Paperela Undo A) Leading the gains is our largest holding, which has surged by an impressive 61.6%. It is a company in the aerospace and defence space with a very healthy and growing order book. A mid-sized upstream oil and gas company, which holds the second-largest weight in our portfolio, has also shown strong performance with a 26.5% increase. Our third-largest company is a life insurance company that is part of the Nifty 50 index, which had modest gains of ~5% for the month of June. Live Events These results underscore our balanced approach, capturing high-growth potential while maintaining exposure to stable, long-term value creators. Q) It is a newly launched fund, but the numbers are impressive especially for the past few months. Please take us through the investment objective? A) Our goal is to compound capital steadily over time without taking undue risk. We follow a disciplined, value-oriented approach, focusing on high-quality, consistent compounders temporarily overlooked by the market. This disconnect often creates a favourable risk-reward equation, allowing us to enter at attractive valuations. We believe growth and value are joined at the hip, true value lies in sustainable growth trading at attractive prices. Simply put: buy quality when it's out of favour and let compounding do the heavy lifting. It's not about chasing momentum, but about patience, conviction, and a long-term perspective. Q) Being sector and market cap agnostic gives you wide flexibility. How do you ensure diversification and risk management without restricting yourself to specific segments? A) We do run a fairly concentrated portfolio, but we ensure adequate diversification by limiting exposure to any one sector, typically, we avoid having more than two holdings from the same space. Our value-conscious investment style acts as a natural risk filter. We're not in the business of paying up for growth, which helps us avoid frothy valuations and the risks that come with them. This bottom-up discipline allows us to stay selective, reduce downside risk, and compound capital efficiently over the long term. Q) How do you assess management quality, especially when investing in family-owned companies versus professionally run firms? Are there different evaluation parameters? A) Management quality is a cornerstone of our investment process. We prioritize companies led by leadership teams with a proven track record. We remain vigilant for red flags such as frequent equity dilution or questionable related-party transactions. Additionally, in professionally managed firms, incentive alignment plays a crucial role; we carefully assess ESOP structures and compensation policies to ensure management's interests are closely tied to long-term shareholder value creation. Q) You hold a portion of your portfolio in liquid ETFs. Could you share your strategy behind maintaining cash equivalents in your portfolio? Is it tactical or a consistent allocation? A) We currently maintain a portion of the portfolio in liquid ETFs, and this is a tactical decision rather than a structural allocation. There's an old market adage in the equity markets that says you either get good prices or good news, seldom at the same time. In the current environment, particularly in the mid and small-cap segments, valuations are stretched, and sentiments are running high. That calls for a degree of restraint. We believe it's prudent to keep some dry powder ready. This cash position gives us the flexibility to deploy when more compelling opportunities emerge. Q) Let's talk about markets. Well, we have seen volatile 1H2025 but bulls managed to have an upper hand. How do you see markets panning out for the rest of the calendar year? A) There are numerous macroeconomic factors in flux, ranging from inflation dynamics and interest rate policies to global geopolitical developments. Given this complex backdrop, the market appears somewhat elevated at current levels. This suggests the possibility of a meaningful correction, either in terms of price or time, before we can expect a sustained rally. In such an environment, it has become increasingly difficult to scout for genuine value opportunities. Q) What is your wealth creation mantra which have worked for you? It could be a ratio or metric which you always track. A) Over the years, I've realized that cash flow is paramount. If a company has generated positive operating cash flow consistently for the past decade, it's a strong signal that's hard to overlook, as very few companies meet this benchmark. Alongside cash flow, I closely track incremental Return on Capital Employed, which has been a reliable metric in identifying quality wealth creators.

Yes Bank shares in focus after Q1 PAT zooms 59% YoY

Shares of Yes Bank are likely to be in focus on Monday, July 21, following the announcement of its strong Q1FY26 results. The private lender reported a 59% year-on-year (YoY) jump in standalone profit after tax (PAT), which stood at Rs 801 crore, compared to Rs 502 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year. The significant rise in net profit was driven by a combination of higher non-interest income and an improvement in net interest income (NII). Yes Bank reported a 5.7% YoY increase in NII, which came in at Rs 2,371 crore for Q1FY26, aided by a reduction in the cost of funds. On a sequential basis, NII grew by 4.2%.

Yes Bank's net interest margin (NIM) for Q1FY26 stood at 2.5%, reflecting an upward trend on a year-on-year (YoY) basis. The improvement was driven by reductions in deposits related to the priority sector lending (PSL) shortfall and savings account (SA) rate cuts, partially offset by repricing impacts. Live Events Total interest income for the quarter stood at Rs 7,596 crore, down 1.6% from Rs 7,719 crore reported in the same quarter of the previous year. Interest expenses also declined by 4.6% YoY to Rs 5,224.41 crore, compared to Rs 5,475 crore a year ago. Yes Bank's asset quality remained stable, with improvements seen in both gross non-performing assets (GNPA) and net non-performing assets (NNPA) ratios on a YoY basis. On Friday, shares of Yes Bank closed flat at Rs 20.17 on BSE. ( Disclaimer : Recommendations, suggestions, views, and opinions given by the experts are their own.

System vs System: Why crypto needs a culture of relentless security

In the early years of crypto, the dominant narrative was often adversarial: crypto vs. traditional systems, decentralization vs. control, innovation vs. regulation. But that framing is no longer useful—nor is it accurate. What we are witnessing today is not a battle of ideology, but of resilience. This shift reflects a growing realization: the long-term viability of crypto depends on building systems that are not just open and inclusive, but fundamentally secure. In this new age, cybersecurity isn't a support function—it is the foundation. Whether you're an exchange safeguarding billions in user assets, a developer launching a smart contract, or a retail investor using self-custody wallets, security determines whether your system can withstand stress, fraud, and attacks. Without traditional intermediaries, the burden of protection moves to the edge—to platforms, protocols, and people.

On the surface, it appears harmless: someone shares a wallet seed phrase on a forum or in a comment section, asking for help withdrawing funds. Curious users import the wallet and see a balance—often in stablecoins like USDT or DAI. The catch? There's no native token for gas fees. Driven by the urge to extract the funds, users send ETH or TRX to enable the transfer. Instantly, those tokens are drained by bots monitoring the wallet. The user thought they were exploiting a mistake—when in fact, they were the target all along.

The world of cryptocurrencies is very dynamic. Prices can go up or down in a matter of seconds. Thus, having reliable answers to such questions is crucial for investors. View Details » These types of scams are becoming more frequent and more sophisticated. They don't rely on code exploits, but on exploiting curiosity, greed, and a lack of security awareness among everyday users. That's why building a security-first culture across the Web3 ecosystem is non-negotiable. We cannot wait for regulators or law enforcement to react. The responsibility begins with us—the builders, founders, and platforms that power this industry. Live Events While platforms must improve on the security front, no amount of backend protection can compensate for a lack of user awareness. If crypto is about empowerment, that empowerment must come with education. We need public campaigns, product nudges, default safety mechanisms, and consistent messaging that puts user protection front and center. Security should not be something users opt into—it should be something they cannot opt out of. The ultimate question we must ask is this: when the pressure rises, which systems will hold—and which will fail? The answer won't depend on hype cycles, price rallies, or even regulation. It will depend on how well we've designed our infrastructure, protocols, and user journeys to withstand inevitable threats. In a world where financial systems are increasingly digital and decentralized, we are not just competing on innovation—we are competing on integrity. Crypto will not succeed because it is new. It will succeed because it is stronger. And that strength will come from one thing above all else: security. (Neeraj Khandelwal is co-founder of CoinDCX)
