Why Investors Switch Mutual Funds Despite Good Returns | Mitu Samar | Paisa Vaisa
2w ago00:44:36Tap to summarizeDo good returns automatically make a mutual fund trustworthy? In this episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta speaks with Mitu Samar, founder of Eminence Strategy Consulting, about what really drives investor trust in mutual funds. Drawing from research involving approximately 1,200 respondents across India, Mitu reveals why performance may only be the starting point.

How Gajendra Kothari Stayed Invested Through 10 Years of Negative Returns | Paisa Vaisa
4w ago00:54:40Tap to summarizeMost investors spend their time searching for the best mutual fund. Gajendra Kothari believes the bigger advantage is having the patience to leave a good investment alone. In this episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta speaks with Gajendra of Etica Wealth about his attempt to build a ₹100 crore corpus entirely through mutual funds. He shares how he started with a ₹10,000 SIP, continued investing through years of poor returns and built the temperament required to stay invested across multiple market cycles. The conversation explores why investors chase recent winners, why too many funds can weaken a portfolio and why market declines may benefit people investing for the next 10–20 years.

Inside a Hedge Fund Manager’s Mind: Risk, Shorts and Absolute Returns | Paisa Vaisa
Jul 1300:42:08Tap to summarizeTraditional long-only investing is generally focused on finding securities that can increase in value. A hedge fund manager must also search for risks, weaknesses and opportunities on the short side.

The conversation explains what hedge fund managers do, why they are “paid to be paranoid,” and how short positions can help express a negative market view or manage portfolio risk.
