Successful mutual fund investing requires patience, discipline and a long-term approach. In this discussion with Sakshi Batra, Nasser Salim, MD, Flexi Capital, highlights common mistakes that can affect investors' long-term wealth creation. These include starting investments late, stopping SIPs during market corrections, chasing last year's top-performing funds, switching schemes too frequently and ignoring asset allocation. He explains why staying invested through market volatility, allowing compounding to work and maintaining a balanced portfolio are essential for achieving financial goals. The conversation also highlights how investor behaviour can impact returns and why disciplined investing matters more than chasing short-term market performance.
