Personal Research
This is my research corner. Alongside advising clients, I study how systematic, rules-based investing actually behaves once it is tested honestly. I share it here to show my working, not to sell anything.

I run a personal research project studying systematic investing on Indian stocks (NSE). "Systematic" or "rules-based" simply means the decisions follow a fixed set of written rules instead of gut feeling or news headlines: you define in advance what you would buy, when you would sell, and how much risk you would take, then test those rules against many years of past market data. This is a study and a learning exercise, not a service, a subscription, or a recommendation of any kind.
What I find most valuable is not any single result, but how much weaker real-world outcomes become once you test honestly. A backtest on a computer almost always looks better than what an investor would actually experience, for three clear reasons:
Test only the companies that still exist today and you quietly leave out the ones that failed along the way, which flatters the numbers.
Brokerage, taxes, and the small gap between the price you see and the price you get all chip away at returns. These alone can be the difference between a modest edge and no edge at all.
A strategy can look good assuming you buy at yesterday's close, but in reality you can only act at the next day's open, which is often a little worse.
None of this is discouraging once you understand it. It is the most useful lesson I can pass on to an ordinary investor. It explains, with evidence, why chasing hot tips and "sure-thing" strategies so often disappoints, and why the boring things quietly win: staying invested, keeping costs low, being patient, and following a plan through good years and bad.
That is also why I approach client money the way I do. The same discipline that makes a research strategy survive honest testing (low costs, realistic expectations, a steady process) is what tends to serve real investors well over time. I would rather show you an honest picture with its warts than a polished one that quietly ignores them.
