The stance on IT has started becoming accommodative on news channel ;)









Deep value fund is changing its #strategy to #momentum However, there is another factor at Work here — #fund flows. We run open-ended funds, and you can and Increasingly have been taking #money out, we suspect mostly to join the exodus from #active to #passive, or possibly to #invest in managers who profess that they understand #quality better than we do. They may be right, or they may be closet momentum investors, which will be fine until it isn’t. However, there will be little point in being proved right @WeekendInvestng @MysticWealth11 about the dangers of passive or momentum investment after our Fund has closed. fundsmith.co.uk/media/lfhpxi1x…


India just made retirement saving optional. Back in 2014, the mandatory PF baseline was locked at Rs 15,000 of your basic salary. Twelve years of inflation later, that money today is only worth half of what it used to be. The new EPF Scheme 2026 was the perfect time to adjust this baseline. Instead, the framework kept it exactly the same, which effectively scales back your long-term retirement benefits. Legally, both sides still have to meet that minimum Rs 1,800 a month. But anything above that is now completely optional. Here is what that actually means for your pocket: -If your basic salary is Rs 50,000, the total contribution into your PF has typically been about Rs 6,000 a month. Under the strict legal mandate of the new rules, only Rs 1,800 of that is legally required from both sides. The remaining Rs 4,200 now relies on a voluntary opt-in. If a salary structure shifts to only stick to the legal minimum, the long-term impact is massive. At an 8.25% interest rate over a 25-year career, that Rs 4,200 a month adds up to a staggering Rs 41 lakh. That Rs 41 lakh used to be the default expectation. Now, it requires active, conscious planning from both employers and employees to keep it going. Giving people more flexibility with their money today is a welcome move. But we have to acknowledge the broader picture: India’s retirement system has quietly shifted from a mandatory default to an optional model. By 2050, one group retires on 25 years of compounding. The other realises the extra take-home is gone, and 60 is too late to start over..
