In 1987, the Sensex stood at just 442. Today, in 2025, it’s crossed 75,000.
That’s not growth. That’s a revolution—a 170x surge.
Gold, with all its glitter, rose from ₹2,570 to ₹92,000.
Impressive, yes—but that’s just 35x.
PPF and FDs? Reliable, predictable. But as interest rates dropped from 12% to 7.1%, they’ve struggled even to keep pace with inflation.
And yet, through every shock and storm, the Sensex kept doing what it does best: compounding.
It wasn’t always smooth sailing:
2008: The Sensex crashed over 50%. Gold held steady.
2020: The pandemic sparked panic. Gold glittered—but equities came roaring back.
2011–2015: Equities went flat. Debt played the stabilizer.
That’s the real story: not one asset, but a combination.
Equities build long-term wealth.
Gold shields during uncertainty.
Debt offers peace of mind and balance.
Asset allocation isn’t about avoiding risk.
It’s about surviving the storm—so you’re still there to enjoy the sunshine.
And that sunshine?
It’s in equities.
Always was.
Always will be
