Welcome to the biggest and most extravagant spectacle of today’s world. It’s the OLYMPICS. While most of us would be picking up our favourite sport and rooting for our nation, it continues to be one of the most watched and revered event of the modern times. It’s only because of the most important 5 p’s: participation, practice, passion, perseverance and performance.

While the above qualities hold good in every sphere of life, the Olympics does provide us pointers of success in mutual fund portfolio building too.

The selection of team is crucial and picking up a core is the most important one. The core which consist of “large cap” often are relied upon for their consistency and are ones who are sure shot medal winners. Great track records and past performances to back, they are great crowd pullers.

Not too far behind are the one who want to set their footprints on the scene. They, who by their sheer youthful exuberance outshine everyone and are revered immediately. “Small and Mid” in their performances, they are the ones looked upon to better and break precious records. Risky they might look, but are the ones to watch out for. For they are the future for a long time ahead.

Somewhere in between them are the players who bring in the perfect mix of experience and energy. Ones who are often looked upon for spreading “balance” in the team.

Timing is key! While the contingent is strong and all rearing to shoot at the accolades. They are ones who back your team as fillers by providing the flavour at the right time and at the right spot. Whatever you want to look at they belong to the “sectors“. Catching them right in the correct season will make them look good.

And supporting all of them are the ones who are the fire fighters. Small or big, any crisis and they are often fallen upon to bail our team out. They are the “liquid” one. As the name, they provide us with enough flexibility and fluidity to our portfolios as the ocean itself.

Olympics per se, is nothing but a celebration. It’s a combination of 5 crucial elements: passion, practice, participation, perseverance and performance.

Without these elements, it’s impossible to win. To help you build a winning team, restricting yourself to 5 mutual funds will be key to your investment success.

Take your pick. “OLYMPICKS” gold medal isn’t far away from you.
