Young Investor

I am writing this series of letters on the art of investing, addressed to a young investor, with the aim to provide timeless wisdom and practical advice that helped me when I was starting out. My goal is to help young investors navigate the complexities of the financial world, avoid misinformation, and harness the power of compounding by starting early with the right principles and actions. This series is part of a joint investor education initiative between Safal Niveshak and DSP Mutual Fund.

Dear Young Investor,

I hope you are doing well, and that the lessons we have covered so far have been helpful in guiding you through the early stages of your investing journey.

In my previous letter, I wrote about the art of waiting—about how patience can be one of the most powerful tools in investing. Today, I want to talk to you about something just as powerful but perhaps more challenging.

It is about the importance of “standing alone.”

Dear Young Investor,

In my previous letter, I wrote about the remarkable power of compounding—how time and consistency can turn small investments into something significant. Today, I want to introduce you to a closely related concept that holds the key to allowing compounding to work its magic.

Dear Young Investor,

I hope you are doing well and are eager to learn more about the financial path ahead of you.

In today’s letter, I want to share an idea that, if you grasp and embrace well, can change your financial destiny in ways you may not have even dreamed of.

It is a force so subtle, yet so powerful, that it is frequently overlooked until its repercussions grow too big to be disregarded. But before I tell you about that, let me tell you a story.

Dear Young Investor,

I hope this letter finds you well and in high spirits.

You remember my uncle whom I had introduced in my previous letter, who taught me that wealth is not about accumulating money but about living a life of purpose, freedom, contentment, and fulfilment?

Well, a few years into his guidance and once I had started earning money, I remember asking him about the ‘operating manual for money’ that did not exist – and still does not – unlike most things in life that come with a manual on how to operate them.

Think about it. When you buy a new gadget, it comes with a booklet explaining how to use it, maintain it, and even troubleshoot it when things go wrong. But when it comes to money, something we use every day and crucial to our lives, there is no manual handed over. You are left to figure it out on your own, often learning through trial and error, sometimes at a great cost.

Dear Young Investor,

I hope this letter finds you in great spirits.

I am happy to know that you have decided to become an investor and start at a young age. This is a great idea because an early start is an important step in your journey. I will talk more about the power of an early start as we move deeper into this series of letters.

You may be wondering, like all young ones do, “Why this series of letters on how to become an investor? Isn’t there enough information on the Internet already on how to invest to get rich fast?”
