CORRECTION IS TEMPORARY, GROWTH IS PERMANENT

We are in similar position to what we were in 2013!!!
yes....By the looks of it....we sure are.
But are we??
Maybe yes.....Maybe no

If one studies the market level between 2014 and 2017, and look at both the ABSOLUTE returns as well as as the CAGR, at the index level...........then, we discover that SMALL CAP INDEX has delivered 30% CAGR.....YES!!! You read it right.....it is 30% indeed

Many fund have delivered even more than 30% in the Mid Cap Space itself

Many who saw the 2013 levels and selected the Large Cap funds to “PLAY SAFE” got sub-optimal returns than those who were BULLISH on the Mid and Small Cap space.

DATA IS TO INTEREPRET AND UNDERSTAND …..AND TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMISE WEALTH

Personally feel that the next 4 years will be go either the same way or infact much higher as far equity returns are concerned.

As usual, Mid and Small Cap Lovers will make tons of money.

TREAT EQUITY LIKE YOU TREAT LAND AND GOLD

The biggest issue with Indian Investors that when

1. GOLD prices fall, their first reaction is....GOOD.....Now I can buy more
2. 
   
3. When Land Prices fall, their reaction is ….CHALEGA....I AM HOLDING FOR LONG TERM

But when the same investors's mutual fund or equities fall, their reaction is....

IS THE END OF STOCK MARKETS....
Has my money gone??
Let me Take out whatever is left!!

When anyone is looking at selling off Real Estate and the land rates have fallen by 30%, their ONLY reaction is.....”WHY SHOULD I SELL NOW?? ITS DOWN BY 30%....i WILL WAIT”
but, the same investor, will not even blink when it comes to selling Equities even at a loss!!

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR NOTIONAL LOSS TO TURN INTO PERMANENT LOSS!!

History has proven to us that Gold and Real Estate take many many recover from a Bearish run and History has also proven to us that Equities take very little time to not only recover but also deliver superior returns than these 2 asset classes.

Even today, more than 130 LAKH CRORE money is SLEEPING in FIXED DEPOSITS which clearly shows that Indian investors do not understand the DEVIL OF INFLATION and still prefer the “assumed” SAFE investment....that is FD.

If Inflation is considered, then FD has generated NEGATIVE returns.

REMEMBER THIS....
When we are investing in Stock Markets...either directly or through the Mutual Fund route, the simple fact is we are INVESTING IN A BUSINESS.
Business is FOREVER and always has its ups and down.

No business, will do well all the time.

During Tough periods, either they reinvent or re engineer for the next stage. Business people WILL NEVER QUIT due to the downturn in their business and prepared to ride the volatility.

31^st January 2018 is the date which every investor will be looking at almost always.....as that is the day that Long Term Capital Gain Tax is applicable from.

Yes....your portfolio would have come down about 10% to even maybe 15% from that date.

But, this has happened many times before and Markets have bounced back with a vengeance every time.

And this kind of falls will again happen in future too. Its inevitable.

THE 2008 FALL!!!
EVERYONE TAKES ABOUT THE 2008 FALL

Many keep asking me....."is this the repeat of 2008 Fall"??

THE SENSEX FELL FROM 20873 ON 8TH JANUARY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 8160 ON 9TH MARCH 2009

…..

..

…

BUT, IT ROARED BACK TO 21,000 BY 5TH NOVEMBER 2010.
It was down by almost 61% but ROARED BY BAY 157%
The Bounce Back is sharper and BIGGER each time!!!

Nothing is permanent in Life. The Markets have their own minds and keep going through these phases of volatility.

And sadly, many investors (especially,, actually STOP their SIP during these falls. Absolute Foolishness!!!
SIP is exactly designed to create Wealth from these kind of falls.

In fact, if possible, YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY INVEST LUMPSUM OR INCREASE when these kind of falls happen.

These are Opportunities to be used. SIPs are actually more Beneficial in a Downward Market than in a Upward Market!!

Stopping SIP and worse, Redeeming at this point of time will only convert your temporary Notional Loss into a PERMANENT REAL LOSS!!

In investing as in auto racing, you don't have to win every lap to win the race, but YOU ABSOLUTELY DO HAVE TO FINISH THE RACE. 

You, my dear investors, belong to that RARE AND UNIQUE 5% of the Indian Population who believe in the Power of Equity and the India's Growth Story and most importantly, you understand that the MUTUAL FUND route is the BEST way to achieve all your LONG TERM FINANCIAL GOALS.

Now, it sure is a TESTING TIME and yes, it sure is a difficult to digest to see portfolio value coming down almost on a daily basis

As your Well Wisher, I can assure that this too is a passing phase and the Equity Returns will bounce back and bounce back with a vengeance.

As your Well Wisher, I keep a close eye on your portfolio and will keep you posted on all updates as usual. 

YOU CAN BE 100% SURE THAT YOU ARE IN SAFE HANDS.

And, just like GOLD and Real Estate, your Equity Mutual Fund investment too needs to be nurtured for LONG TERM.

Nobody likes to see their portfolio going DOWN but its essential to remember that these are NOTIONAL LOSS.  But Creating Wealth requires patience and only those who pass this test will get rewarded and rewarded handsomely!!

Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep CALM WHILE WAITING!!

AND FINALLLY, 

Face the Right Direction, and Keep Walking

“If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking,” goes a Buddhist proverb.

So, when the Direction is right....in this case...our Direction is Wealth Creation and our vehicle also right...that is the EQUITY MUTUAL FUNDS...then there is absolutely no need to keep looking at the NAV on a daily or even a Weekly basis.

Sometimes it makes great sense to be like an Ostrich and ignore the noise all around.
I will be like a SWAN and ensure that you invest only in the RIGHT funds.....Funds that suit your profile and horizon.

1. Dont watch your NAV/Portfolio Daily

2. Dont listen to CNBC/ETNOW experts. They find pleasure in making you nervous. 

3. Take the Advise of a Good MFD/Advisor who will guide you after looking at your Goals.

4. If the Horizon is Long term, treat the Falls as an Opportunity to buy Quality Funds at lower rates and reduce your overall Cost of Purchase.  

All the very Best,
Regards,
