Weekly Portfolio performance chart

This week, Nifty is down by 0.73%. 

The Nifty Index hit 15451.50 on the lower side and hit 15901.60 on the upper side and ended at 15719.85.

Model 1 & Model 2

This was one of the worst weeks for Model 1 and Model 2. Model 1 is down 11.06% and model 2 was down 6.96%.


Such a huge downside deserves an explanation, and we have one for you.  


The first factor was the buzz around Adani stocks, which made up a large holding of our portfolio as of last week. Adani’s listed stocks came under the scanner due to reports saying that some of their biggest investors are Mauritius based shell accounts. Though nothing was proven, the thought itself was compelling enough for retail investors to sell all of Adani’s shares and drive the price tanking. (See Adani Total Gas Ltd)


The second factor was the FOMC meeting where the US Federal Reserve hinted at unwinding stimulus by 2023 leading to massive selloffs everywhere. Yes, even a 'hint' from the US Fed can drive markets across the world.

Does this mean that you should stop investing for the long term? Absolutely not. We are still confident in the long term performance of our models and the Indian growth story.
