Debt-free stocks aren’t always risk-free. Here’s proof.

Debt-free companies like Mazagon Dock, Indraprastha Gas, and Sirca Paints, despite their strong balance sheets, are not without risks. While these firms benefit from lower interest burdens and financial flexibility, they can still face issues such as low margins, poor execution, and rising competition. Being debt-free doesn't equate to being risk-free, highlighting the importance for investors to look beyond balance sheets and assess any underlying challenges these companies might face.

Government proposes self-declaration with regard to proof of origin under Customs law

The Indian government plans to introduce self-certification for proof of origin for products imported from Free Trade Agreement (FTA) countries to simplify the process of seeking duty concessions. Currently, importers have to provide a 'certificate of origin' from the FTA partner country. The proposed amendment in the Customs Act aims to allow self-certification or different types of proof of origin to align with new trade agreements. This change is intended to support ease of doing business and reduce compliance complexities.

When one stock rules your portfolio—and risks it all

Overexposure to a few hot stocks in pursuit of high returns can put investment portfolios at significant risk of deep, sudden losses, especially during market corrections. Concentrated portfolios may perform well during equity rallies, making them appear successful. However, they carry an inherent concentration risk that can undermine long-term stability. Diversification is key to mitigating this risk and ensuring balanced portfolio performance across market cycles.

Mid-caps beat small-caps in the long term. Here are top performing mid-cap funds

Small-cap fund managers must carefully select stocks in order to construct a successful portfolio. Small-cap stocks have a higher chance of failure, which can negatively impact the overall portfolio. On the other hand, mid-cap companies are more established and offer a balanced growth potential with a moderate level of risk. Mid- and small-cap schemes are suitable for long-term investors based on their risk profile and goals. The MC30 list provides curated mid-cap schemes for consideration, based on 10-year rolling returns. Source: ACEMF.

Cryptocurrencies hit by huge selloff. Here’s why

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant decline in the past few days due to concerns about a possible US recession and geopolitical tensions. Bitcoin dropped 13% to $51,560, its largest one-day fall since November 2022, while Ether fell 17% to $2,277, its lowest level since mid-January.
