New age startups are coming in:

They are eager to participate in the markets

Economy will benefit when these startups list on market in coming years.
Is the market overvalued or too high?

Don't look at sensex value.
Look at the future growth.

Market was too high at 2000, 3000, 4000, 10000, 15000 etc.

As long as future growth is present, the market will keep touching new highs!!

A Pro tip to be safe from structured deals

Health Insurance pointers

Tedious due to fine print!!

~ Have your own, inspite of employer provided cover

Why?
~ You switch jobs
~ You won't be covered post retirement

Be aware of:

~ Disease waiting periods
~ No claims bonus
~ Claims & claim complaints
How should you start your investment journey?

Have separate bank accounts with these labes:
~ Income
~ Expenses
~ Investment

Understand whether your savings is a target or a residue.

Then have:
~ Emergency funds
~ Insurances
~ Investment
Finding a financial advisor

~ Advisor should be trustworthy
~ Check within circle of friends
~ Talk with 3-4 advisors

Advisor should ask you personal questions about your lifestyle, goals etc.

Stay away from an advisor who asks about how much money you have!
That's a wrap friends:

TL;DR:

~ Beware of current market environment
~ Understand your nature before investing
~ Protect your income, insure then invest
~ Follow a process
~ Find a trusted advisor
~ Have record of finances, easily accessible for family!!

Takeaways from Clubhouse session:
"Investing Insights with Samit Vartak" @SamitVartak
hosted by @ishmohit1 @soic
along with @cautkarshpandey
@dadalife369 & other members of Delhi Investors Association

Thank you @Delhi_Investors & @soicfinance for the wonderful session!

A 🧵
How to select companies that can give high returns.

~ Look for companies that will double earnings in 3-4yrs
~ Avoid extremely cheap & poor quality companies
~ Ensure they meet the business standard
Role of valuation while selecting companies for investing

Valuations are secondary!

Really cheap companies are often at risk since they are not quality business.

You lose little if valuations are costly.

But you can lose everything if the business quality is bad.

A common investing mistake:

Taking out money when market falls!

Reason:

~ It's difficult to get in once you get out

~ If you manage to get in you will be late and lose the rise in the market.

Don't exit when market falls, neither stop the SIPs.

What is something more important than chasing returns:

Managing risks!

Here are 10 important aspects in personal finance to manage your risks!!

A thread 🧵

#personalfinance
#investing
1. Risk profiling

As complex the word may sound, risk profiling is simple.

It involves understanding your:

~ Risk taking ability
This is based on your age, income, liabilities (dependents) & expenses!

~ Risk tolerance
How much volatility you can bear without losing sleep
2. Defined financial goals

Know why you are investing in an asset class.

Match the duration of the goal, the expected return with that of the asset class.

Blindly investing without any goal is the most common risk to your investments!

Insights for investing from:
Fun 'n' Learn with Swarup Mohanty @mohanty_swarup,
CEO Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India) Pvt. Ltd,
hosted by Deepika Asthana @asthanad

A thread 🧵
Why rules & regulation are necessary?

In the 90s:
Harshad Mehta scam reduced attraction of stock market to zero

Realisation:
Wherever there is money, there would be some kind of theft.

Thus, wherever there is money there needs a strong regulation.
Have an investing framework!

Investing although is a return generating activity, it's more a risk management activity.

Hence, it's important to have discipline & framework.

This is required not only for fund managers but also for individuals.

12 habits of successful investors!

I personally practice few of these & wish to implement those which I don't.

A thread 🧵
1. Independence of opinion

Successful investors avoid stock tips, biased views & media predictions.

They develop their own opinions based on facts

"To be a better investor, you have to stand on your own.You just can’t copy other people’s insights."
--Li Lu
2. Learning Machines

Be a life-long learner.
To be a good investor read books on:

~ Investing
~ Controlling emotions
~ Human psychology & behavior

"All successful investors have a common habit. They just love to read all the time."
-- The Joys of Compounding by @Gautam__Baid
