Will Crypto get a Trump Boost?
In this episode, Monika explores the potential impact of a Trump presidency on the cryptocurrency market. Following recent U.S. election results, the crypto industry celebrated as Donald Trump returns to the White House as the 37th President of the United States, prompting a sharp rise in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices. Many in the industry expect a more relaxed regulatory approach under Trump, including his proposal for a federal reserve of Bitcoin, which could position Bitcoin as a recognized asset if a major country begins to hold it in its reserves.
She explains the concept of national reserves, which are assets held by central banks, like the Federal Reserve in the U.S. or the RBI in India, and typically include hard currencies and assets like gold. Adding Bitcoin to this mix would represent a significant shift, potentially complicating the Fed’s role in managing the money supply and interest rates. Monika cautions listeners about the risks of investing in an asset that isn’t regulated in India.
Monika addresses a common question from her followers: Are systematic investment plans (SIPs) still a viable strategy? While some argue that SIPs may not yield strong long-term gains, she clarifies that SIP performance depends on the quality of the mutual fund chosen and a long-term investment horizon. Although Sensex and Nifty have returned around 23% per year in recent years, she reminds investors that returns tend to normalize to historical averages of 12-14% annually.
In listener queries, Sarvesh Sinha (name changed) seeks advice on whether to use funds from underperforming mutual funds to pay off a personal loan he took to help a family member. Shivanand Patil wonders if he should redirect SIP contributions to pay off his home loan sooner. Lastly, Rohit Kumar (name changed) asks about adding gold and international investments to his portfolio.

Why are Markets Choppy?
In this episode, Monika explains why Indian stock markets, after a four-year bull run, are now experiencing choppy waters. She discusses how markets sometimes grow ahead of the economy’s fundamentals, leading to short-term volatility. She highlights that while Sensex has returned a remarkable 23% per year over the last four years, long-term averages show more moderate returns. Investors should prepare for lower returns in the near future, possibly high single digits or low double digits, aligning with historical averages.
Monika also examines the role of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) in recent market fluctuations. FIIs withdrew over Rs 88,000 crore from Indian equities in October 2024, partly to rebalance portfolios and shift funds back to the US amid election uncertainties. However, she notes that strong domestic investments through mutual funds and retirement accounts have cushioned the impact, preventing a larger market drop. Monika advises investors to stay focused on asset allocation rather than reacting to short-term FII moves.
The episode also addresses estate planning, with Monika stressing the importance of preparing an efficient asset handover. She recommends essential steps, like naming nominees on all financial accounts, keeping property documents accessible, and writing a registered will. By organizing assets now, families can avoid unnecessary stress and financial setbacks later on.
In listener queries, Richa Kukreja, a single working woman, seeks guidance on building a retirement corpus of INR 5 crore by age 60 through mutual funds. Sahil Kapoor from Dallas asks about tracking mutual fund returns and whether XIRR or annualized returns are more effective for this purpose. Lastly, Vidya, nearing retirement, shares her concerns about protecting her investments amidst global uncertainties and the potential impact on her mutual fund portfolio.

Should you Buy or Rent?
In this episode, Monika discusses the protests by life insurance agents against recent policy changes favoring policyholders. Insurance agents, news reports say, are upset over reduced commissions and clawbacks due to new IRDAI rules that allow investors to keep more money when surrendering policies early. Effective from October 1, 2024, these changes aim to protect policyholders from harsh penalties while addressing mis-selling issues. Monika views these shifts positively for investors and recommends opting for term policies and direct investments over bundled insurance plans.
The episode also addresses the question of whether young people in their 20s and 30s should buy or rent a home. Monika advises that purchasing should only occur if one plans to stay long-term, as real estate is not an ideal investment due to low rental yields and variable appreciation. For those seeking flexibility in their careers, renting is often a smarter choice. She emphasizes the financial trade-offs involved in this decision, noting that buying early may limit career opportunities.
In listener queries, Nripjit Singh Chawla asks if he should redeem his equity mutual fund investments for an index fund. Monika advises against rushing this decision and suggests evaluating the current portfolio first. Dr. Abhinabha Saha, a 26-year-old doctor from Kolkata, wonders whether to take a loan for an MBA or use investments. Monika recommends a mix of both to balance costs. Lastly, Chandan Kundapur from the US seeks advice on generating monthly cash flow from mutual funds. Monika suggests utilizing a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) and consulting a financial planner for international relocation.

Anonymous from Bengaluru, nearing retirement, faces the dilemma of paying his sisters Rs 1.2 crore for an inherited home, with suggestions like selling his rental flat or staggering payments over five years. Sachin Gupta from NOIDA, recently laid off at 40, wonders about withdrawing from his EPF for investments; the advice is to continue the job search for 6-12 months. Saurab Roy seeks guidance on increasing SIP contributions with 12 mutual funds, and consolidation to one platform while reducing funds to 8-10 is encouraged. Nayan Paliwal plans to use a windfall bonus for a home down payment in 1.5-2 years, and fixed deposits are recommended for safety. Finally, Amit Kohly, an NRI considering a switch from regular to direct mutual fund plans, is advised on potential tax implications and a gradual transition. This episode emphasizes the importance of informed financial decision-making in balancing family obligations and investment strategies.
Next, Monika covers the new rules for transferring financial products like mutual funds, stocks, and listed bonds. Sebi now allows up to 10 nominees and has simplified the inheritance process for easier management by heirs and joint owners, particularly for elderly or incapacitated investors.
In listener queries, Dr. Prateek Srivastava faces a dilemma about taking over his mother’s home loan. Monika suggests exploring options like splitting the loan burden between siblings or selling the house to reduce the financial strain while ensuring a valid will is in place. She also advises Shilpa K to keep her emergency fund safe in a large commercial bank rather than chasing higher returns in small finance banks. Lastly, Namit Saxena, who holds 40 mutual fund folios, is encouraged to streamline his portfolio to 6-8 funds, using tax exemptions to rebalance over time.

New Mutual Fund Category for Risk Takers
In this episode, Monika discusses Sebi’s recent announcement of a new mutual fund category for high-net-worth investors. This new category will allow for higher-risk, potentially higher-return products, with a minimum investment of Rs 10 lakh. It aims to expand investment options without increasing risk in the broader market. Monika highlights the current limitations in mutual fund categories and explains how this change will give more flexibility in investment strategies. She will update listeners as more details emerge, especially regarding costs and fees.

Surrender Values, Expense Ratios and Real Estate
In this episode, Monika discusses recent changes in life insurance policies that have resulted in improved surrender values for policyholders starting October 1, 2024. Previously, policyholders faced harsh penalties for exiting mid-term, but now they can recover more than 70% of their premiums even after the first payment, and nearly 90% after five payments. This is a significant step towards better treatment of investors, though the insurance industry may still try to navigate around these regulations.
Cryptos, FDs and Smart Beta Funds
In this episode, Monika presents an intriguing blend of insights and answers to listener questions.
First, she explores how several non-US countries are seeking alternatives to the dollar-based global payment system, particularly regarding cryptocurrency. She clarifies that this discussion isn't an investment recommendation but highlights its implications for the future of global transactions.
Next, Monika dives into a micro event: Airtel’s new app-based fixed deposit service that launched on September 1, 2024. This innovation aims to simplify FD investments by allowing users to choose deposits from various banks through an easy-to-use dashboard. She also shares some risks, especially regarding higher interest rates from smaller banks.
Finally, Monika addresses three listener questions: one asks whether to pay off a home loan given the changing tax landscape; another inquires about the potential benefits of smart beta funds compared to traditional index ETFs; and the last expresses frustration over unequal investment allocations between spouses, seeking advice on how to handle this with their financial advisor.
