Overview



The markets continued the dream run this quarter even after the massive move in FY 2021. It once again proves our theory that predicting the markets is a pointless exercise. There has always been and will always be a gigantic gap between the market position and the perception of the economy on ground. Only at some points we feel that they are in unison else for all practical purposes there is no correlation between the two.  Hence the BBC concept plays this the best. Bhav Bhagwan Che. Follow the markets and allow the markets to do the talking.

At the end of Q1 FY 21-22, the benchmark index Nifty gained +7.00%,  the broader index CNX500 gained +9.40% the Small-cap index gained +20.00%  and the Nifty Next 50 index gained 12.7%

During Q1 FY 21-22, the Weekend Investing strategies have gained between +11.3% to +41.4% with each strategy beating the respective benchmark. The performance since we started our journey in Apr 2016 remains robust. The respective benchmarks have gained +14.5% to 15.1% CAGR over the 21 quarters while the Weekend Investing strategies have gained at 16.3 to 58.7% CAGR in the same time.  The star performing strategies have remained the Mi25 at +41.4% , Mi ATH +38.9% and Mi Allcap at +31.6% this quarter.

A detailed report of each of the products is appended with this letter. We look forward to the rest of FY 21-22 with renewed hopes of a stronger and healthy financial market.
