24.8.2019

Lord Krishna is one of the most popular and worshipped deities among the Hindus. Krishna represents knowledge, wisdom, beauty and opulence. Shri Krishna is the very embodiment of love and divine ecstasy that destroys all pain and offense. Krishna’s teachings empower people across societies to excel in their works and deeds, best among them being the realization of Divine & the Demon within oneself.

Let us find wisdom in his teachings to improve upon our financial well-being.

*Detach Yourself*: Krishna teaches you to detach yourself from grief and joy. Same way detach yourself from Greed & Fear syndrome from your investments. Don’t be greedy when in general markets are doing great and don’t fear when they are down.

*Karma Yoga*: As an investor your Karma is to pick up the right products for your portfolio befitting your risk and return matrix, aligned to your financial goals and then let them do their work.

*Transcendental Knowledge*: You should have knowledge of different asset classes and how products work in those classes. You must have an advisor to guide you through such plethora of investment products to help you choose the right one.

*Dhyana Yoga*: Meditate on your investments regularly. Like you do your meditation or prayers daily, similarly review your portfolio periodically. It could be monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly depending on your financial plan and investment portfolio.

*The Universal Form & Knowledge of Absolute*: Know that Indian Economy is the Absolute or The Universal Form for an investor. While there may be short term hiccups but in the long run it is bound to grow and distribute fruits to them who retain faith in it.

*Attaining the Supreme*: By retaining faith in the Absolute i.e. Indian Economy and practicing Karma & Dhyana Yoga keeping yourself detached from the ups and downs of the markets, you will attain your Supreme i.e. your financial goals.

*The Opulence of the Absolute*: Indian economy has enormous potential for growth and wealth creation for decades to come. Have faith in your Absolute and work your investments practicing Karma and Dhyana Yoga of periodically reviewing and rebalancing your portfolio.

*The Divisions of Faith*: Those who don’t become aware i.e are not able to get rid of their greed and fear, have no faith in the economy, tend to lose patience every now and then, will suffer in their investments. And those who understood the difference of news and noise and are undeterred by short term disturbances but take advantage of the opportunities that come their way will benefit enormously.

*Conclusion – The Perfection of the Renunciation*: Surrender to Absolute (have faith in your Economy), focus on your Karma (pick the right product) and Dhyana (reviewing your investments), acquiring the Transcendental Knowledge (Knowledge of investment universe, its modalities and guidance of an Advisor) and attaining the Supreme (your financial goals).

*Team InvestmentMitra* wishes you *Happy Janmashtami*. May Krishna bless you with complete enlightenment and eternal bliss in your life.

This Republic Day Write Your Own Financial Constitution

By
“Constitution is not mere a lawyer’s document, it is a vehicle of life and its spirit is always the spirit of Age” – BR Ambedkar A constitution primarily is a document that details the rights, obligations, privileges, duties and responsibilities of the people living within the corridors of, and leading that country. It details the rule of governance. Without a constitution it will be difficult to live like a civilised society. We would be living like in stone-age where “Might was Right” and jungle raj prevailed all over. Like a country, each individual should also have his or his family’s own financial constitution detailing various financial objectives and the process to achieve those financial objectives, rules that will govern the way its finances will be managed etc. This applies to all individuals without exception and is more popularly known as “Financial Plan”. Like a constitution your financial plan should have a Preamble and different schedules. Preamble -

Time or Timing – What is more important with Sensex @ 64K

By
  The Stock Market is the device to transfer wealth from the IMPATIENT to the PATIENT. After swinging in a range for almost one and half years, markets breached their previous peaks and are scaling new one now. Markets have risen by almost over 14% in last three months. Major reason for this sudden rise is the return of FIIs to the Indian stock markets following the fact that India is the fastest growing economy and growing over 6% despite covid, global economic slowdown and geo-political tensions. We invest for long term and everyone knows in the long run markets will go up irrespective of intermittent shocks like scams, dot-com bubble, Lehman crisis, covid or banking troubles in USA etc. Following picture depict the journey of Sensex over 40 years since its inception.   Source; www.thenwsmen.co.in The unfortunate part is we are more concerned about the short term movements of the markets. Every time there is sudden rise or fall in them market we are gripped more by fear and l

On Cross Roads

“We cannot truly plan, because we do not understand the future- but this is not necessarily a bad news. We could plan while bearing in mind such limitations. It just take guts.”- Taleb:   Propounder of The Black Swan theory. Pessimism that set in March, still persists in our minds. In fact it has deepened with growing number of Covid cases being reported. The largest question ruling our minds today is - Shall we ever be able to overcome it…………..     and if yes by when and how? Have we ever wondered how have the Indian culture survived for so many thousands of years, how come so many Indians who were transported as labourers to many African and European countries centuries ago are now ruling the roost or how come most of the top 20 firms in the world have Indian heading them and so on……….. The only reason to above and many such questions is our “ Ability to Adapt ”. We are fast learner and very quickly adapt to new situation. Indians enjoys six different weather in a yea

Markets Tumbling, Recovering – What to do??

Markets Tumbling, Recovering – What to do?? "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - Chinese proverb. In times like present most people flock towards safety. Most do it because they don’t know how long this doomsday atmosphere will last, some even feeling like there will be No Tomorrow. But hunger for good returns on our investment never ceases. Kin Hubbard satires, "The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket." On investment and earning good money from them, Warren Buffet – the legendary investor says, "If I buy a farm, I don't know whether there's going to be drought next year, but I know that there are not going to be 20 straight years of drought, and I know there's not going to be 20 straight years of great rainfall." It is a proven fact that no matter what, in long term best returns come from stock markets only. And as Seth Klarman says, “The stock mar

Have You Missed Boarding the Bus

  "The market does not trade upon what everybody knows, but upon what those with the best information can foresee" – William Hamilton Russia-Ukraine conflict had clouded the stock markets worldwide giving speculations to the talks like possibilities of third world war, Russia heading for deep financial crisis, energy crisis looming large over Europe etc. With Russia-Ukraine conflict seems getting settled and much to the pleasure of Russia – the Super Power, this has now become a non-player for the markets until some significant deviation happens from the present stance taken by all major countries of the world. Present is the world of instant. We want everything instant and so are our reactions. In the age of internetted social life, dissemination of information is highly fluid. And over 99% of these netizens have mastered the art of forwarding such information without verifying if it’s a news, noise or manipulated agenda of some interested parties.   Most economies in
