WHERE IS MY MONEY? WHAT NOW? WHAT NEXT?

Wednesday, 08 April 2020 by Hansi
How much do you think your net worth has fallen as a direct result of CoVid? It seems a simple enough question. I hear of many people seeing the lower value in the equity mutual fund portfolio statements, comparing it to the highest they have seen it to be in the recent past, and concluding

WOMEN KNOW PLENTY ABOUT MONEY

Monday, 30 September 2019 by Hansi
People don’t talk about money; women even less so. Strangely, money is still one of the taboo topics in Indian society, along with sex even as politics and religious discussions have become a norm in living rooms. I asked my girlfriends about why they think this is – they simply shrugged and said something along

BE MONEY CONFIDENT

Tuesday, 21 August 2018 by Hansi
Women constantly tell me they find investing boring and complicated. They tell me they wouldn’t like to lose their hard-earned money in what appears to be a casino – the sharemarket. They tell me they don’t want to spend their precious time looking at financial investments. Here’s the thing. All these statements show women have

SO..WHAT IS FINANCE ALL ABOUT?

Wednesday, 27 September 2017 by Hansi
In this teaser for the web-series I made last year, the all-knowing finance professional Mr Sikka says ‘Finance is when savers invest in the real economy…hedge their risks through various financial instruments…and understanding your risk profile by coming up with optimum asset allocation.’ What??!! Sikka is not wrong. But because he, like other finance professionals,

WHY DO WOMEN NOT WANT TO LEARN ABOUT MONEY?

Wednesday, 05 July 2017 by Hansi
It’s an economic forum for women. The hotel venue is swarming with women. You’d think they would be keen to discuss money given the economic theme. But they don’t turn up to the session.

I had just got the job as an analyst by writing to the CEOs of leading research houses and investment consulting firms. Ok, perhaps, bordering on over-confident. I was 23. When I

The Guardian has one. The New York Times has one. Sydney Morning Herald has one too. The Times Of India has one too. Most newspapers have a personal finance column. Obviously money is a popular topic. I must have read thousands of personal finance columns. I started writing one here about a year and half

LOOK WHO’S TALKING

Tuesday, 15 November 2016 by Hansi
Good journalists do a great job of synthesizing different points of view into one coherent article, simplifying it for the reader in the process. Good articles quote experts, presenting a balanced view of different opinions. Ideally, the ideas should be more important than the authors. However, when it comes to investment or financial planning advice,
