Lord Ram was a great warrior. Yet, he knew that to win against an opponent like Ravan, he needed an army. He realized that he could not do it alone. A strong army was his only chance to succeed, and he created one with the help of Sugriva and Hanuman.
8/15
When it comes to your portfolio, you need an army too. Don’t just rely on your savings and fixed deposits for a worry-free financial future. An army of a well-diversified portfolio, spread across asset classes, is the mantra to succeed in investing too.

As the table shows, in the last 10 years, different asset classes have emerged as winners in different years. Gold has topped the chart in 5 years, equity topped in 3 years and debt in 2 years. Hence asset allocation is critical to long-term wealth creation.

Don’t Let Your Ego Destroy Your Future
Ravan was one of the most learned scholars to have ever lived. But all his talents were overshadowed by his ego and arrogance, which caused his downfall. we all become adamant like Ravan and hold on to some assets
13/15
In a way, we let our ego get the better of our intelligence, instead we need to accept our mistakes and get rid of loss-making investments as soon as possible.
14/15
Bottom line
Not falling prey to greed, taking small steps to achieve, diversify across asset classes, keep it simple, accept your mistakes as soon as possible. Ramayana perhaps imparts all the essential investment lessons that one can think of.
