Should you time the market?
Sandeep Tandon, Quant MF CEO: We have to break a lot of myths that we have been taught for long-term. I’ll say managing long-term especially. Timing is what? Timing is a risk mitigation tool. We are not talking about trading.
“Every investor wants to time the market.”
As a student of management, we’ve been taught right place, right thing. Every investor, every trader, every fund manager, every business wants to time the market. You tell me who doesn’t want to time the market, says Tandon.
Is timing the same as trading?
It’s there as such a deep-rooted concept. For us it’s not trading, it’s a risk mitigation tool.
Is timing the right approach?
When we talk about timing aspect, timing the market is important. I look at timing from the experience perspective. Now when you say timing the market is not important, time in the market is, I think, it’s a bogus thesis.
Breaking the myth
Timing is a risk mitigation tool and people should change themselves. And we’re demonstrating that mathematically it can be demonstrated. And look at our performance, you’ll get that answer, says Quant MF’s Tandon.
