- 0:161 10 years you won't make one no no I'll
- 0:19tell you I'll tell you I philosophy is
- 0:21simple so I'll invest the increment

- 0:31every week how do you come up with a 1
- 0:33CR plan now I'm
- 0:35smart what's the plan see I'll tell you
- 0:38I'll invest my increment in mutual funds
- 0:41the 10% goes into mutual funds yes and
- 0:44then it will make me one CR in 10 years
- 0:47or so my Excel sheet says but hold on
- 0:50you selected mutual funds and they going
- 0:52to make you 1 CR how did you select the
- 0:54mut I I know just just look at this you
- 0:56see this list you see these top three
- 0:58funds the first one what top return
- 1:01funds correct returns genius look at
- 1:04this no what's this number got it 36%
- 1:0736% cagr and you projected this into the
- 1:10future 10 years and that's how you
- 1:12money Miss not cool tell me one thing uh
- 1:16when you select a
- 1:18stock what do you look at to select a
- 1:20stock sometimes you buy stocks also
- 1:22right what do you look at you have only
- 1:24taught me I look at the fundamentals
- 1:27sales revenue profits I look for the
- 1:31sectors it sector banking just in case
- 1:33if it sector goes down banking saves my
- 1:35portfolio nice sounds complicated how
- 1:37many metrics is this 10 15ish I don't
- 1:40know okay and how many metrics did you
- 1:42look for mutual funds returns and the
- 1:44reason is ke mutual funds are managed by
- 1:46experts and all you have to do is select
- 1:49a fund correct actually no there is a
- 1:52way to actually analyze mutual funds as
- 1:55well so instead of looking at 15 20
- 1:57metrics like you do why don't I tell you
- 2:00some 1 2 3 4 5 6 metrics that we look at
- 2:04and based on that you can select a
- 2:06mutual fund you don't want to see me
- 2:07make 1 now I don't know about that but I
- 2:09don't want to see you die because your
- 2:11expectations are too high let's
- 2:15[Music]
- 2:26begin so the first thing we're going to
- 2:28do is look at something called rolling
- 2:31Returns what you are looking at is
- 2:34cagr this is a different kind of Ro give
- 2:37me the poker
- 2:39chips okay so what a mutual fund manager
- 2:42is essentially doing money yeah and he
- 2:46is thank
- 2:48you
- 2:51juice I'll ask you questions and if you
- 2:53make the
- 2:55wrong you have to eat drink Thea juice
- 2:58cool okay cool so a mutual fund manager
- 3:01is basically investing in different
- 3:04companies and diversifying your risk
- 3:06let's say with an equities now sometimes
- 3:09out of pure luck which is completely
- 3:12fine one of the stock does extremely
- 3:14well does that make sense yes is return
- 3:19is massively better than last year's
- 3:21because this one stock or sector or a
- 3:24group of stocks did extremely well and
- 3:26it skews the average and because of that
- 3:28the portfolio looks really nice in terms
- 3:30of returns so how do we know that the
- 3:33manager has luck or skill on his
- 3:36side so we look at something called
- 3:38rolling returns so now think about
- 3:40Cricket in cricket if you have a batsman
- 3:43and he's scoring 40 40 40 50 50 50 that
- 3:46means there is some consistency you see
- 3:48a pattern but what if someone scores
- 3:50example there 200 somewhere in in one
- 3:53game and the next few games is 40 40 40
- 3:55but his average is also 50 who is
- 3:57actually better the one which is who is
- 4:00going through consistent average exactly
- 4:02same thing in mutual fund so basically
- 4:04we need consistency when we selecting a
- 4:06fund and that's important sir I already
- 4:09know this okay then can I get a
- 4:13laptop so what a rolling return does is
- 4:16basically you try to capture multiple
- 4:18returns at the same time so let's say we
- 4:20have six years to look at okay we look
- 4:22at year 1 to year 4 Isa returns are 20%
- 4:27now let's start from year two so two to
- 4:31year five five so 2 to five returns are
- 4:3516% now let's go to year 3 three to year
- 4:39is 88.7% okay so if you had to go
- 4:42forward you'll say year four to year
- 4:45seven and so on and so forth so you
- 4:47won't see the average of the last seven
- 4:48years you will dissect it a little bit
- 4:50and
- 4:53see it's a rolling return makes sense
- 4:58now this is fund a okay now the same
- 5:00thing we'll do on fund B which is 30%
- 5:03for first then 20% Then 177% almost 18%
- 5:0818% so on one hand we have 20% 16% 8% on
- 5:12the other hand we have 30% 20% and
- 5:15almost 18% which is more consistent fund
- 5:18B clearly right and both can actually
- 5:22have a similar cagr similar return but
- 5:24you want to go with the one that's more
- 5:26consistent all you have to do is Google
- 5:29the fund name
- 5:30click on rolling Returns on whatever
- 5:31website you go to and just compare
- 5:33whether the numbers are almost the same
- 5:35sir this is easy so basically I'll just
- 5:37compare two funds and it's done right oh
- 5:40wait wait so when you look at when you
- 5:41look at a fund you have to compare it to
- 5:43The Benchmark which is for every fund
- 5:47The Benchmark is different another thing
- 5:49you can also do is compare this with the
- 5:51category average as well to see how
- 5:53other funds are performing what is
- 5:55category a so categories basically you
- 5:58might invest in a certain Mutual fun
- 5:59category like a hybrid fund or a large
- 6:03cap Equity Fund Etc or an Els fund you
- 6:06just compare s funds in that category
- 6:09where does your fund stand it's a
- 6:12comparison with the category average
- 6:13this can also be found online not an
- 6:16easy this is easy it's easy so you you
- 6:17compare with the Benchmark you compare
- 6:18with the category average rolling
- 6:20returns and you're good the next
- 6:22performance metric is the sharp ratio
- 6:24what ratio sharp ratio sharp ratio sharp
- 6:27with the E before explaining what sharp
- 6:29ratio is we should actually explain what
- 6:32standard deviation is hello let's
- 6:34imagine there are two aircrafts of two
- 6:36different brands flying from Mumbai to
- 6:39Delhi the flight let's say is 2 hours
- 6:42long okay now one flight operator is
- 6:46usually late so on one day it's 35
- 6:49minutes late on another day it is 40
- 6:52minutes late on one day it is 10 minutes
- 6:54late but if you look at it mostly it's
- 6:56about 25 minutes late that's an average
- 6:59it's 25 minutes away from the mean the
- 7:02expected the 2 hours so standard
- 7:05deviation is 25 minutes okay the second
- 7:08flight is late only about 10 minutes
- 7:11most of the time so standard deviation
- 7:12is 10 minutes 108 10 so now that you
- 7:15know AA standard deviation of time is 25
- 7:17minutes the other is 10 minutes which
- 7:18one which will yes obviously of course
- 7:21this is what standard deviation is how
- 7:22far away do you deviate from the mean
- 7:25now to explain sharp ratio first let me
- 7:28ask you a question
- 7:31question let's suppose you have an
- 7:34investment option that I'm giving you
- 7:35and I'm saying there is a possibility of
- 7:37making a 100% return on this I'll take
- 7:40it and there is a second option J you
- 7:43will make only
- 7:4610% as a possibility which one would you
- 7:48pick okay now what if I told you the
- 7:52risk in this is
- 7:54100% if it doesn't work out I will get
- 7:57your house and if in this one J you're
- 8:00making 10% if this doesn't work out Max
- 8:03you lose is 1% which one would you pick
- 8:07now but 10% is much lesser than 100%
- 8:11which one would you pick I love my house
- 8:13so what you just did was you didn't look
- 8:15at just returns you looked at risk if
- 8:17the risk is too much and this is stupid
- 8:19risk you just won't take the risk right
- 8:22H correct H the this is what the sharp
- 8:24ratio does it Compares your returns to
- 8:27the risk that you're taking because look
- 8:29at a fund we say 30% returns but how
- 8:32much risk are you actually taking we
- 8:34want to know it's calculating basically
- 8:36your
- 8:38returns uh divided by the standard
- 8:41deviation of that fund now the
- 8:43interesting thing is numerator it's
- 8:46actually coming from the difference
- 8:47between your fund and a risk-free
- 8:50interest rate you know why risk-free
- 8:53risk free FD yeah fixed
- 8:57deposit please sir three
- 9:01pleas FD is not risk-free your risk-free
- 9:04number actually comes from government
- 9:06securities
- 9:07[Music]
- 9:10ma actually I'll show you one example
- 9:12this fund that I've opened over here
- 9:14it's sharp ratio is
- 9:161.43 so this is good decent I would
- 9:20compare this fund to all other funds in
- 9:23the same category and see what their
- 9:25shop ratio returns Etc are so if I'm
- 9:28looking for elss fund I look for Sharp
- 9:30ratio comparing I'll get the best sort
- 9:32of fund and remember you can't optimize
- 9:35for just one metric you have to have a
- 9:37balance of everything so now let's see a
- 9:39risk metric what do all mutual fund ad
- 9:42say mutual fund say n PCO
- 9:47PCO mutual funds are subject to Market
- 9:50risk beta let's talk about beta so
- 9:53basically beta measures the funds
- 9:55volatility Against The Benchmark it
- 9:57could be Nifty could be Nifty 100 could
- 9:59be whatever but that's what beta
- 10:01measures
- 10:02so you will tell me the answer now okay
- 10:06I'll give you a clue you also guess so a
- 10:09beta of one means your fund volatility
- 10:12and The Benchmark volatility is the same
- 10:15it's one now let's say your fund is 1.2
- 10:19more volatile by how much 2% 20 20% and
- 10:23let's say the beta
- 10:26is8 it is 20% less volatile than the
- 10:29Benchmark that's it now the question is
- 10:32which one will you choose higher than
- 10:34one lower than one just select the one
- 10:36which is equal to the Benchmark no I
- 10:38think it's a very subjective ratio but
- 10:40there is another ratio which actually
- 10:42answers this question to a number and
- 10:45it's called the capture ratio which will
- 10:47have another ratio there's an upside
- 10:49capture ratio and there's a downside
- 10:50capture ratio so let's say Nifty moves
- 10:53up
- 10:545% okay and let's say your fund moved up
- 10:57only 1% it's a very bad fun it's very
- 11:00bad but what if your fund moved up also
- 11:03moved up 5% though it's a good fund now
- 11:06it's upside capture ratio is one so
- 11:08let's say Nifty moved up 10% and your
- 11:11upside capture ratio is two that means
- 11:14your fund moved up 20% which means you
- 11:17want an upside capture ratio greater
- 11:19than one now what do you think will be
- 11:21the answer for the downside capture
- 11:23ratio I will not look at it no no no no
- 11:26you want to make sure that your downside
- 11:28capture ratio is less than one so if
- 11:30Nifty Falls 5% you want the fund to fall
- 11:34oh not 5% less than 5% less than 5% of
- 11:37course last two metrics we will go to
- 11:40a assets under management which is the
- 11:43total amount the fund has in its Corpus
- 11:46that it's investing uh usually what
- 11:48happens is people go to a category and
- 11:51they click AUM and they see the largest
- 11:54fund and they think that's a good fund
- 11:56because everyone's bought it I'm not
- 11:58saying don't don't buy the highest AUM
- 12:00fund or buy the smallest fund not saying
- 12:02that so what I would say is remove AUM
- 12:05from your metrics when you're looking at
- 12:07um a fund the last one is the total
- 12:11expense ratio you know what this is
- 12:13right uhuh what is
- 12:19it TR or total expense ratio is the fee
- 12:23that the mutual fund company charges you
- 12:25to handle your money I knew this
- 12:30selfconfidence is the
- 12:32key so what you want to do is you want
- 12:34to make sure that you're investing in a
- 12:36fund just TR is acceptable again don't
- 12:40go just for the lowest TR because what's
- 12:43the acceptable
- 12:45te I don't know you'll have to look at
- 12:48all the funds in your category and see
- 12:50what the range is because the TR changes
- 12:52and I can't give you a range for it so
- 12:55now you have six metrics all of them on
- 12:57your screen and I hope all of them in
- 12:59your head when you look for a mutual
- 13:01fund it'll take less than 5 minutes for
- 13:04you to go through all of these five or
- 13:06six metrics but once you do you'll be a
- 13:08little more confident no one can pick
- 13:11the best mutual fund a stock to give you
- 13:13the best returns nobody all of these
- 13:16things are done so you can sleep well at
- 13:18night knowing you did everything you
- 13:20could in Your Capacity and
- 13:24is and that's the true key to happiness
- 13:27also for appraisal also and for returns
- 13:31expectation also keep them low hope for
- 13:34the best appraisal expectation should be
- 13:36high No it should be low so then if you
- 13:39you give us if it's decent then you're
- 13:42happy thank you sir for the appra no
- 13:45there's no appraiser I hope you like
- 13:47this episode if you did give a like say
- 13:49something in the comments and see you in
- 13:50the next episode and I'll get like and
- 13:52subsscribe sales
- 14:01so imagine these are
- 14:10[Laughter]
