This Diwali reimagine your portfolio using family structure
Diwali is a festival of light. It is a festival where we decorate our homes with flowers, and light diyas. Diwali mornings begin with the sight of “Genda phools” being turned into garlands and the rangolis being drawn.
Evenings are when we actually light the “Diya” and drive away the proverbial darkness.
Grandparents tell tales of how “good triumphed over evil”, while the kids get lost in the tales and myths. Kids run around the house while elders are busy running the house — preparing, cleaning, decorating, and arranging food.
Apart from the festivities and the rituals, what gives Diwali the ideal festival is the getting together of families. Different family members come together and celebrate. Each family member brings his own uniqueness and characteristics, making interactions obnoxious, fun and even hilarious.
It is these different people that add color to the festival of light.
Imagine if your investments were people, how would they be? What would be their characteristics? How would they behave when put together in one room? Let’s find out.
If large cap companies were a person, it would be like a wise mature man or woman with lots of money. Probably self-made with multiple stories to tell.
Probably a little rigid in their way but are generally dependable and welcoming, having the ability to put people at ease.
Their reputation precedes them as many people would say nice things about them, even behind their back. A small percentage of these older people could also have a quirky or a creative side where they indulge in “trendy”, “modern” or “new age” behavior. This could be trying out a new dance move or signing up for a new course or learning a new skill.
