3 year monthly SIP return of Multi Asset Mutual Funds. (Data till 25th Sept)

Fund Score is calculated by assigning
1. 10 points for best XIRR, 9 points for 2nd best & so on.
2. 10 points for least Std Dev & so on.
3. Then both 1 & 2 points are summed up to get to Fund Score.

Fund Score's goal is to kinda map out funds on a comparative basis which has given the highest return with least volatility.

Claude feels much more intelligent than Gemini.

Asked Flash 3.8 & Sonnet 5 to write the same code and tell rashi, lagna with birth chart. In both Claude did much better. Gemini totally got my rashi, lagna wrong.

It's interesting because amount of employees, data, capital etc. Google has much more than Anthropic.

Accumulated 5388 Mutual Fund units last month.

My first 'personal' goal is to hit 2,00,000 units of this particular portfolio. (And no, goal isn't to buy any random funds with lower NAV just to reach 2L units)

Small small steps 🏃 → Financial Freedom 💸

India had one of its worst monsoon season in 10+ years. 🌧

As per IMD, rainfall during the June to September 2026 monsoon season was 12.6% below the long-term average. Making this shortfall the worst since 2015.

This increases risk of food prices rising. 🇮🇳

You have just received your salary.

Don't forget:
⚡️ Save 'minimum' 30-40% of it.
⚡️ Don't leave all of it in Savings account or FD.
⚡️ Invest in yourself first (Courses, Study Materials, gym etc.)
⚡️ Invest in a family health insurance. If sole earner, term insurance too.
⚡️ Invest rest of the savings as per your asset allocation in index funds, gold, bitcoin.

US electronics retail chain Best Buy is transitioning from its own GCC in India to handing it over completely to TCS.

One of the first such movement away from GCC to an Indian IT company.

TCS will now completely handle whatever Best Buy’s own GCC was delivering.

In the world of quantum & AI - importance of physical gold in personal custody increases.

With AI its much easier to crack encryption, hack into databases, mess with websites etc.

And at the end of the day - savings bank account, FD, stocks are all 0s & 1s in some database.

Not saying all of these are unsafe or sell everything; just saying to be mindful, be aware & be prepared.

Currently cyber attacks by a nation state is considered low to medium threat.

In an AI world, I believe that threat level will increase drastically.

Initial phases of war will be AI agents attacking each other. Chinese AI agents will try to bring down US grid system or get into banking infra; and vice versa.

Country with most data centers, GPUs & its own SOTA foundation model - will have much higher chance of winning future wars.

> PPFAS Flexi Cap & Nifty 50 are both back in most bought list. The week prior it was out.

> Mid & Small Cap funds continue to fetch inflows.

> Seems like people are moving money from arbitrage to equity funds.

This is from mutual fund platform Kuvera's last week platform data: https://kuvera.in/blog/top-news-and-market-movers-this-week-01st-october-2026/

Soon countries will allocate some portion of its defense budget in developing, maintaining & improving LLM models.

Now having a well trained LLM is as important as having a well trained military.

Not having an SOTA LLM is a national security threat.

If the world goes agentic, what happens to the internet's ad model?

I can simply ask my AI agent to go buy 1kg whey protein of SIR brand on Amazon & it will do it.

Basically I don't see any ads in the whole process which is a major revenue source of many sites.

Lets not forget, Amazon makes more money from ads on its site than sales.

From all the EPFO issues I hear, these days EPF seems like a ‘forced-lottery’.

You are forced to save some amount in it each month for your entire working life.

And then when you need it & withdrawing - its like a lucky draw.

If you’re lucky enough you will get the amount.

During business travel, a hotel room that I used to book for ₹7,700 per night last year.

This year it's costing me ₹11,000; exact same room & exact same hotel.

That's 43% price increase in 1 year. Interesting. Seems like most Indians now travel a lot.
