Investment Reflections from Lord Ganesha
Drawing wisdom from Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, it is time to explore timeless investment principles from the life of the Elephant God. Just as Ganesha embodies patience, foresight, and adaptability, investors can harness these qualities to navigate market challenges, optimize portfolios, and achieve long-term prosperity.
Consistency is the Key
In the grand tapestry of the Mahabharata, Lord Ganesha plays a pivotal role as the scribe who meticulously transcribes the epic. Legend has it that during the transcription, his tusk broke, a moment that could have halted the monumental task. Instead, Lord Ganesha demonstrated resilience and dedication by continuing with unwavering commitment, using his broken tusk as a writing instrument. This story symbolizes the power of persistence and adaptability. Just as Lord Ganesha turned a challenge into an opportunity, investing consistently, even in the face of obstacles, can yield significant rewards. It teaches us that enduring effort and steadfastness, regardless of the difficulties we encounter, are crucial to achieving long-term success
Stay committed with your SIPs through market fluctuations to maximize returns and achieve your financial objectives
Consider what would happen if an anxious investor decided to exit the market every time there was a downturn. Imagine Mr. Anxious began a monthly SIP of ₹2,000 on September 1, 2018, investing in the Nifty 50 TR Index. During the major market crash in March 2020, Mr. Anxious faces a decision: should he redeem his investment or should he remain invested?
SIP Illustration
| Redeemed | Stayed invested | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly SIP Amount | 2,000 | 2,000 |
| Total Amount Invested | 38,000 | 120,000 |
| XIRR (%) | Loss | 15.4% |
| Value of Investment on 31st Mar 20 | 29,000 | 29,000 |
| Final Amount (in Crs) On 31st Aug 23 | 35,147 | 176,247 |
If Mr. Anxious had persisted with his SIP despite the 2020 market volatility, his investment would have grown to around ₹1.76 lakhs. This simple example demonstrates the significant impact that consistency can have on wealth creation. By continuing our SIPs through market ups and downs, we work towards becoming financially stronger. With this perspective, let's invest with the patience and perseverance of Lord Ganesha.
