Hi - I happened upon your blog after a friend forwarded me your tweet on the daylight robbery of HDFCs massive actively managed cash machines that consistently underperform the market. I totally subscribe to the same view on passive vs active. I worked in fin services in New York for 5 years (index trading, ETF market making, equity trading) before moving back to India last year, and couldn't believe the proliferation of these funds vs under penetration of passive ones (and ETFs!). I'd love to chat more about indexing and the passive world, and maybe even write/collaborate. I subscribed to you newsletters, but don't see any way to actually reach out to you directly, so have dropped this comment here - Jaisal
@passivefool, whats your rant on balance advantage fund? I think the ICICI Pru Balance Adv Fund or the HDFC Balance Fund is decent. Care to explain your rationale?
Wondering what you think about something like this: https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/columns/aarati-krishnan/why-india-needs-a-vanguard/article25519294.ece

Just great piece as usual.
I'm getting a feeling that our fool has become a little mature now. Talking like an understanding big brother, rather than an angry young teenager
Now each time I see a fund manager on TV I'll remember Rakhi.
Great piece as usual.
