Why our Mutual Fund Portfolio needs restructure now ?

By
Why Mutual Fund portfolio now require restructure …. It is just because of below 3 reasons 1.     Introduction of LTCG 2.     Categorization of Mutual Fund by SEBI 3.     Introduction of TRI (Total Return Index) Introduction of LTCG : That means frequent buy and sell of funds will put you in the trap of taxation and on a long run basis your return will reduce. Because each time you redeem you will pay tax and while reinvesting you need to pay upfront expense (applicable in both regular and in direct). Also we need to stop running behind those funds which are giving best return in recent times by churning your portfolio again and again may become fatal. So now your responsibility becomes more to choose right fund and stick to it for a lengthy duration. Categorization of Mutual Fund by SEBI : After new guideline from SEBI , a large cap should only consist of large cap (no mid and small cap) Similarly s...

The Monkey , Goat and Stock Story :)

By
So there was this village where one day a man appeared and said that he wanted to buy monkeys. He said that he would pay a hundred rupees per monkey. The villagers caught all the monkeys in the neighborhood and sold them to him for a hundred rupees each. Soon another man appeared and said that he would pay two hundred rupees for each monkey.

confidently clueless

By
“Confidently clueless” in personal finance means feeling very sure about your money decisions while actually not understanding the risks, trade-offs, or consequences. In simple words: 👉 High confidence, low knowledge. What it looks like in real life “I’m doing a SIP, so I’m financially sorted.” “This fund gave 20% last year, so I invested big.” “Long term always works, no need to worry.” “Everyone on YouTube says this is the best.” The confidence comes from stories, past returns, or herd behavior, not from real planning. Why it’s dangerous Confidence hides ignorance. No clarity on goals No understanding of risk capacity No idea what can go wrong No plan for income loss, illness, or life changes When markets fall or life hits, the confidence collapses first — and money follows. A simple way to think about it Being confidently clueless is worse than being confused. Confused people ask questions. Confidently clueless people don’t. The opposite of “confidently clueless” Not br...
