This Bonus season, we want you to Gamble.

Yes, that’s right; Gamble.

Take a risk, do something new, the sort of thing you do routinely for your Firm; only this time around we just want you to take a moment to do something like that for yourself. Like in your job, just playing it safe will get you absolutely nowhere in your financial life. EPF, PPF, FD, Bank Account, Insurance, these will get you peanuts because they have a guaranteed maximum return.

So, take a part of your bonus and put it at stake in an Equity Mutual Fund. Equity Mutual Funds are zero tax, offer unlimited returns and have no guarantees. They can make you rich, very-very rich; nearly ten times richer than an FD.

If you are game, then write to us and we will get you onto the stakes table in no time through a well-chosen Mutual Fund. If you are still hesitant, then let me leave you with my best wishes, along with a quote from the best financial brain of all time: Warren Buffett:

Since the basic game is so favorable, Charlie and I believe it's a terrible mistake to try to dance in and out of it based upon the turn of tarot cards, the predictions of "experts," or the ebb and flow of business activity. The risks of being out of the game are huge compared to the risks of being in it. My own history provides a dramatic example: I made my first stock purchase in the spring of 1942 when the U.S. was suffering major losses throughout the Pacific war zone. Each day's headlines told of more setbacks. Even so, there was no talk about uncertainty; every American I knew believed we would prevail.

Above all, don’t delay. Write an email to us now at SphereGreen.Investments@gmail.com. It’s your finances after all!

Why Invest in Equity Mutual Funds?


Take a rational view.


You don’t have sufficient equity exposure...

Most Indians invest as follows: EPF, PPF, Infra Bonds, Insurance Policies and Fixed Deposits. This portfolio does not provide equity exposure and therefore has no chance of beating the rise in prices. Saving in a fixed deposit today is guaranteed to make you poorer because inflation is much higher than interest rates.

The returns are larger, much larger than you think...

The Sensex has given stupendous returns and these can be well captured through Equity Mutual Funds. The median 5 year return on the Sensex is about 17% per year. This will more than double your investment. The median 10 year return is above 15%. This means that on an average, equity markets grow Rs. 10 Lakhs to Rs. 43 Lakhs in 10 years. In a good 10 year period your money will grow from Rs. 10 Lakhs to Rs. 75 Lakhs.


To top it all, good Equity funds beat the equity markets handsomely. For example the HDFC Top 200 has returned 10 times investors money in the last 10 years. Rs. 10 Lakhs invested in this fund on Jun 20, 2003 would have been Rs. 1 Crore and 2 Lakhs on 19 Jun 2013. Despite the big crash of 2008 and all the troubles in between.

What's more, these returns are tax free!

The risk is smaller, much smaller than you fear...

History tells us that it is incredibly difficult for a long term, patient and watchful investor to have losses in Equity Mutual Fund investments. The Sensex has positive returns for 90% of all 5 year periods in the last 30 years. The Sensex has positive returns for 98% of all 10 year periods in the last 30 years. And there is NO 15 year period with negative returns in the last 30 years. None at all!

What is a Mutual Fund?

A Mutual Fund is a trust that collects money from various individuals, families and companies, and pools the money together for the purpose of investing it. A Mutual Fund Scheme (For example UTI Opportunities) has a specific investment objective that it must adhere to.

All Mutual Funds Companies in India have to be approved by SEBI and all their Schemes are launched with the full knowledge of SEBI.
