markets UPS Strategy wellness Cycling inclusion Fund Manager Talk | Nimesh Chandan spots 2 behavioral biases driving investor decisions in a falling market

Nimesh Chandan, CIO of Bajaj Finserv AMC, identifies two key behavioral biases — fear and loss aversion — driving investor decisions in the current market downturn. As portfolios decline 30-40% from their peaks, many investors panic, close their SIPs, or hesitate to deploy fresh capital despite attractive long-term opportunities. Chandan explains how these emotions lead to irrational decision-making and what investors can do to navigate volatility with a disciplined approach. Edited excerpts from a chat: The year 2025 is clearly turning out to be nightmarish for retail investors, particularly those heavily invested in smaller stocks. As high PE stocks have moderated quite a bit, do you see more pain ahead or gradual recovery as we step into FY26? In the history of financial markets, one learns that though events may be unique, behavioural patterns are the same. Up to September last year, investors were experiencing a strong rally leading to quick gains in the equity markets. Especially, the mid cap and the small cap categories were seeing a strong up move. In many stocks of these categories, valuations were at or near all-time highs. Typically, such moves also set the ground for a correction. When there is even a small downgrade or disappointment, stocks fall sharply. Now, in many sectors, the valuations are back to reasonable levels. However, even in the current market, risk-reward is more favorable in large caps. Selective areas of mid cap and small cap stocks are now looking attractive.

Provident MET security Bill consequences Should you stop investing in PPF, SSY, NPS when switching to the new tax regime?

new tax regime has become even more alluring after the personal income tax amendments in Budget 2025. However, this shift comes with a price — the inability to claim deductions on investments that save taxes. For investors who primarily invested in Section 80C instruments to avail tax benefits, the shift to the new tax regime presents an important dilemma—should they continue with these investments or discontinue them altogether? While the new tax regime eliminates the advantage of deductions, discontinuing certain investments like Public Provident Fund (PPF), Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY), and National Pension System (NPS) without careful consideration can have unintended consequences.

Anushka Sharma recently took to Instagram to share a thought-provoking message about the way different people perceive us. She reflected on how the image we hold of ourselves is not necessarily the same as the way others see us. She pointed out that our family members, colleagues, and acquaintances all form their own distinct impressions of us, and in essence, multiple versions of our identity exist in the minds of those who interact with us. On her Instagram post, Anushka Sharma shared a quote that read, “A different version of you exists in the minds of everyone who knows you. The person you think of as ‘yourself’ only exists for you, and even you don’t really know who that is. Every person you meet, have a relationship with, or make eye contact on the street with, creates a version of ‘you’ in their heads." She elaborated further, writing, «You’re not the same person to your mom, your dad, your siblings than you are to your co-workers, your neighbors or your friends. There are a thousand different versions of yourself out there, in people’s minds. A ‘you’ exists in each version and yet your ‘you’, ‘yourself’ isn’t really a ‘someone’ at all.»
