When Amazon, TSMC or Meta moved, most Indian portfolios barely felt it.
Not because investors were wrong.
Most portfolios stop at India.

Markets don’t move in straight lines. And neither does the economy.
Right now, we are seeing:
• Earning average returns harder than they look and how SIPs can help
• Large caps gaining relevance over small and mid caps
• Corporate India is stronger than ever
• India's private consumption is slowing down
DSPNetra May 2026, 60th edition coming up.
It has sections on:
1. SIP
Why average returns are so hard to earn?
How does SIP help?
2. Valuations
India valuations and the Large Cap Vs SMID comparison.
3. Private Consumption
The India consumption cycle has been in a flux. How to think about it? To write it off or not?
4. Corporate Profitability
A decomposition of ROE and what can lead to better outcomes for Corporate India.

The first letter to investors.
To fully appreciate the logic behind our current portfolio construction and asset allocation, we recommend reading the letter in conjunction with the snapshot. These documents together provide a comprehensive view of how we are navigating the current market environment.
We raised our equity weights in this strategy from below from Feb end to the early April equity sell off phase. Read the note to know why and how.

Anish Tawakley joins us as CIO.
He will lead all our investment teams & give oversight across all asset classes - equities, bonds, credit. He will work closely with our current Equity & Fixed income heads Vinit Sambre & Sandeep Yadav & enhance synergies.
He brings 30 years of experience and has seen multiple market cycles.
In all my interactions during the hiring conversations, what stood out for me was his emphasis on not losing permanent capital & belief that alpha is earned in downcycles & the responsibility towards managing other people’s hard earned money.
He loves to teach economics, macro & investing principles and I attended my first session as a student yesterday along with the team :)
His last stint was a successful role in managing teams and money at ICICI Prudential AMC.
DSPNetra April 2026 edition.
The DSPNetra version that you must not miss. Give it a read, slowly and carefully.
Read each line, especially the blueboxes.
It covers,
1. Why we changed our stance on equities after 2+ years, from conservative to 'looking to buy'.
2. Why it is time to be constructive on large caps and in which segments.
3. What's with small & midcaps.
4. The oil crisis - how to think?
One of our FMs has written the following on his visiting card
- nobody knows
- valuations matter
- structure over activity
The truth in investing is that most things are unknowable
It is a domain of uncertainty
Ironically, it is in such a domain we seek certainty as investors & as money managers try to offer certainty too
Both lead to poor results
The journey to disciplined portfolio construction & surviving tough phases to eventually earn long term results starts once we accept that a lot of things in short and medium term are unknowable
@abhishec_s
In markets, falling prices are not the correction
The correction we need is in incorrect expectations
Every year markets fall 10-20%
Some years 20 - 40%
It’s natural
Every year we expect high returns with no corrections
We need to correct the incorrect belief that markets have to rise every month and every year
This correction in belief will make our investing better - real - disciplined
Rewrite
Jan 2000
Tech stocks have only one direction : UP
India’s software companies will dominate global markets in the new millennium
Tech stocks feel unstoppable
I FELL FOR GOOD STORIES - invested
Next 18 months, the tech fund I invested in dropped 80%
Jan 2008
Large caps had run up 7 x in last 4 years
Small caps 15x
India was growing at 10%
We were dreaming of overtaking China
I Invested again. In Infra fund and many infra stocks. A wise man said sell infra stocks and invest in these pharma stocks (had gone no where)
I invested in that one pharma stock and said - I’m wiser - I’m a long term believer of the infra story - shouldn’t sell
Next 12 months, infra fund fell 70%
As of today, the pharma stock is 90% of the stock portfolio. Not because the pharma stock did well. Because all other infra stocks (poor quality - poor governance) lost 90%
These two are my most defining mistakes in investing
Thankfully, on small pool of money. Since then, stopped reading narratives that sound intelligent, interesting and popular
All that matters is - don’t want to lose hard earned money stupidly by blind faith investing
Respect valuations. Respect quality. Respect luck. Avoid greed of past returns and envy for others returns. Accept the truth that most things are unknowable
Be greedy when every one is fearful is no longer a credible quote for investors
Because
Be fearful when every one is greedy is never communicated enough
2024 was a year of good stories and rising nav s for our small cap fund amongst all other funds too
2025 was a year of falling nav hence conventionally a bad year
However for unit collectors - 2025 was a good year
2026 may be better for a unit collector who doesn't give up
It's a bull market for units when its a bear market for nav s

@padhucfp Very nice representation of data highlighting patience and discipline is key and timing doesn't really matters in long term SIP towards the journey of wealth creation👌
As a new investor, if I had Rs. 1 crore to invest today, what questions would I grapple with?
1. What should I buy: stocks, bonds, gold, and silver?
2. In what proportion should I buy?
3. What should my equity mix look like across market caps and sectors?
4. How will I decide when to take profits or re-balance my portfolio?
5. Every time I act, there is a tax impact. How do I ensure taxation does not interrupt my long-term wealth creation?
6. Which asset managers can I trust? How do I find them and stick with them?
Do you have these or similar questions?
To address this, I designed a product.
• A tax-efficient, multi-manager, multi-asset, multi-sector strategy.

In the mutual fund space, there are currently no active microcap funds available for investment. DSP Mutual Fund pioneered microcap investing 18.5 years ago.
DSP Microcap now DSP Small cap fund started with an NAV of Rs. 10 on June 14, 2007, and has grown to Rs. 191.2, representing a remarkable 19 times increase over 18.5 years. This is just for illustrative purpose, not for any recommendation. Do your due diligence before investing.
For those who may not fully grasp how Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) function, I hope this illustration sheds light on their potential. This post is dedicated to those who criticize SIPs without understanding the positive impact they can have on investor behavior.
A systematic investment plan (SIP) of 10,000 over the last 224 months has resulted in an impressive total of 22.4 lakhs, with a staggering current value of 1.76 crores, reflecting a 19.34% XIRR.
In comparison, a lumpsum investment of 1 lakh made 18.5 years ago has grown to 19.2 lakhs.
These figures highlight the potential of disciplined investing and the power of compounding over time.
