A Balasubramanian, in an interview with ET Now, reflected on how he underestimated the power of compounding in his early career. He admits that his initial investments were mostly in traditional products like life insurance, which didn’t yield the kind of long-term returns that equity markets could have offered. If he could go back, A Balasubramanian says he would have focused more on compounding through market-based investments, not just for himself, but also for the investors he guided.
