PPFAS MF will complete 10 years this month. A CAGR of 19% (on Flexicap). AUM up 200 times from 150 crore to 30,000 crore. A remarkable success story. But what’s the DNA behind it? I would argue 4 things:

Commercial real estate or any real estate also needs diversification from investment point of view. Most of us can't afford to invest in multiple such units and therefore are extremely vulnerable to concentration risk.
I personally avoid RE all together. Not my cup of tea.

Salaries are lower in western Europe and cost of living more as compared to US.
If you want to earn big as salaried but ready to compromise family and personal life US is best. If you want to earn big and come back to India Singapore or Dubai is great.

I have a friend who worked at Deutsche Bank and had ESOPs but stopped the compunding and moved to a place with higher salary. In hindsight that person looks like a genius.
Opinions should not be based on survivorship bias
Finfluencers use the term High Yeild Bonds and never Junk Bonds although both mean the same. They are paid by platforms to lure retail investors in buying junk.
Never take unwanted risk in debt for 1-2% higher interest. Return of capital is more important than return on capital
I regularly invest in High Yield Bonds – because I have the appetite and the right understanding of the risk that I am taking. And so far it has been a good ride. I’m quite open about my investments too.
But, many times people come up to me and tell “Yaar Handa, the ticket
Start investing as soon as you get your first job.
A 22 year old guy started SIP of Rs. 12,000 per month with us today.
Assuming that he continues it till the age of 55 years, at 12% pa returns, he will have a corpus of over Rs. 5 crores 🤯🤯🤯

is the reason why all investors (active, passive, direct stocks, PMS, AIF etc) should read this article by John Bogle.
Its time investors learn to differentiate between an educator and a salesman.
Statistics are like bikinis, they hide more than they reveal.
Long term returns from active flexicap funds in India have mostly beaten the Nifty (which is the only index with a long standing ETF)
The math, indeed, never lies.

Just heard a clubhouse gyani saying....
Getting 20 to 25 percent per year is no big deal in equity. One should aim to atleast double money every three years when investing for retirement.
I heard such Gyan in 2007 also.
@StableInvestor
Someone in the finance ministry just realized that they have to return the money they have borrowed and that too at the present gold price 😂😂😂
MFDs will get commissions year after year and Louis Vuitton bags as gifts from AMCs while you will keep investing in high cost active funds in the hope of alpha.
Still investing in regular plans, idiots!

Basant is a smart talker and knows how to build a fanbase. Many years ago he fooled people buying into Hawkins at absurd valuations but himself sold the stock on the sly.
An extremely greedy and cunning manipulator.
I would advise market newbies to avoid his smallcase.
From 2003 to 2007 end the Nifty went up 6 times. Yes 6 times in 5 years.
I entered the market in the middle of 2004 and yet when the bull market ended in 2008, I had lost everything I had made.
Of of my biggest regrets in life will be not sticking to basics during that phase.
DSP equity savings fund holds 40 percent equity on an average. It has a mandate to go higher too.
Equity is a very risky asset class. Not correct to compare such equity heavy products with annuity.
Central bank driven bull markets don't last for ever.
Annuity is the stupidest product for everyone.
Rather park funds in Ppfas conservative MF/Quantum multi-asset/DSP equity savings and start a monthly SWP. It will outlive you and ur Annuity payouts.
Or, eat Chole bhatura every morning, so you never outlive ur corpus
@UmeshPunde1
Makes 2.5 percent per annum just as fees. Transaction charges and other costs come in addition.
Buy an index fund with TER of 0.1 percent.

Even after seeing this chart people will subscribe to small case. Back testing always can make any fund strategy look good in hindsight even if it's run by a complete crook.
Charlie Ellis:"If you go back 50 years ago,there were a small number of people who made their living as analysts,and a small number of people made their living as portfolio managers, maybe as many as 500 people in the world. And today, it’s somewhere between 1.5-2 million people"
Chacha ,
please ask your fund managers to beat the index first before doing gyaanbazi on TV . Even after loading this PMS scheme with midcaps couldn't beat NSE 500 for years. 💩💩💩

I have heard and seen more of Radhika Gupta in last 1.5 years than Sankaran Naren in last 15 years.
Surely that cannot be a good thing.
Or may be that is how new age mutual fund CXOs are supposed to be and I am too old to understand it.
Anyone who claims to be able to pick 10 stocks from Nifty 50 to generate alpha is just an charlatan trying to get rich risk free while putting the investors at enormous risk.

PMS managers need just one cycle right. They can enjoy the rest of their life pretending to do organic farming in a lavish farm house.
Investors should think 10 times before placing all their money in one PMS.
No they are not jealous but you definitely aspire to make big money being a finfluencer yourself just like her without an iota of regulation.
Fininfluencing is just about making money without any accountability.
Both MFDs and RIAs have accountability. A finfluencer doesn't.
This full page ad featuring Rachana has irritated a few people on Twitter.
I would argue that they are just a jealous bunch.
She has done more to educate and empower Indians about personal finance than all the RIAs would do in their lifetime.
Every MFD will tell you stories about how doing SIPs for 30 years will make you wealthy but will never show you this maths. Your returns are assumed but your MFDs commission is guaranteed.
Direct plans hi Sahi hai.
Active Bet: Risk 20% to 30% of your corpus to earn higher returns than the market, despite an 80-90% failure rate.
Passive Bet: Pay 1% of your corpus to earn the market return.

India has 40 and 50 million stray dogs, which are the main vectors of transmission of the rabies.
Rabies is disease with 100% mortality and killing 21,000 people per year in India.
Preventing stray dogs from roaming around is a must if India wants to be a real economic power.
I have been doing a monthly SIP for the last 7years in an index fund tracking the MSCI Emerging Markets index.
After 7 years my returns are 0%.
No SIP salesman will tell you this.

Hang Seng index was higher in Feb 2000 than it is now! How do you even justify this? No other market in the world has lost investors money like China.
BM Chacha’s performance is getting worse and worse even though Nifty is at all time high.
I am sure net of exorbitant fees, brokerage and other cost the performance is far worse.
Actually investors have lost money when Nifty is up 10%.

He is regarded as a clown among real statisticians. Here is a review of him by a renowned statistician Aldous.
At the best he is a glorified market punter and not a real statistician. Ignore him.
I find it amusing when people look at 10/15 years return data for an index that was launched 3 months ago.
Yes you read it right!
NSE indices launched Nifty MidSmallcap400 Momentum Quality 100 indx on 8/2/24
Don't fall prey to factor mining &curve fitting in passive products
I think the real problem is when a PMS manager whose PMS has been underperforming on the last 2 year and 3 year trailing returns starts a mutual fund to generate alpha for investors.
Prashant Jain was rarely seen on business channels when he was CIO at HDFC MF.
After launching his own AIF, he is on TV every alternate day 😂. Asset gathering not possible without CNBC.

Foreign trips and booze/ caberet at 5⭐ hotels were a norm in the mutual fund industry too before SEBI stopped upfront commissions.
Very few regulators empower the retail investors by giving the opportunity to bypass the middle man.
Long live SEBI and direct plans.

Retail investors should stick to low cost, broad market index funds like Nifty 50, NSE 100 and not worry about individiual stocks entering sectoral indices.
Aur karlo indexing, jio financial services entering a core infra index.
Creating indices by NSE, maybe BSE as well has become questionable and investing in it by the general public even more so..
Got a call from Kotak bank sales rep asking me to do equity SIPs.
I politely said I already have a SIP running.
The sales rep says the bank has specially recommended funds for doing SIPs which are updated every month. And this list is exclusively prepared by Mr Uday Kotak.

Manipulation to gather market share in passive ETF space. Customer acquisition cost!!!
Low cost ETF of less than 10 bps needs large AUM high volume.

After working as a doctor for 14 years, I realized that it's not worth continuing.

Gave up and moved to Norway & I am not regretting it.
Meetings/ annual letters/ investment process/or other forms of blogs which are just text converted to PDFs, don’t work if an active manager fails to generate alpha.
Active funds are created with the objective of beating the benchmark. That’s unfortunately the hard truth.
This data is gold.
No AMC or AMFI would be expected to ever publish this - even though they all have this data.

I would rather wish that Indians get a 401K like account where all equity funds won't be taxed on redemption, transfer or switch to another equity fund. Only when profits are taken out will they be taxed.
Retirement should be taken seriously by the government. We are aging fast.
@Datta_karan
Please don't distort facts. No one was promoting SIPs. 20 years ago, the greedy vultures were busy switching from one fund to the other. They were busy pushing closed ended funds in lure of 6 percent upfront commissions.
Only when SEBI removed upfront touts started SIP selling.
