Why does Swarup Mohanty describe himself as a "sad equity seller"?
Joining us on this episode is Swarup Mohanty, Vice Chairman & CEO of Mirae Asset AMC.
As a self-reflective, successful money manager who challenges conventional thinking, Swarup's investment philosophy is one that requires investors to think deeply about the "why" behind their wealth goals.
Swarup brings his learnings from the listed & unlisted space and reflects on India's booming IPO landscapes within the small- and mid-cap space and why he believes gold and silver are no longer 'hedge' assets.
He explores the impact that Korean philosophy has had on his approach to investments and life. He also shares his perspective on:
- The different risk appetites and wealth preservation strategies of HNIs, UHNIs, and retail investors.
- Why we must support women's growth in the financial space.
- How he manages own money.
- Why client-centric advisors are necessary for wealth creation.
- The private-market boom.
This is indeed a deep discussion about purposeful investing, global perspectives and personal convictions.
