Given the rising cases of work-related burnouts in India, it’s important to understand the potential benefits and challenges associated with this policy in the Indian context.

«Nifty has hit new highs, but Bank Nifty has not hit new highs, so there is some unfinished business and components of Bank Nifty are looking positive on the chart. So, I maintain constructive view on Bank Nifty compared to Nifty and before the event we could consolidate in a tight range,» says Aditya Arora, Adlytick. Around 100 points of correction that we are seeing in Nifty today after touching life high, where do you expect the markets to head going forward, do you expect them to consolidate at current levels? Aditya Arora: Yes, I agree with you, Nifty is expected to consolidate in a narrow range because we have Fed event lined up on 17th and 18th of September, which is a very big trigger for the market. Just to bring forward a very interesting fact, we had Federal meeting on 17th and 18th of September in 2007 as well, and this is much awaited rate cut after almost three to four years. So, market will watch out for some key numbers. Like, last time Nifty shot up almost 4% in 2007, but what I am trying to say is that we can expect 2% to 4% kind of volatility in the market post the event, prior to that Nifty may consolidate in a wide range and Bank Nifty looks pretty constructive compared to Nifty because there is some unfinished business over there.

«The forex has been relatively stable. So, we have got to see how this navigates. For us, we have got a very clear, focused strategy to deliver growth and be in the top two in incremental growth, as you have seen in the quarter that went by,» says Rajiv Rajgopal, MD, Akzo Nobel India. Given that crude is such a crucial raw material for you, tell me the dip below 70, how is that impacting your life? Rajiv Rajgopal: Look, as far as the crude is concerned, the dip had gone down to almost $68. It has come back to 70, so it is a little unpredictable at this point of time. Firstly, whatever little benefits that come, you would see it more accrue in the next quarter and more likely in the fourth quarter if this continues.

Ravi Dharamshi, CIO, ValueQuest Investment Advisors, says the generalization that the entire market is expensive tends to miss out on a lot of nuances. There are pockets where there is overvaluation and there are pockets where there is some opportunity present from the next three to five years. India is making itself stand apart from the rest of the world because it is driven by domestic flows. It is driven by much stronger fundamentals. While a correction cannot be ruled out, we are not on the verge of a crash or any crisis that will lead to capital disruption. Right now, the big trigger is going to be coming in from the Fed midweek, but other than that, it is a global rally in place, be it for the US, be it for us. For us, the FIIs also now have made a comeback. How are you feeling about the market? Ravi Dharamshi: There is a lot of scepticism, justifiably through the valuations. But valuations are a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition for the markets to correct. I would say the generalization that the entire market is expensive tends to miss out on a lot of nuances. There are pockets where there is overvaluation and there are pockets where there is some opportunity present from the next three to five years.

Terry Fox had run the length of a marathon a day during his journey across Canada, she was shocked.Like most Canadians, Adhiya had known about the icon’s 1980 mission to raise funds for cancer research through a 4,700-mile run from Newfoundland to British Columbia, but not much about Fox’s childhood, the day-to-day grind of his run and his deep connection to his supporters.The editor and writer’s new book, Hope by Terry Fox, published this month by ECW Press and Burman Books, explores who Fox was beyond what he called his Marathon of Hope through interviews, journal excerpts, letters and photos.“As Canadians, we adore him for very good reason, and he is our iconic hero,” Adhiya said. “But I think this book allows you to really understand the depth of who he was as a human being.”“This is hope, as Terry Fox would teach you.”Fox, of Port Coquitlam, B.C., was 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had to have his right leg amputated.

retirement. About 12 years ago, he took a life insurance policy worth Rs. 25 lakh. He feels he is covered sufficiently with this policy and investments in case of any emergency. He believes he only needs to top up his life cover as he prepares for family life. Is this the right approach? Sinha is planning well, but he needs to continue funding for his goals. The risk of an untimely death could disrupt his investment plans and leave his family without a stable income. A term insurance policy is ideal for covering such risks. However, it’s important to review coverage at each life stage, and starting a family is a good time for this. He should consider inflation, his financial situation, dependants, and his family’s needs in his absence. Just as death is a possibility one cannot ignore, so is the loss of earning capacity. A personal accident policy meets the need for replacing loss of income. Sinha must look for a comprehensive policy, which covers all contingencies: death, permanent total disability, permanent partial disability, and temporary total disability.

The voracious appetite among MF investors is evident in the flows pouring into funds. Gross money invested via systematic investment plans (SIPs) surged to an all-time high of Rs.23,547 crore in August. The total number of SIP accounts reached 9.61 crore, while the folio count surpassed 20 crore. The share of equity funds in total AUM now constitutes 62% of the industry’s AUM—an all time high—showing a growing appetite for risk. Individual share in total AUM has grown from 54.9% to 63.2%. However, investors are not simply putting more money in the existing funds in their baskets. They are adding new funds in a bid to boost their returns. This is a familiar story in every bull market. As fund performance kicks into higher gear and gets entrenched, investors start getting adventurous. They start fishing for bigger opportunities for outsized return. Recent table-toppers are the obvious targets for most. A recent study by ICICIdirect.com shows that investors have been piling on schemes that have topped the charts in the past three years.

loan against shares (LAS) is a way to access liquidity without selling valuable shares. This enables investors to leverage their equity portfolio to meet immediate financial needs, such as business expansion or personal expenses. How LAS works Under LAS, investors may pledge their shares as collateral to secure a loan. Banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) offer this service, with the loan amount usually capped at 50% of the market value of the pledged shares. The borrower can continue to retain ownership of the shares, enjoy dividends and voting rights. However, the shares are held in a demat account, with a pledge marked in favour of the lender until the loan is repaid. The loan can be structured as a lump sum or an overdraft facility, giving flexibility to the borrower. Eligibility

The sooner the people of the state realise this and deal with them, the faster the state will grow. These three are JMM, RJD and Congress,” he said, adding that while RJD still blames Jharkhand for Bihar’s backwardness, Congress has ignored the rights of the state and tribals for decades, and JMM does not espouse the cause of tribals.
