They are ubiquitous and convenient, and yet, they are seen to lack the prestige of a fine dining experience aka Private Equity et al. In this episode, we take on the big question: Are mutual funds only for the salaried middle class, or is there a bigger story here? Deepak and Shray dive deep into the history and perception of mutual funds, from their once-exclusive status to becoming the go-to vehicle for SIPs and forced savings.  But why don\u2019t you hear family offices or the ultra-wealthy proudly boasting about their mutual fund holdings? We explore this through the lens of economic class distinctions (India A, B, and C) and unpack how perceptions of exclusivity and quality affect investment choices. Whether you're planning for retirement, your child\u2019s education, or just wondering if your portfolio is too \u201cplain vanilla,\u201d this is a conversation that will make you rethink how you view mutual funds. -- 0:00 \u2013 Intro 3:29 \u2013 Choosing Exclusivity Over Simplicity 7:34 \u2013 Volatility Laundering 20:32 \u2013 Liquidity in University Endowment Funds 31:49 \u2013 Alternative Investments 38:58 \u2013 Mutual Funds vs Other Investments 44:12 \u2013 Why not hire a personal fund manager? 48:04 \u2013 Advantages and Disadvantages of Mutual Funds 1:12:26 \u2013 Use cases for Mutual Funds 1:22:41 \u2013 Who are Mutual Funds not for? -- More about us: https:\/\/cm.social\/pms Connect with us : https:\/\/cm.social\/pms-connect Deepak's Twitter: @deepakshenoy Shray\u2019s Twitter: @shraychandra Capitalmind Twitter: @capitalmind_in ","author_name":"Capitalmind with Deepak & Shray","author_url":"https:\/\/www.capitalmind.in","html":"
