Hello Dear Readers! The announcement declaring Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes illegal — demonetisation — has left everybody short of cash, except for the banks, who have taken advantage of inflowing funds to reduce interest rates that were anyway headed lower. Our cover story package tackles both events: demonetisation’s impact on sectors (and by extension, your stock holdings), and where you can invest for better returns. Besides, we have pieces on asset selection, investing for children and housing finance tips. On the global front, we look at how Trump came to triumph and why this may even be a good thing for the world. Have something to say? We’d love to hear from you.

National Savings Certificates Help as Interest Rates Fall
National Savings Certificates (NSCs) have been among the most popular tax-saving options for ages. In spite of the advent of market-linked investment products such as equity-linked savings schemes (ELSS), the certificates have retained their charm for certain sections of society. In this column, let us discuss the various facets of this special instrument of investment.

What Drives Us to Invest?
I had made the journey from economics to finance. As part of Keynesian economics, we were taught about the three motives to hold money: the transactions motive, the precautionary motive and the speculative motive; all through my teaching career that remained part of my Keynesian economics. But two decades, later when I immersed myself into the world of investment, I had to develop my own tools to understand the new discipline and make my investors understand the working of their own minds. One night as lay turning on my back, poring over the day’s happenings, suddenly I made a strong connection between what I had studied years back and the problem I was grappling with now: the motives.
