Markets can test your patience. How do you decide where your money belongs?
In this episode of Paisa Vaisa, host Anupam Gupta welcomes back Ashish Shanker, MD & CEO of Motilal Oswal Wealth, for a conversation about building wealth, allocating capital and investing through difficult market phases.
Ashish shares lessons from his journey in financial services and from working with Raamdeo Agrawal. He explains why his own portfolio remains entirely in equities, including substantial holdings through company ESOPs, alongside the importance he places on asset allocation and diversification for investors.
The conversation explores hybrid funds, SIPs, US equities and gold, the case for smallcaps and midcaps, and investment opportunities across manufacturing, digital businesses, capital markets and power. They also discuss learning from investment mistakes, staying patient when returns disappoint and estimating how much money retirement requires.
