This section is all about knowing and  understanding the “current texture” of Markets- the style which market is favoring & pockets which fund managers and smart money have started to look at. It is about tracking the indices and sectoral performance, asset class performance, eye on volaitlity index, the sentiment in market- greed, fear, euphoria, participant positioning,FIIs and DIIs cash activity. Key technical levels on various indices, valuation perspective etc.

As experienced investors our clients would appreciate the fact that there is randomness in markets and if one has to be continously being relevant to the market, one has to follow the drum beat. Every beat does not mean action to be done at investors end- but the whole idea is to know what markets are doing and what could be the foreseeable trajectory. Through this section we keep regular watch around what markets are doing, which pockets are looking strong, gaining in momentum, where are we moving into definitive uptrend etc.
 
Different time periods in markets have different opportunities to offer. Sometimes – Rotation between different sectors is in play, sometime deep value pocket of the market starts finding favour, sometimes overall texture of the market starts deteriorating, sometime risk reward is  placed with tremendous odd with small cap & mid cap and sometime large caps are hugely discounted, or some sector which has been in correction mode strats showing a strong uptrend after years of downtrend.

This section is usually triggered at the month end or can be triggered around any significant event materializing locally or globally on political, geopolitical, budgetary allocation policy, regulatory, industry change etc.

Bottom line- As investors we need to appreciate that markets are dynamic and no one particular style of investing works well in all time frames of markets consistently. One has to be nible footed in their view to spot opportunities. Asset allocation is what we promote all investors to have at the core of their investing strategy. And in case they want to play aggressivley on certain pockets or strategies – they should do so tactically.
What would help investors truly is to study market dynamics thorugh thgis section at regular intervals and try making sense through the price action of Dollar Index, USD INR, Indian Bond Yields, US Bond Yields, Sectoral and Indices Strength, Cross Asset Class- Bitcoin, Gold, Silver, etc

This section is not a recommendation section for BUY or Sell any particular investment – but acts as a light post which we would like our investors to know as in which direction to look at in markets, which indices are stated to do better, sectors which are outperforming.
Individual investors need to then evaluate these inputs from the point of view of their own individual investing strategy which suits them as per their risk profile and investment objective.
