Indian Equities gave 0% returns recently while Gold soared 40%. Should you switch? In this episode, Sandeep Bagla (CEO, Trust MF) reveals the $26 Trillion Global Mistake central banks made and why Inflation is the only indicator you need to watch. We also expose the "FD Lie"—why your fixed deposits might be losing value—and reveal the future AI-enabled strategy that could disrupt the market. Topics: Gold vs Equity, Debt Fund Secrets, The Small Cap Bubble.

Takeaways

• The "Inflation + 2%" Rule: Bond yields simply track Expected Inflation + 1.5-2%. Master this single variable, and you understand 80% of the debt market.

• The "Duration" Cheat Code: Beat FDs by buying Long Duration (Gilt) Funds before rates fall. It’s about capturing capital appreciation, not just locking in rates.

• The "Granular" Safety Net: Why no crash despite FII selling? The ₹28,000 Cr/month SIP flow. These are sticky ₹3,000 micro-investments that don't panic-sell like institutions do.

• The "Small Cap" Illusion: A ₹35,000 Cr giant is still labeled "Small Cap" in India! Don't be fooled—the explosive growth is often in the actual small companies that big funds are too large to buy.

• The DIY Trap: Investing is a specialized job. Don't gamble your family's future on DIY stock picks. Follow Buffett’s advice: Trust professional managers with 90% of your wealth.

• The "Gold Signal": Gold beating Equity by 40% signals inflation fear, not a broken market. Do NOT sell your stocks—simply extend your time horizon to 5 years.
