D-Street Talk podcast | Hiren Ved lists out key lessons from SAMVAT 2076 & outlook for 2077

The new normal that we see is that markets have very large significant swings. And sometimes these swings make one sit and wonder, about the stocks and companies that you've invested in.

“We are seeing that the governments tend to infuse larger and larger amounts of liquidity, which causes these extreme risk-off risk on movements in the market. To some extent, this is a new normal that we've seen,” says Ved.

Mean Reversion:

There is an old adage that people say that there is always some mean reversion that happens in the markets. We have seen suddenly where there is a consensus and there is over-optimism and over participation, that's where the delta is the biggest.

“Nobody wanted to invest in – and everybody was underweight in the pharma sector until the crisis happened, and then everybody was running to kind of increase their weight in pharma,” explains Ved.

Don’t get greedy or fearful:

In the longer run, it's going to be very difficult for us to anticipate every crisis. “The way we invest and the way we build our portfolios, I think there needs to be a certain balance where we don't get too greedy when something is doing very well. And, neither do we ignore stuff that is not doing well,” he said.

If we maintain an ideal balance between greed and fear is the ideal way to invest, highlights Ved. “Creating the right balance between risk and opportunity is so very crucial to succeed and survive in the capital markets and make money from it,” he added.
