When your current investments aren't performing, you ask the advisor: "Equity Nahi - kuch aur batao Mota Paisa Bane." (Not Equity—tell me something else that makes big money!) 🧐

This constant search for a "secret asset class" known only to the wealthy or financial insiders is Myth 18, and it’s a curiosity trap that leads directly to high-risk, illiquid investments.

In this insightful episode of The Truth About Investing, we examine why this belief system is flawed and how it makes you ignore your risk profile.

🎧 Join the conversation to learn:

• The Secret Sauce Trap: Why the desire for exponential returns outside of traditional classes (Equity, Debt, Gold) drives investors toward exotic, high-cost, and often non-compliant alternatives.

• The Portfolio Neglect: How this search is often triggered by poor performance in existing assets, masking the need to fix fundamental problems in your current portfolio.

• The Solution: The best strategy is knowledge—in financial markets, personal skills, and legitimate businesses. Stop looking for secrets; look for alignment with your goals.

💡 The Diversification Check:Before you commit to a "non-Equity" asset, Sanchit Taksali insists you must answer these 4 questions:

1. Goal Alignment: Are your financial goals clearly defined?

2. Portfolio Health: Is your current portfolio optimally diversified, and why is it underperforming?

3. Value Add: How does this new asset genuinely contribute to increasing your spending capital?

4. Time & Possibility: What is the realistic timeline to generate the desired income/return?
