What do HNIs and family offices invest in beyond traditional stocks and mutual funds?
On this episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta speaks with Sachin Sawrikar, Founder and Managing Partner at Artha Bharat, about alternative investments, global diversification, GIFT City and how sophisticated investors approach portfolio construction.
Sachin breaks down the world of distressed assets, private credit, hedge funds, arbitrage and gold, while explaining why alternatives are increasingly becoming part of HNI and family-office portfolios. He also shares how distressed-debt investing works, including the risks involved and why seemingly troubled assets can sometimes create unusual investment opportunities.
The conversation explores why Indian investors should think about global diversification, the opportunities available through GIFT City, and what investors need to understand before committing money to alternative investments.
Sachin also highlights some important red flags: manager skin in the game, hidden fees, illiquidity, unrealistic return expectations and investment products being sold for commissions rather than suitability.
Finally, he shares a simple principle for long-term wealth creation: stay consistent, diversify intelligently and keep investing simple.
From decoding your personal finances to demystifying business models, Paisa Vaisa delivers candid, insightful, and jargon-free conversations.
