At the India Today Conclave 2024, Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, emphasized the importance of long-term, disciplined investing, which she called "Dal-Chawal Investing." She advised keeping 80% of investments in core, stable assets for steady growth, similar to how a basic meal provides essential nourishment. Gupta noted that younger investors are more willing to take risks but cautioned against relying too heavily on high-risk funds, likening them to "pickle and chutney." Balance and discipline, she believes, are key to navigating market ups and downs.
