This fund s long term story is good

I want to show you the difficult phase

Soon after launch, came the crash of 2008. An investment done in 2007 earned nothing for 5 years 7 months

I like to show phases of no returns so we come with open eyes Image T2

In the same period, SIP investor earned 8% pa

Because he added more units during the first phase of nav fall (very few would have stayed put in those days)

By 2013 the market/ small cap cos & the fund would have frustrated most of us thus creating base of under valuations

Thread on returns between large caps / mid or small caps

T1

2002 to 2007 : nifty up 7 times / nifty next 11 times / small cap index was up 14 times

PE multiplied from less than 10 to 27 for Nifty Next (appx proxy for mid caps) T2 : After such a big upmove (all rosy headlines) - what happened in next phase (2008 - 2013)

Nifty stays flat and Small caps fall ~ 65%
Midcap PE drops from 28 to 12x
Small caps are bad

What happens in next 5 years ?
