1⃣ Same returns from different funds don’t mean the similar performance
Say, 2 funds have delivered 10% average annual returns in the past 10 years.
If you would pick a fund on these numbers, there are 50% chances of you going wrong.❌

A volatile fund would have some phases of high performance and extended periods of underperformance. 📈📉
It doesn’t make sense to go for the volatile fund, as it would pose problems when you want to exit the fund.
Also, you are taking unnecessary risks to get the same returns.

First, some basics.
When #InterestRates rise📈, bond #prices fall📉. Why? Investors would rather buy new papers at a higher rate than old ones with lower yields.
#FloaterFunds are not impacted by interest rate movement. There’s a simple explanation.👇

As the #InterestRates rise, the yields on floating-rate bonds also increase.⬆️
So, #investors don’t need to sell them to buy new papers offering higher interest rates.
But the converse is true, too. So, when interest rates fall📉, #FloaterFunds become unattractive.

The #momentum of the markets are one of the most powerful forces in the evolution of the #asset #prices.
The #reversion to the mean is the opposite force, which is equally powerful. Momentum works on a short and medium term (up to 3 to 5 years).

Stupendous #returns in various schemes of 6 wound up schemes including flows from segregated portfolios. I do not think anyone in their wildest dreams had thought of such an outcome a year back. #XIRR is the right way to gauge returns as payments were recd in different tranches.
Also, give credit where it is due. All this has happened only due to sale of the so called quote-unquote, #ILLIQUID, #LOWQUALITYDEBT. These were sold at huge premiums within a span of 12 months (6-8 months were wasted in court cases, voting for winding up etc).
These securities were sold seamlessly by another Fund House due to Court Order. This was possible only because underlying securities, structures, quality, etc was good to start with created by the #FundManager of @FTIIndia

M2 which is a broad measure of money supply, has grown 81% in the last 7yrs to nearly $20Trn. An increase in the supply of money typically lowers interest rates, which generates more investment and puts more money in the hands of consumers. Hence stimulating spending.

Bonds struggled during the last major stagflationary period, in the late 1960s. Rise in oil prices,unemployment, loose monetary policy pushed the core CPI Index to a high of 13.5%. The Fed had to raise interest rates by nearly 20%.

Recently, Dr. Shiller suggested that #valuations really aren't that high once you fall in the #Fed trap of using #earnings #yields and #low #rates to justify it. The problem is it is a #rationalization to justify overpaying for #assets.
realinvestmentadvice.com/shiller-ecy-ju…

The main problem in using low-interest rates as a rationalization to overpay for assets is that you have to also discount #future #cashflows for lower inflation and rates as well.
realinvestmentadvice.com/shiller-ecy-ju…
realinvestmentadvice.com/shiller-ecy-ju…
"As low-interest rates went lower, the dynamic changed from using debt productively to using debt for non-productive purposes such as dividend issuance, share buybacks, and, in some cases, offsetting negative cash flows."

#Straddles vs #Strangles ( Sell only )
These are the most common #Options strategies when one would start with #OptionsTrading.
Let’s understand from a broader perspective what’s the difference between these two.

Would not like to discuss the construction difference between them if you don’t know stop trading #options
#Straddles
You get higher premium so pnl would be higher compared to #strangles
But from where are you getting higher premiums is that your selling 0.5 #delta.

So probability of one going wrong is always 50% so to simply put one side is goin to get stuck in a #straddle but then market tends to #flucuate a lot so there is always the case of #meanreversion if you have selected the #strike rightly.

In #Futures Trading, both the buyer & the seller are #obligated to settle the contracts on or before expiry ie cover shorts or longs or rollover to next contract, regardless of how the underlying asset price moves.
In #Futures Trading, both the buyer & the seller are #obligated to settle the contracts on or before expiry ie cover shorts or longs or rollover to next contract, regardless of how the underlying asset price moves.
With #Options the buyer has the #Right, but not the #Obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) on underlying asset. The option seller is #passive and must comply with whatever the option buyer does.
#TweetStorm - Expensive or deserves to be Expensive ? 1)One thumb rule for screening expensive companies is Market Cap to Sales or Enterprise Value to Sales. A 10x or more is generally expensive unless the company can grow sales rapidly or has extremely high Net Profit Margins.
2)Another way to look at expensive is if the Market Cap is equal to the Total Sales of the Addressable Market Size. This would lead to company having to launch different products in the future.
3)May not be the approach to take a Sell Decision or a Short Sell Decision. Very few companies can command such high valuations. Thumb Rule is just to review the investment thesis and the quality of the business. If doubts on quality , get out.

Why? eg. if currently #Coupon rate on a bond is 6% & int rate is also 6% & face value of bond is rs. 100. Meaning buyer of bond is willing to pay more or less complete face value of rs. 100
