Hi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings from your friendly neighbourhood brokerage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an exciting time. Both the Sensex and Nifty 50 hit their all-time peaks this fortnight. To us, though, such times are when you should think of risk. That\u2019s core to a lot of what we\u2019re writing, from Bhuvan\u2019s meditations on bear markets to Vineet\u2019s primer on assessing the risk of your debt investments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closer home, a lot\u2019s been happening with us. We just launched Instant Withdrawals<\/a>, which lets you draw funds from your Zerodha account within seconds. Meanwhile, we\u2019re also breaking new ground in financial education with Varsity Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dive right in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s on our mind<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can you gamify the stock market? Can you let people make \u2018fantasy\u2019 trades, or share their trading strategies with others? Well, you need to be mindful of the law. But if you want to make good, investor-friendly products with enough checks and balances, there are ways of doing so, writes our founder, Nithin Kamath<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our markets haven\u2019t had a bad drawdown in over a decade. In times like these, it\u2019s easy to learn wrong lessons and become optimistic to the point of stupidity. Bear markets cleanse. They feel like a punch in the face, sure, but there are things you\u2019ll never learn unless you\u2019ve been through one<\/a>, writes Bhuvan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing Varsity Live<\/a>: India\u2019s first \u2018learn by doing\u2019 experience for financial education. Imagine being able to build your own personal finance plan, draw trend lines or analyse a balance sheet \u2013 all while attending a live class. All programmes are mentor-led and feature live animation and state-of-the-art production to keep you engaged. Come, join us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your debt fund could have a very low credit risk, but a high interest rate risk. Either way, the risk of capital loss remains. The PRC Matrix in your fund’s factsheet shows the kind and level of risk carried in the fund. Explore how to read the PRC Matrix<\/a> in this post by Vineet Rajani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
