Chasing higher returns is a good aim to have. But you should not depend on it. Investing More is far more important than Chasing Higher Returns by taking higher risks. Doesn’t sound obvious, but it is. I write about this often-ignored aspect of investing (in my latest column in Economic Times Wealth 15Jun2026 edition), due to which, most investors aren’t able to build the wealth they can and spend their lives looking for the best high-return bets.
Also, it may sound repetitive, but having a portfolio made up of reasonably good funds + correct asset allocation will get you further than having great funds + incorrect asset allocation.
