How the Toy manufacturers trick you

  Yesterday, I read about one of the most brazen tactics deployed by businesses to push their sales in periods when there are few takers. It is the case of Toy manufacturers in the U.S. who face a slump in sales post the Christmas sale. Usually, in the West, people buy gifts for their kids and loved ones on Christmas and post that it is just for presents on specific occasions. The companies wanted to tap into the market post the festival season too. They tried different tactics such as increased marketing, and offering discounts but it only led to losses owing to the increased costs. They needed a way to bring the customer back to the stores and needed a creative solution for it. The manufacturers tapped the psychological spectrum associated with gifting. Usually, parents gift toys to their kids on their demands. Kids see the advertisements on TV channels they watch or the places the children visit. Usually, the ad fervor is high in the pre-Christmas season. The ads are aggress...

Index funds: How they can be a better instrument over Mutual Funds

  Over the years I have got exposed to the idea of Index Funds through reading some books and following the advice of celebrity investors on social media.  An index fund is a type of mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to replicate the performance of a specific market index, such as the S&P 500 in the U.S., the FTSE 100 in London, or the Sensex 30 or Nifty 50 in India.  Unlike the actively managed funds, which rely on the expertise of fund managers to select individual stocks, index funds passively track the composition and performance of an underlying index. Now the question arises what is an Index? An Index is a benchmark for evaluating the performance of an investment portfolio. In India, we have 2 major Indices- Sensex 30 and Nifty 50. In Sensex 30, we have the top 30 companies by market cap (Share price X No. of shares) listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, and for Nifty 50 it is the top 50 companies by market cap listed on the National Stock Exc...

Thought of the Day Indian Customs is facing a challenge due to the erratic functioning of a newly introduced Electronic Cash Ledger Wallet in the ICEGATE portal. This portal facilitates the trade to make Customs Duty payments for their Imported goods and on Exported goods where ever applicable. The wallet was introduced to improvise on the existing system of reporting the Duty collection figure at the end of the day to RBI. The intent was to help the trade by giving a facility to use their wallets for ease of duty payment and for real-time duty reconciliation for the RBI. The wallet was launched after due deliberations, discussions, and User Acceptance Testing by the vendor team maintaining the portal. However, post its launch the ECL got marred by multiple issues. The payments got almost paralyzed and there became a huge pile of transactions stuck in the system due to either Bank Payment failures or issues of integration of the pay...
