So we have just left Coimbatore and are back on the road - this time to Kodaikanal.
Raju has had a good night’s sleep after his 27 hairpin bends and is now ready to make the172 kilometre journey.
As we leave the city for the highway we come across a red light.
Raju stops.
The cars behind him begin chanting their horns.
Raju goes through the red light.
I don’t like it. “Please don’t go through red lights”, I say sternly.
“But woh horn bajara tha”, says the smiling Raju
Raju is driving the Quantum Path to Profit car – we stand for process, for discipline,for following rules.
I explain that to Raju.
He probably thinks the antibiotics have eaten my brains.
But the research and portfolio team know better.
Sure we will honk as we go down 27 hairpin bends – we will warn you of the dangers of investing in stock markets.
But no breaking any of our research and investment disciplines as we build your portfolio.
Raju has along way to go if he ever wishes to be a research analyst or portfolio manager at Quantum.
To be fair, Raju probably thinks I have no hope of qualifying to drive.
But as long as it is a Quantum car – or a Quantum mutual fund – processes, discipline, the rule of law and fairness will prevail.
That is a promise from all of us.
Eh, I am still working on Raju to sign that pledge. J
