[Podcast] The Strategy that Helps You Stay Invested: Capitalmind Anchor[Podcast] The Strategy that Helps You Stay Invested: Capitalmind Anchor

 

Your investment strategy did 18.5% CAGR. You got 8.5%. Same strategy. Same period. The gap isn't bad luck—it's behaviour.

Most portfolio damage doesn't happen during the crash, it happens when investors panic and exit at the wrong time.

In this episode, we break down why sequence risk and drawdown timing matter more than average returns, and introduces Anchor, Capitalmind PMS's new strategy built to keep you invested through the worst market conditions.

Shray sits down with Akanksha Maulik (who runs Capitalmind's PMS business) and Krishna Appala (the fund manager behind Anchor) to talk about a product that's been quietly in the works for a while. It's not a stock strategy. It's not chasing alpha. It's a rule-based basket of hybrid mutual funds designed to keep you invested when everything around you is telling you to run.

If you're 100% in equities and have never thought about what happens to your goals when a bad market shows up at exactly the wrong time, this one's worth your hour.
