In the previous post we had to chance to familiarise ourselves with the most common retailer mistakes while Investing. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post let us understand the perspectives of investing right from standing in the shoes of a High net worth Individual (HNI).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInvesting Mindset\u201d, here is the mental and psychological constitution of the investor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One needs to understand that, investing is as much a mental game as it is a game of skill and knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with the best of investing skills and in-depth knowledge, you are unlikely to succeed as an investor unless you have the right investing mindset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right investment mindset, essentially, is a combination of the following characteristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the long run, it is the right investing mindset that will make the difference between a retailer investor and a successful HNI investor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Staying sane and unaffected<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HNI investors are least bothered about market volatile and they are \u2018okay\u2019 with its cyclic behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retail investor under such conditions experience tremendous pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, this is when most rerail investors tend to commit serious investing mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A HNI investor remail calm and composed because he\/she has planned their investment. And most importantly it\u2019s a long-term plan, so current market fluctuations matter the least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know stock markets are driven by fear and greed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, retail investors tend to get greedy at the top of the market and fearful at the bottom of the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successful investing is all about doing the exact opposite.
 
2. Chasing the proper methodology, instead of chasing returns.<\/strong>
 
If you are one such individual focused more obsessed on the results rather than the process, then you have a mindset problem with respect to investing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, investing is a lot more of getting the methodology right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you pick stocks, parameter considerations, leveraging the moat and determining the margin of safety, how do you add value by fine tuning your entry and exit levels; all these are part of your investment process or methodology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A HNI investor main focus lies on perfecting this methodology and hence you see most of the renowned names are successful once.
 
3. Learning from the Greatest Teacher<\/strong>
 
The stock market is the best teacher known for its critical yet valuable investing lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One has to be an eagle eye observer and a self-driven learner to let markets foster you with learnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markets have their own way to respond, one who learns to react to the market responses in a corrective way eventually becomes a successful Investor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to document the learnings from the market on a daily basis and it can become your Bible for trading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crux of the issue is that your mindset should be that of a self-learner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market is not a classroom where you will be taught the nuances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a huge body of knowledge from which you can liberally draw upon.
 
4. Be humble and learn to forgive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


If you do not practice humility in your actions, then investing is not for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best of investors gets their investments wrong. The trick is to be humble enough to admit that you were wrong and take appropriate corrective action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If arrogance leads you to either average the position or outsmarts the market, then you will have a real mindset problem when you are investing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accept that the market has a lot to teach you and accept your mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the key to the right investing mindset.
 
5. Action Vs planning<\/strong>
 
One can create the best of plans on the drawing board but being able to execute is more important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are millions of things about the stock markets that you can learn only once you start trading with real money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simulation can give you an edge, it will take you all together to another level! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopting a mindset that is purely action-oriented rather than indulging too much in paper planning and designing is what counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After careful observation, it has been noticed that when it comes to investing the true mindset (Retailer Vs HNI mindset) <\/a>difference actually forms a subset of another major mentality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, we call it the \u2018I can do it myself\u2019 mentality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being self-dependent is the most appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This outlook might seem to be encouraging but on the hindside, the actual scenario is otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical retailer might abstain from getting professional help in investing because he feels investing could be self-thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investing sure is self-thought, but we don\u2019t realise we lose precious time in understanding something complex and for something for professional aid is already available a phone call or a click away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most HNI investor\u2019s journey at some point began as a retail investor but the striking difference what made them successful is they changed their outlook towards investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they got stuck while backing up their finance or investing without hesitation, they sought professional aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are times when in the process of learning there are series of losses made, surprisingly a retail investor is \u2018okay\u2019 making a loss of 10% but would rather take a back seat in seeking professional help where the nominal service charges are just 2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HNI investors, surely expert when it comes to investing but they learnt this in a smart way without burning their portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we are appealing for you to become a \u2018Smart\u2019 investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that eventually you become an HNI Investor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
