Chances are that you did not account for the exact pattern of gains or losses, or the order in which your investment returns occur. This is what is referred to as ‘sequence of returns’ risk. It is the risk of negative returns occurring later in your working years and/or early in your retirement life. It particularly comes into play during the five years before and five years after retirement— the ‘fragile decade’. Investors in this phase of their lives are most vulnerable to sequence of returns risk. Why is this risk a killer? Let us see with an example. Suppose two investors, A and B, start their retirement years with the same corpus of Rs.1 crore. They avoid withdrawals for the initial 10 years. Two different market scenarios play out for A and B, where the returns are identical, except that they occur in reverse order. A’s portfolio witnesses higher returns in the initial years, but lower returns than B’s portfolio in later years. In both scenarios, the Rs.1 crore initial pot would fetch the same amount of Rs.1.75 crore at the end of 10 years, with the market averaging 7.3% return annually. Both are on an even footing, despite a contrasting pattern of market returns.

Lok Sabha elections with a scathing attack on Narendra Modi government, accusing it of subverting democracy and Constitution. All major Opposition leaders — Sonia Gandhi, son Rahul, daughter Priyanka, Mallikarjun Kharge, Sharad Pawar, Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, Sitaram Yechury, D Raja, Uddhav Thackerary, son Aditya, Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti, Champai Soren — came together at 'Loktantra Bachao Rally' to press for the release of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Jharkhand's former CM Hemant Soren. Kejriwal's March 21 arrest is the immediate trigger for the entire Opposition to come together, but the finer optics of the rally went far beyond. For starters, Trinamool Congress, which could not hammer out a seat-sharing pact with the Congress in West Bengal, came out strongly in support of the INDIA bloc, with leader Derek O'Brien stating that his party «was, is and will be with INDIA bloc». Sonia, who has been keeping away from most public engagements, made a rare appearance and sat next to Kejriwal's wife Sunita to show her support. Two chairs were kept empty on the stage for Kejriwal and Soren to emphasise that Opposition leaders' arrest by central investigative agencies was the central point of the rally.
