None of it came from picking a better investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-2\">Jeet Marwadi, MD &amp; Founder, 1 Finance, used the example to open the fourth Global Financial Planners Summit, India&#8217;s largest summit for financial planners, held in Mumbai on 13 October 2026. &#8220;We focus on alpha, which is least in our control,&#8221; he said. Through the day, the speakers kept coming back to the same idea. The decisions that shape a family&#8217;s finances often have little to do with returns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-3\">Watch the full conversation here:<\/p>\n<p>How do you measure a mistake that never happened?<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-4\"> The Value of Advisory panel, moderated by Jeet Marwadi, brought together Amit Kukreja, Chairperson, ARIA; Dhirendra Kumar, Founder and Chief Executive, Value Research; G. Ram Mohan Rao, Executive Director, SEBI; and Harsh Roongta, Founder, Fee Only Investment Advisers LLP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-5\">Their case was that advice should be judged on more than returns, because its biggest wins are the costly decisions that never happen. Harsh Roongta described advisors as &#8220;the people who stand between a client and their biggest mistake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-6\">Watch the full conversation here: <\/p>\n<p>What the next ten years may bring<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-7\"> The Decade Ahead, moderated by Sonal Bhutra, Assistant Editor &amp; Markets Anchor, CNBC-TV18, featured Maninder Cheema, Executive Director, SEBI; Saugata Chatterjee, President and Deputy CEO, Nippon India Mutual Fund; Dr. Soumya Kanti Ghosh, Group Chief Economic Advisor, State Bank of India; and Utpal Sheth, Founder and Mentor, TRUST Group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-8\">The panel covered corporate bonds, REITs and InvITs, the spread of SIPs across Bharat and manufacturing-led growth. Utpal Sheth brought it back to the individual. &#8220;Today, the more important question is, how relevant is that young investor&#8217;s income stream?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-9\">Watch the full conversation here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JpR_c36oMVk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"anchorLink\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>Making retirement money last<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-10\"> &#8220;Grow rich before you grow old,&#8221; said S. Ramann, Chairman, PFRDA, in The Retirement Mandate, a fireside conversation with Keval Bhanushali, CEO &amp; Co-Founder, 1 Finance. Building a corpus gets most of the attention, but that money may need to last 25 years after work stops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-11\">Watch the full conversation here: <\/p>\n<p>Money mistake, or money want?<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-12\"> As a part of exploring Money &amp; Behaviour, Professor Meir Statman of Santa Clara University, one of the founders of behavioural finance, argued that much of what looks like a money mistake is really a want. If people keep a habit after seeing its cost, it usually serves something they value, such as the excitement of trading or the security of gold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-13\">Watch the full conversation here:<\/p>\n<p>When wealth becomes a family dispute<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-14\"> The Will and Estate Planning panel, moderated by Sonal Bhutra, brought together\u00a0 Bijal Ajinkya, Partner, Khaitan &amp; Co.; Dr. Deepak Jain, Director, AAFM India &amp; Nexgen; and Sadia Khan, Partner, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas &amp; Co.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-15\">Bijal Ajinkya explained why a will has to be drafted clearly. It &#8220;is one of the most difficult documents to prove in court, for the simple reason that when you have to prove intention, the person is no longer alive.&#8221; Sadia Khan spoke about what a succession dispute really costs. &#8220;A family that was close turns into adversaries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-16\">Watch the full conversation here:\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The other side of the balance sheet<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-17\"> The Borrowing and Debt panel, moderated by Mugdha Kalra, Senior Anchor, CNBC-TV18, featured Bharat Lamba, President, DSP Finance; Devyani Parameshwar, Founder and CEO, Mera Kal; Mohan Parsuramka, COO, 1 Finance; and Sachin Seth, Regional MD, India and South Asia, CRIF India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-18\">Mohan Parsuramka described a family with \u20b95 crore in assets and \u20b94 crore in debt. The investments look large until you see the liabilities. &#8220;Borrowing is a bridge, not a lifestyle,&#8221; said Bharat Lamba.<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-19\">Watch the full conversation here: <\/p>\n<p>The complete picture<\/p>\n<p class=\"artctxt\" id=\"article-20023633-20\"> A family&#8217;s investments, debts, retirement and plans for the next generation are all connected.
