they will benefit and deal with the related risks confidently. This has encouraged me to embark on this journey with a sense of privilege and responsibility.
I’m thrilled to present to you my musings and insights in the financial realm, now compiled in this book – MONEY DOES MATTER
. The articles you would be reading with interest are based on what I have observed and my sincere wish that every investor has a right to protect it with the full knowledge of issues that are required to be understood. My efforts in the book are to bring out the important issues that need to be dealt with in respect of the investment and prevailing conditions. I am sure readers will make full use of these points and benefit.
I wish to say that each issue covered by my articles by themselves are large, and I
