The age of being average

One of the reasons for investing in Mutual funds is that since you are investing in a diversified fund with a manager who understands market, your returns will be better than what you can achieve on your own (since we fall prey to various Behavioral biases).

Review of the year gone by, 2015

Market participants would have entered 2015 with a lot of anticipation given the strong performance we saw in 2014 and expectations of a block buster budget which would hopefully take Nifty to highs never seen before.

But how far is those statements...

Future Uncertain! 5

Future Uncertain!

Many moons ago when my Sister was born, a relative of ours recommended a financial scheme where we invested X and when she reached 18, we would get back 1,00,000.00. In those days, 1,00,000 was a very huge sum. In fact, the cost of building a simple house more or less was equivalent to that amount. That sum was assumed...
