What’s your SIP Strategy?

In this episode, Monika dives into the debate surrounding Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and whether they are truly the wealth-building tool they are often made out to be. A prominent fund manager recently warned that SIPs in small- and mid-cap mutual funds may not yield the high returns investors expect, igniting a firestorm of discussion. Monika explores the claims, comparing historical returns across different asset classes and reminding listeners of the importance of long-term investing. She recounts a colleague’s decision to exit equity markets in 2020 due to short-term underperformance—only to miss out on the subsequent market boom. Monika also breaks down the concept of rolling returns, explaining why they offer a more accurate picture of investment performance than simple point-to-point returns. Analyzing Nifty indices over different time horizons, she highlights how long-term SIP investors in well-chosen funds have generally fared well despite market volatility. She stresses that while SIPs are a great tool, they are not a magic bullet—they must be part of a well-structured financial plan that includes asset allocation, rebalancing, and a mix of equity and debt investments. Listener questions bring in real-life concerns. Tanvi Telang, soon to be engaged, seeks advice on managing finances as a couple when incomes and money attitudes differ. Shakti Kumar wonders if four years of underperformance against the benchmark is a sign to switch funds. Lastly, Mahesh Patnala from Gurugram asks if Monika would personally manage his portfolio, expressing his struggles with long-term financial planning.

What should India learn from disasters?

In this episode KK Shailaja, former health minister of Kerala, and Liby Johnson, executive director of Gram Vikas, discuss why disaster preparedness is about more than just building back better. What is needed is a model of development that is inclusive and prioritises the well-being of all citizens. Highlights Socio-economic factors play a huge role in how a particular state or region is affected by a disaster. The marginalised population of a state is worst-hit during a disaster. Disaster management is an ongoing development issue that requires long-term disaster preparedness, where planning and building resilience precedes the calamity. The urban local bodies and panchayats must be decentralised and given more power as they can play a decisive role in resilience and trust-building among communities. There should be less parenting and more partnerships between the citizens and the state to have a more involved citizenry. Nonprofits can play a significant role in bridging the gap between local governance and the people. For more information about IDR, go to www.idronline.com.
