16:34 Key Takeaways:
1. Stay focused on long-term goals: Short-term market volatility is normal and doesn’t matter if your portfolio is diversified with quality assets.
2. Keep portfolios simple and clear: Diversify with 3 to 6 well-chosen funds rather than many, focusing on consistency and performance.
3. SIPs remain effective: They help average returns over time and reduce the need to time the market.
4. Manage risk wisely: Avoid concentration, understand your portfolio, maintain fixed income for stability, and invest with a long-term horizon.
5. Be cautious with thematic and government-linked stocks: Thematic funds suit specialists, and government-owned firms may prioritise national goals
