Podcast: How arbitrage funds might have systemic risk on a tax-rule change

"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck", goes the saying.

Podcast: Why SEBI should implement India's EDGAR and more

Recently, as of 7th September 2022, total Demat accounts in India touched the 10 crore mark. This is a staggering increase from 40 crore Demat accounts in Mach 2020. This alone is a testimony of increased participation and inclusion of individuals in Indian markets. More and more Indians, especially youngsters, are taking to investing in equities enabled by their smartphones - digital broking, increased information access, and social media influence. The whole securities (stock) market ecosystem has evolved immensely over the past decade and deserves a lot of credit for the recent growth in the participation of new investors. At the helm of the ecosystem sits our regulators who are responsible to enable, guide, protect and watch the market participants to ensure that we have a fair and thriving market. In this episode, Deepak and Shray talk about the role SEBI can play in shaping the future of the markets. They talk about data warehousing, data accessibility, regulatory enhancements, bond markets, disclosures & reporting, and a lot more that would make our markets more accessible.

Podcast: Turbulent times - RBI thrives, Fed fumbles

. Markets are slaves of earnings and liquidity. Liquidity has taken prominence after the coronavirus outbreak. At first, central banks across the world increased liquidity by cutting rates and helping their populace to live through the pandemic. Then the after effects of increasing liquidity hit - increased inflation. Now, the same banks are sucking out liquidity by increasing interest rates to counter inflation. The looming after effect of increasing rates is the "r" word that is too pious to speak loudly. In this podcast, Deepak & Shray discuss the two central banks that impact us the most - RBI and FED (Federal Reserve System, USA). What makes this podcast interesting is that we are looking at everything from the lens of who does better - FED or RBI? .

CAMS IPO: Should you invest?

Computer Age Management Services Limited (CAMS) has filed DRHP with the SEBI for its upcoming IPO. We take a look to see if one should subscribe. Penetration of mutual funds in India is 11% as compared to the world average of 55%. Majority of financial savings are in physical assets. Increase in penetration rates of mutual funds and a shift in savings from physical assets to financial assets provides a huge runway for companies like CAMS. CAMS has 70% market share in a two player market, favourable return ratios and not much need for capital investments. Albeit expensive at the IPO offer price, the growth runway and current duopoly make this an attractive issue to subscribe.
