Narayani Gupta gathered where else but at the India International Centre for the release of a Festschrift on her. It is a measure of the calibre of the audience that most of them knew the meaning of that Germanic word so beloved of academics and applauded appreciatively as the book was unveiled. For the uninitiated, a Festschrift, literally 'celebration writing', is a collection of essays published in honour of a scholar and presented to them at a landmark event such as retirement or birthday. As the contributors are usually that scholar's peers and friends, such volumes are also called liber amicorum or 'book of friends'. It inevitably has a virtual avatar nowadays too called Webfestschrift, and if published after a scholar's death the compilation is called a Gedenkschrift. The Germanic overtone notwithstanding, Festschrifts are fairly commonplace in academic circles around the world, although initially there were more of these for luminaries in the field of sciences rather than humanities. Now such epistolary toasts are routinely brought out on poets and legal eagles (in India, Keki Daruwala and Nani Palkhivala come to mind), administrators and conservationists, economists and librarians, diplomats and theologians, even journalists.

My colleague and lead smallcap analyst at Equitymaster, Richa Agarwal, recently wrote this about insider buying amid this market correction. “If you have been following my articles, one of the things I track for my watch list is insider action. Unlike in the case of IPOs, which flourish in overvalued markets allowing promoters to monetise their stake at the best price possible, open market purchases by promoters in listed companies amid a market correction are a good starting point to dig further. As owners of the business, they are the majority stakeholders with the longest-term horizon in most cases. If they are willing to buy a meaningful quantity of stock with their personal money at the market price, it signals confidence." Her analysis is bang-on and I 100% agree with her.

mutual funds or schemes that invest mostly in equity and debt fare better in an uncertain or volatile environment. Mutual fund experts believe that the markets are likely to be cautious and investors should also proceed with caution. Aggressive hybrid funds are one of the popular hybrid mutual fund categories. These schemes are mandated to invest in a mix of equity (or stocks) and debt. As per Sebi norms, these schemes must invest 65-80% in stocks, and 20-35% in debt. This mixed portfolio helps to deal with the market volatility better. When the equity market is in turmoil, the debt part of the portfolio softens the blow. This helps new investors to continue with their investments without worrying too much about volatility. Also Read | Best value funds to invest in November 2024
