Are you navigating the Share Market in India and looking to protect your hard-earned capital? In this exclusive panel session, market veterans Mr. Rajeev Thakkar (Chief Investment Officer & Director, PPFAS Mutual Fund) and Mr. S Naren (Executive Director & Chief Investment Officer, ICICI Prudential AMC) discuss the crucial, yet often ignored, "Art of Not Losing Money" when investing in Indian Stocks.

While chasing returns is glamorous, protecting your downside is the foundation of long-term wealth. This video covers vital concepts worth researching, such as proper asset allocation, the importance of maintaining an emergency corpus, and how to identify value traps versus genuine opportunities in sectors like IT. Furthermore, Mr. S Naren shares historical insights on retail participation in derivatives, highlighting why highly leveraged F&O trades are often segments never worth buying for the everyday investor. You will also learn a powerful psychological framework to manage your portfolio: treating the act of "selling" as "switching" between assets.
