How to counter stock market volatility

The stock market is a funny place. At one end we have the Large Cap Sensex and NIFTY hitting lifetime highs today. On the other end Mid Caps and Small Caps are down 20% from January. With every tweet from Trump on Oil embargoes for Iran or Trade Wars with China, the stock market gyrates up and down. The Indian economic canvas ( inflation, BoP, CAD, GDP growth etc etc) and political uncertainity in an election year means that we are currently experiencing a lot of volatility in the stock markets.


Taking forward its positioning of an equity investing expert, MOFSL has come out with a new campaign to tell investors how to cope with this current stock market volatility. We bring it down to a simple mantra/process - Buy Right. Sit Tight. Where buying right is buying into quality companies and sitting tight is all about partnering with mutual funds/investment advisors who have the experience/ emotional maturity to hold onto these stocks through this volatile period 

The TVC uses the well known metaphor of a bull ride commonly seen in arcades to demonstrate volatile markets. A bull is seen as a symbol of stock markets and a bull ride one of volatility. In times such as these the it is best to invest in quality stocks and have the patience to hold on to them. Something we at Motilal Oswal have been doing for over 30 years

Here's the TVC



Initial response to the campaign ahs been encouraging. Here's what some media have to say about the ad

Different Strokes for Different Folks

Investing in the stock markets is all about mindsets. And when it comes to mindsets there exists two distinct archetypes. 

An Investor is one with a long term/fundamental view to investing in the market while a Trader has a short term/technical view to playing the markets. Their needs and mind-sets are different. Metaphorically speaking Investing is like a cricket Test Match - slow and steady. Trading is T20 cricket - dhan dhana dhan action and immediate results

Motilal Oswal Securities Ltd is perhaps the only broker to offer  separate applications targeting the needs .The MOSL mobile trading app is unique in the sense that it provides separate mobile trading applications with separate tools and information customised for an Investor or a Trader .

Our campaign tries to highlight these two mindsets

And some emailers that make the concept come alive
