Consistence performance – A habit
Country's most trusted and largest circulated investment fortnightly, Dalal Street Investment Journal had started its journey 31 years back from now to deliver unbiased, effective and pricy research on stock markets to its valued reader-investors. As we celebrate yet another anniversary, we are here today to look back at our past recommendations of stocks to remind you about the quantum of returns that those have clocked since recommended.
Risk appetite
If ones goes to a restaurant and looks for picking up food from a buffet, the person is lured by the variety of cuisines. From elaborate set of starters to main course to desserts-all look interesting and yummy. The person who eats only knows his appetite and choices. However, while selecting the right menu for oneself, one should be aware of the appetite. Similarly, in a stock market an investor is lured by all types of stocks, small-cap, penny stocks, mid-caps and large-caps. One should select the stocks based on how much downside risk he/she has the appetite for. Considering the risks of the products, we design products that can best address the different risk appetites of the investors.
Investment horizon
Investment horizon has so much to do with an investor's level of patience and it emanates from risk appetite. Weaving together the two factors mentioned above, we try to bridge gaps in our offerings to the investors.
Investment philosophies
For companies it is important to keep innovating. As per Scott Belsky, co-founder of Behance-it’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen. Going by this old saying, we developed elaborate models following various investment philosophies so that it is easy for an investor to invest in various established investing modules. We wanted to convert for the investors the technical jargons of investing into easily understandable products. The quantification of the ideas of various gurus, choosing and picking up correct financial and subjective parameters and backtesting went into developing this products. We purely believe that investment philosophies can be different but goal is to provide investors with returns over their invested capitals.
It’s our constant endeavour to improve our offering and products to provide value to investors. We believe our journey has begun and would like to travel far built on trust of our customers. Thanks for believing in us and being with us all these years. We are sure you will continue to be with us, not just because we are the best but we are the most trusted.
