WHAT INVESTORS WANT AND HOW WE DELIVER

Date: 27th June, 2024

Investing can be a challenging endeavor, but understanding what investors truly desire is the first step in creating a successful investment strategy. Let’s explore what investors seek, what they often receive, and how our approach stands out by delivering on their expectations.

What Investors Want

High Return

Investors look for opportunities to grow their wealth significantly. When they invest in equities, their expectation is to earn higher returns compared to benchmarks like the Nifty-50 and Sensex. However, they also wish to achieve these returns without taking on excessive risk. The ideal scenario for investors is a high-return investment with manageable risk levels.

Safety of Return

Beyond just high returns, safety is paramount. Investors want assurance that their money is in safe hands and will generate steady returns over time. This security allows them to invest confidently, knowing their wealth will not be subjected to undue risk.

Peaceful Investing

Investors prefer a calm and stable investing environment, free from the stress of constant market volatility. They want a strategy that allows them to make informed decisions without the anxiety of sudden market downturns, ensuring a more peaceful investment journey.

 

What They Are Actually Provided With

No High Return

Investing in equities has the potential for higher returns, but it comes with significant risks, especially during market crashes. On the other hand, debt investments offer stability and safety, typically yielding lower returns around 6-7%. This dichotomy often leaves investors in a dilemma, struggling to find a balance between potential high returns and safety.

Very High Risk

Equity investments are inherently risky. Market crashes can severely impact even the best-performing funds, causing substantial losses. During these downturns, many investors panic and sell their investments at a loss, rather than taking advantage of lower prices to buy more.

Rigid Fee Structure

Mutual funds and other investment intermediaries charge fixed fees regardless of performance. This can be disappointing for investors, especially during periods when their funds underperform. The rigidity of these fee structures can erode investor returns, adding to their dissatisfaction.

No Flexibility

Investors face significant restrictions with traditional mutual funds. These include a 1% withdrawal fee within the first year and high expense ratios ranging from 1.5% to 2.5%. Additionally, some funds, such as hedge funds, can lock in investor money for up to five years, limiting liquidity and flexibility.

 

What We Offer

Higher Returns

Our approach is designed to consistently outperform the market, providing the potential for increased returns. We focus on long-term wealth creation, allowing you to invest calmly and securely. By employing strategic investing and minimizing unnecessary risks, we aim to deliver higher returns while ensuring your investments grow steadily.

Peaceful Investing

We prioritize steady wealth growth through the power of compounding. Our peaceful investing strategy minimizes risks by avoiding frequent trading. Instead, we invest in the Nifty-50, reflecting the Indian economy’s strength and hedging against market downturns. This approach ensures satisfying returns and helps maintain calmness even during market crashes, as our hedging strategies work to minimize losses.

Tailored to Your Risk Profile

We understand that each investor has a unique risk tolerance. That’s why we customize investments based on your risk appetite, maximizing returns while securing your financial future. By aligning our strategies with your individual preferences, we ensure that your investment journey is both rewarding and comfortable.

Flexible Withdrawals

We believe in providing financial freedom to our investors. With our approach, you can enjoy hassle-free withdrawals whenever needed, without incurring additional costs. This flexibility allows you to access your funds as per your requirements, ensuring your financial goals are met with ease.

To further illustrate our approach, consider the following data:

  1. Historical Performance: The Nifty-50 has historically provided average annual returns of around 12-15% over the past two decades. By strategically investing in such indices and employing hedging techniques, we aim to outperform these benchmarks.
  2. Risk Management: During the 2008 financial crisis, well-hedged portfolios experienced significantly lower losses compared to unhedged equity portfolios. This underscores the importance of our risk management strategies in safeguarding your investments.
  3. Compounding Growth: By focusing on long-term, steady growth, investors can take advantage of compounding. For example, an initial investment of INR 10 lakhs growing at an average annual rate of 12% would become approximately INR 96.5 lakhs in 20 years, demonstrating the power of compounding over time.

By offering higher returns, peaceful investing, tailored risk profiles, and flexible withdrawals, we stand apart in the investment advisory landscape.
