Up next @KalpenParekh on International Investing and #Budget2023!

Mr Kalpen has over 2 decades of experience in Asset Management. He is passionate about behavioural finance and believes that investor behaviour is one of the most crucial aspects to a good investment experience.

He starts with a question - "If you were an alien from Mars, how would you invest on earth?"

1) Largest companies of the world?
2) Most profitable companies?
3) Multiple countries?

Or will you invest all your money only in India? India is a nano market in the world market size.

India is only ~1% of the global market size!

This is how global money is allocated:

What has been the worst investor experiences in the history?

Some of the Returns of a 60:40 portfolio across major countries:

India has also gone through a -66% decline!

No country always stays at the top!

India vs Berkshire Hathway - who has done well?

Very interesting returns!

Explains the importance of global diversification:
Average of India and Berkshire is better than the individual portfolios!

Magic of diversification:

Many mega cap companies are diversified in their earnings (more than one country). Many of them operate in India as well. So to capture India’s growth too, one has to look for companies listed abroad. When we invest abroad, we also protect our purchasing power in dollar terms.

He ends with a question - "Companies are earning from across the world. Are you too?

Pick the best from across the world. Take lessons from IPL 70:30 mix (7 Indians and 4 International Players)."
