Start Here

Newest-first is the order I wrote things in, not the order they make sense in. This is that second order — every published piece, once, with each format it exists in on the same line.

Start with why

What compounding actually does over a working life, and what it costs to notice late.

The building blocks

A series covering one piece of a portfolio at a time. If you read nothing else, read these in order.

Borrowing, and what it really costs

Debt is not the enemy. Paying for it twice is.

Investing beyond India

The largest subject here, and the one with the most moving parts. Start with the book; the posts below are the parts that changed after I wrote it.

Getting the money out, cheaply

Remittance is where the avoidable costs hide. This is the same journey, run several ways, with the numbers each time.

Running the portfolio

Buying is the easy part. This is the rule set that keeps a portfolio on course without watching it daily, and the tools that apply it.

Then file the tax

The part nobody covers, because it is tedious and changes every year.

Watch it happen

What I actually hold, published monthly — allocation, drift, what I bought and why. The framework above, applied to real money.
