Miliardář Petr Kellner se vyhýbal médiím i zájmu veřejnosti. Jeho osoba zůstala obestřena tajemstvím, které rozptyluje nová série Českého rozhlasu s názvem Kellner. Jak se on sám a jeho impérium jevili investigativním novinářům? „První privatizační fond (PPF) patřil v kuponové privatizaci mezi nejúspěšnější fondy, ale tak nějak se o něm nepsalo. Stál v pozadí, což ho, myslím, charakterizuje – a bokem všech dohadů o podvodech a korupci,“ popisuje Jaroslav Spurný.

This week, Monika steps back from the noise of partisan debates to ask: how is India really doing? It's a difficult question to answer amid competing political narratives, but the data tells a story of steady progress. India is still the world's fastest-growing major economy, with GDP set to grow at 6.5% this year. Per capita income has risen at 7.6% annually over two decades, and poverty has fallen sharply—from 27% in 2011 to just over 5% in 2022. That's nearly 270 million people lifted out of poverty. This has also helped reduce inequality, with India's Gini coefficient improving steadily. At the core is India's growth-plus-redistribution model, where welfare spending and rising incomes have worked together. Better nutrition and improved consumption among the poorest households are signs of a broader shift.While macro indicators are strong—low inflation, a cleaned-up banking system, and fiscal discipline—there are still structural hurdles. Judicial delays, corruption, regulatory overreach, and burdensome compliance rules raise costs and hold back investment. More than 26,000 legal provisions carry jail terms for minor infractions. These frictions act as invisible brakes on growth. But the overall direction is positive. India has come a long way from the deprivation of the 1990s. The poverty-to-prosperity journey is ongoing, and the report card today shows a solid B+.In listener questions, Ahalya asks whether Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana or mutual funds are better for her daughter's long-term future. Riya from Navi Mumbai wonders if she should exit her old LIC policies and shift to mutual funds. Tarun asks if EPF and PPF count as debt in his asset allocation and how to redeploy maturing PPF amounts.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) India's Report Card: Growth, Poverty, and Inequality(00:00 – 00:00) The Persistent Roadblocks to India's Progress(00:00 – 00:00) Investment Options for a Girl Child's Future (00:00 – 00:00) Should I Exit My LIC Policies and Shift to Mutual Funds?(00:00 – 00:00) Is My SIP Telling the Right Story for My Financial Goals?

Setting proper expectations with clients is crucial in order to maintain a positive relationship and avoid misunderstandings regarding service quality. Implementing a structured Terms of Service agreement significantly mitigates customer conflicts and clarifies the scope of work and limitations before service begins. It is imperative to protect team members from verbal abuse, ensuring a respectful workplace environment, as this directly influences overall morale and productivity. Continuous improvement in customer interaction practices is necessary, particularly in managing difficult clients and setting realistic expectations for service outcomes. Firing a problematic customer can be financially beneficial in the long term by preserving team morale and maintaining service standards, despite the immediate loss of revenue.

Why and how did Louis choose to defend himself? Was he condemned because he was a king or because he was no longer a king? Was the decision to send him to the guillotine really only decided by one vote out of more than seven hundred? And who won in the court of history?

For today's episode in the history of bad ideas David talks to philosopher Shannon Vallor about the myth that technology can be value free. It's easy to see why Silicon Valley is so keen on the idea that it's never the fault of the tech, only of the people who use it. But why do we let them get away with it? Where did this idea come from? How has it also poisoned arguments about gun laws and nuclear weapons? And what can we do to fight it and try to get technology that works with – not against – basic human values?

Why do monopolies arise even in supposedly competitive economies? How did the anti-monopoly movement of Henry George in the late-19th century argue that the monopolists could be taken down? How are those struggles echoed in the fight against Silicon Valley monopolists today? And what has all this got to do with Monopoly the board game?

How did an old idea from Christian theology get used to explain the hold that political leaders have over crowds? Why is it so important not to confuse charm with charisma?

World War 3? Should you get out of the market?

This week, Monika talks about the rising global war anxiety and how it's triggering panic among investors. As conflicts erupt across the globe, the instinct to pull money out of the markets is growing—but is that the right move? With fears of nuclear escalation, many are tempted to book profits and flee to cash. But Monika explains why the better approach is to stay calm, focus on asset allocation, and avoid impulsive financial decisions driven by headlines. India, despite external threats, remains on a strong economic footing—with 6.5% GDP growth, healthy macro indicators, and strategic restraint. While we cannot control global turmoil, we can build resilient portfolios that are better prepared for long-term uncertainty.She then explains what a "risk asset" really is—investments like stocks or real estate whose prices fluctuate and that carry a risk of capital loss. These stand in contrast to low-risk assets like PPF or fixed deposits, which offer capital protection but lower returns. Monika lays out why investors choose risk assets in the first place: for higher returns over the long term. But she also emphasizes that this risk must be balanced with an appropriate time horizon and the right mix of stable, low-risk assets for peace of mind.In listener questions, Samparth asks whether his ₹50 lakh upfront investment for his child's education is enough and seeks advice on raising financially aware children. Amit wonders why the total expense ratio matters when mutual fund returns are already reported post-cost. Dr. Jayesh Waghulde asks whether he should move from mutual funds to high dividend-yield stocks or stick to a mutual fund strategy after receiving a lump sum.Chapters:(00:31 – 07:33) War clouds, worried investors: What to do when conflict scares you out of the market(07:34 – 08:23) What is a risk asset and why do we choose them anyway?(08:24 – 13:15) Children's education and values: Planning, protecting, and parenting with money(13:16 – 16:13) Do expense ratios matter when returns are already declared?(16:14 – 18:14) Trading vs mutual funds: A reminder to avoid fake profiles and risky shortcutshttps://www.amfiindia.com/investor-corner/knowledge-center/Expense-Ratio.htmlIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠@MonikaHalan⁠Production House: ⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠Production Assistant:⁠ Anshika Gogoi
