ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Why do investors enter at the top… and exit at the bottom? Let’s break that down.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dhirendra Kumar - Founder & CEO, Value Research, who’s seen India’s investing journey up close for over three decades.
We get into:
• Magnum Multiplier, Mastergain, and the frenzy of the 90s
• How PSU mutual funds shaped early investing in India
• The shift from share certificates to SIPs and digital access
• Why investors still end up chasing performance
• Investing vs just collecting funds
• Active vs passive: skill vs discipline
• Why star fund managers can be a trap
• How regulation actually helped the industry grow
• What real portfolio data says about investor behaviour
• And why discipline quietly does the heavy lifting
From paper-based investing to a few taps on your phone - a lot has changed. But the way we behave as investors? Not so much.
If you want to understand what actually drives your returns - beyond markets and funds - this episode is for you.
