Samco Mutual Fund introduces "TimerSTP” with an endeavour to scientifically time the markets and thus generate high alpha over benchmark returns for investors
For the first time, Samco Asset Management Pvt Ltd (SAMCO AMC) introduces Timer-STP
To scientifically not get the timing WRONG for the investors in the markets by using its proprietary Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) indicator which determines the right time to invest more and the time to invest less in equities.
To be the first AMC in India to transparently disclose EMOSI daily, which endeavors to scientifically use the margin of safety principle with TimerSTP.
Samco Mutual Fund introduces “TimerSTP”: TimerSTP is a tool that determines the right time to invest more and the time to invest less in equities with the help of Samco’s proprietary Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) indicator which is based on the margin of safety investing principle. Therefore, when markets are high, EMOSI signals to invest cautiously, and when markets are low, allows to invest aggressively ensuring maximum equity exposure to the investors. This enables investment in the markets without any emotional bias, removes the stress of tracking the markets constantly and endeavors to offer a higher reward/risk ratio.
The premise of TimerSTP lies in 2 common mistakes an average investor makes. Firstly, an average investor inadvertently buys equities at the top of the cycle by following herd mentality or chasing the FOMO rally. Second, an average investor exits after equities, or a particular stock has already fallen down substantially because of the fear and peer pressure of making higher losses. But the secret to avoiding such mistakes is by not getting the timing wrong in the markets. It isn’t important to catch the exact top or the exact bottom, it is more important to avoid entering late when markets have already run up and avoid exiting even later when markets have already seen a large draw down from the peak. Managing the timing in investing is an essential part of generating a higher alpha over the benchmark whilst managing drawdowns efficiently.
SAMCO’s Overnight Fund is designed to incorporate the additional benefits of TimerSTP to make aggressive investments from the source scheme to the target scheme during panics but sits out and wait during euphoric times so as to avoid mistiming the market cycles.
For the first time in India, SAMCO AMC to disclose daily EMOSI of the benchmark index.
One of the primary reasons that an average investor underperforms benchmark index is that he/she gets sucked by emotions and faces behavioral biases. To get detached from these emotions, a scientific approach is required to indicate when to invest and when to avoid investing in equities. EMOSI is designed to act inversely proportional to the broad-based market indices because whenever markets are attractive EMOSI goes up and when markets are expensive EMOSI comes down. This enables an average investor to invest in equities to generate a potential alpha without making dramatic drawdowns.
SAMCO Mutual Fund will transparently disclose the EMOSI indicator of the benchmark index daily on its website.
EMOSI is represented by a range of values between 1-200 where 1 denotes the lowest margin of safety and 200 denotes the highest. EMOSI allows TimerSTP to transfer variable amounts ranging from 0.01X to 6X of base instalment via Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) approach from the source scheme to the target scheme depending upon the market levels and margin of safety. It is built by collaborating a number of principles and concepts from both technical and fundamental analysis such as price to equity, Market cap to GDP, interest rate spreads, bond yields, moving averages, market breadth indicators, standard deviation, put call ratios and volumes. A mix of all the necessary moving parts in the investing universe have given rise to Samco’s very own EMOSI indicator.
Dhawal Ghanshyam Dhanani, Fund Manager, Samco Mutual Fund said “SAMCO Mutual Fund’s endeavor is to empower retail investors and provide solutions that allow them to make smarter decisions in their investment journey. With TimerSTP we are enabling an average investor to avoid entering the markets at the wrong time and sail through the market cycles efficiently. We build strategies by incorporating core investing principles and leveraging technology so that all investors, big or small, can benefit by making higher risk adjusted returns in the long term.”
Saumitra Bhalekar, Zonal Head – Maharashtra Samco Mutual Fundsaid “We are excited to expand our business in Nagpur and launch the Overnight Fund with our proprietary TimerSTP. Based on our back tested results, our EMOSI acted as a perfect lumpsum indicator because as EMOSI goes up, the average 3/5 year returns also go up and vice versa.”

A special Futala Music Fountain show is organized for Chief Minister and his cabinet today
Nagpur: The world class musical fountain at Futala has been named after India’s Nightingale Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar. Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) Trustees decided this at a meeting held under the chairmanship of Chairman Manoj Kumar Suryavanshi on Tuesday.
The NIT meeting was attended among others by West Nagpur MLA Vikas Thakre, Municipal Commissioner Radhakrishnan B, District Collector Dr Vipin Itankar, Sandeep Itkelwar, and Joint Director, Urban Planning Department Surpriya Thul.
The Union Minister Nitin Gadkari during a trial run of the show had proposed to name the Futala musical fountain after Lata Mangeshkar. The Minister had said he had discussed the proposal to name the city’s newest attraction after Lata Mangeshkar with Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and he also agreed. The fountains would display Lata Mangeshkar’s image while playing her memorable songs during the show. Earlier, the trial shows of the musical fountains were held in the past few days.
Notice to Project Contractor:
A notice has been issued to Studio One Khalatkar Construction Consortium – who is the contractor appointed by NIT for the Futala Lake Project – for organising the trial show of the fountain on September 15 without the permission of NIT. The contractor also sent invites without mentioning names of Chief Minister, Union Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and MLAs. The NIT Trustees expressed their displeasure and issued a notice and asked for a clarification in the next meeting. Further action will be taken after receiving the response.
New cricketing rules from October 1 | Our Nagpur | Nagpur News
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has brought changes to several rules of the game. The changed rules will come into effect from October 1. The rules have been changed after the Chief Executives Committee (CEC) ratified the recommendations of the Sourav Ganguly-led Men’s Cricket Committee.
According to new rules, the new batter will bat, even when the batsmen change ends and is caught out. As per old rules, the incoming batter was allowed to take the non-striker end if the batters crossed over before the catch was taken.
The ICC has imposed a permanent ban on the use of saliva to polish the ball. This ban was temporarily imposed in international cricket for more than two years due to Covid. A batter coming to bat will now have to be ready to take a strike within two minutes in Tests and ODIs, while the current limit of ninety seconds has been retained in T20 International cricket.
Under the new rule the batter will be allowed to play a shot on the ball outside the pitch. But the batter’s bat or part of his body remains inside the pitch. If he overtakes it, the umpire will call it a dead ball. Any ball on which the batter is forced to leave the pitch and play a shot will be declared a no-ball.
If a player, who is fielding makes a wrong movement, then the ball delivered will be declared a dead ball, and the batter’s shot is cancelled. If this movement is done intentionally by the player, then five runs will be given as a penalty to the batter.
In T20 Internationals in if the fielding team fails to bowl its overs within the stipulated time, an additional fielder is assigned to the fielding circle for the remaining over. This rule will now be adopted in ODIs after the completion of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League in 2023. It was also decided that the conditions of play for all men’s and women’s ODI and T20 matches would be amended so that hybrid pitches could be used if agreed by both teams. Currently, hybrid pitches can only be used in Women’s T20 Internationals.

MOUNTAIN DEW® INSTILLS FEARLESSNESS AND COURAGE TO OVERCOME EVERYDAY FEARS
Sep 19, 2022: As a brand, Mountain Dew® has always celebrated the spirit of those who push themselves in the face of fear to achieve extraordinary results. Back again to bolster its efforts to inspire the youth of India, the beverage brand has launched an all-new campaign today that encourages consumers to move beyond their fears and stand victorious in the race of life.
The new TVC dives into the everyday struggles of people across the spectrum – emphasizing that every human reacts differently to situations and fear is subjective with no definite scale, measure, or boundary. The film is a reiteration of Mountain Dew®’s belief that in the face of any challenge there are 2 choices – either succumb to fear & turn back or overcome the fear & move ahead with courage, it is the choice that we make that set’s the real heroes apart from the rest.
The film opens to a montage and collection of scenarios showcasing different people hesitating to take the next step of their challenges. From a boy facing the microphone in front of an audience to a boxer in the ring to a biker at the edge of the cliff to a girl standing at the edge of the diving board, a boy frozen in his steps to paraglide and a girl sending a text to break up with her partner. In comes Mountain Dew® – with one sip of the drink, metaphorically, these moments of hesitation and fear are dissolved as the characters take the plunge with faith and courage to face their fears head on.
Vineet Sharma, Category Director, Mountain Dew, PepsiCo India said, “With our ‘Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai’ philosophy, Mountain Dew has always celebrated the spirit of those who push themselves forward in the face of fear to achieve extraordinary results. The brand acknowledges that fear is universal, and every individual is beset with the feeling of fear. Fear can arise from a myriad of situations that are unique to each one of us and in this film, we have tried to focus on everyday fears which many of us can relate to. It is our belief that real heroes are those that face the challenge head-on and eventually emerge as winners. We are confident consumers across the country will relate with this touching new film and as always, the philosophy of ‘Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai’ will resonate strongly with them.”
Rahul Jauhari, Managing Partner, Flibbr Consulting said, “Speaking of everyday fears yet keeping the ethos, energy and adrenaline rush of the brand was a fine line one had to tread and glad we could deliver on the brief. We are confident that this TVC will help in connecting to a wider audience at a deeper level.”
The new Mountain Dew® campaign and TVC will be amplified across TV, digital, outdoor, and social media with a 360-degree campaign. Mountain Dew® is available in single/multi serve packs across modern and traditional retail outlets as well as on leading e-commerce platforms.
This World Heart Day, embrace a healthy heart with Almonds
19th September 2022: Every year, 29th September is commemorated as World Heart Day to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease (CVD) and negate its impact across the world. CVD, a powerful killeris the leading cause of deaths globally. The burden of the disease is rapidly increasing, and experts foresee that India will record thehighest number ofcardiac deaths by 2030. With the commitment to tackle the foreseeable health crisis, the theme of World Heart Day this year is ‘Use Heart for Every Heart’. The theme reflects the urgency and opportunity to stop and rethink how beating cardiovascular disease is something that matters to every beating heart.
The pandemic has given us time to look back and contemplate on our choices and lifestyle. As it is famously believed ‘you are what you eat’, thus instilling the integral role food plays to be healthy and fit.A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that a daily snack of 42 grams of almonds, consumed as part of an overall healthy diet, reduced risks related to heart diseases. In addition, snacking on almonds also reduces belly fat and waist circumference, all well-established heart disease risk factors. Thus, one must embrace a mindful and a healthy diet, which includeshandful of nuts like almonds as they are a source of a variety of nutrients and make for a heart healthy snack.
This World Heart Day, embrace a healthy heart with Almonds
Speaking about the importance of leading a heart-healthy lifestyle, leading Bollywood actress, Soha Ali Khan, said, “I have always been a firm believer that making minute yet healthy changes to one’s lifestyle today contributes to a better tomorrow. Prioritising health over everything is a lesson we have learnt over the last two years, and my family and I swear by it. With CVD on the rise, adapting a healthier and more active way of life is intrinsic. Include hearthealthy foods, especially handful of nuts like almonds in your daily diet as they are a source of nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, protein, riboflavin, zinc, etc.”
Reiterating the need to include heart healthy foods in the diet, Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head-Dietetics, Max Healthcare – Delhi said,“Knowing what one should consume is extremely important.Some foods might be more harmful than we think. There are certain foods that are attributed to increased health risks.Identifying and replacing them with healthier alternatives might be tough but is intrinsic to lead a healthy life. One can fine-tune one’s diet and include heart healthy foods includingnuts like almonds, green leafy vegetables, whole grains and berries. Regular consumption of almonds may reduce harmful LDL cholesterol levels and help maintain protective HDL cholesterol. Almonds are heart healthy and must be consumed daily.”
Nutritionist, Neha Ranglani mentioned, “While the pandemic induced lockdowns did urge us to reflect on our lifestyle choices, the home isolation wasn’t easy on any of us. Binge watching was accompanied with binge eating, and a more sedentary lifetsyle. This has made it imperative to take stock of our lifestyleand make necessary changes to manage our heart’s health. Heart healthy foods are low in saturated fat, added sugars, and sodium. Foods like Almonds may lower total and LDL cholesterol when included in a healthy diet and reduce levels of heart damaging inflammation. So, don’t stop binge watching but snackon almonds instead of consuming unwholesome snacks. It can make a healthy difference to our lives.”
Adding on the role fitness plays in maintaining heart health, Fitness and Celebrity instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala said, “Regular exercise and an active lifestyle is a way to a healthy heart. Exercise is the best way to release endorphins and dopamine, thereby reducing stress and anxiety. Consult a professional to understand the format of workout of exercise that works for your body and be sure to take out at least 30 minutes. Staycommitted to an active lifestyle and include healthy and energy boosting snacks like almonds which have great nutritional properties and also promote feeling of satiation”
Nutrition and Wellness Consultant, Sheela Krishnaswamy mentioned, “There’s a rise in CVD cases amongst youngsters. CVD risk factors such as abdominal obesity, hypertension and diabetes are higher amongst Indians, even at younger ages, than among other ethnic groups (8) There is a strong need to address this and adapt to a healthier way of living. While staying active and working out is required, changing dietary habits is needed to stay healthy intrinsic. It is important to know what you are eating and their impact on the body. Replace foods that are high in cholesterol, sodium, fat andsugar, with heart healthy options. Including almonds as part of a healthy diet may help in lowering risk factors for CVD among Indians by keeping in control dyslipidaemia, a condition marked by high LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels and low HDL Cholesterol levels.”

All the big cats in the age group of 4-5 years were radio-collared under Namibia Cheetah Conservation Fund and Project Mission.
The high frequency satellite radio collars will help Namibia forest officers know locations of the cheetahs from a distance of over 8,000 km. These big fastest sprinters on earth are released into the small quarantine enclosure for one month. They would be released in the wilderness having a good prey base of 139 leopards, 100 sloth bears and many herbivores.
Cheetahs became extinct in the country in 1952 and the major reasons for extinction included: habitual huntings, hunting of black bucks a major prey species for cheetah, loss of habitat etc. Now, re-introduction of eight cheetahs in Kuno National Park is the movement of pride for the citizens.
Maha FDA cancels Johnson & Johnson baby powder license
Maharashtra FDA has canceled the license of Johnson & Johnson baby powder and has stopped the manufacturing and selling of the product in the state after it found that the powder for infants has pH value above the mandated limit.
The FDA had collected two samples of the Johnson & Johnson baby powder — one from Pune and the other from Nashik — and the results of the test stated it did not comply with the IS5339:2004 (second revision amendment 3) specification for skin powder for infants in the test pH.
The FDA has told the company to recall the products of the faulty batch from the market
In August, Johnson & Johnson had said it would stop selling talc-based baby powder globally in 2023 and move to a cornstarch-based baby powder portfolio. The decision came over two years after it ended sales in the US and Canada due to safety lawsuits and falling demand.
“As part of a worldwide portfolio assessment, we have made the commercial decision to transition to an all cornstarch-based baby powder portfolio,” J&J had said in a press release.
“We continuously evaluate and optimize our portfolio to best position the business for long-term growth. This transition will help simplify our product offerings, deliver sustainable innovation, and meet the needs of our consumers, customers and evolving global trends,” the statement added.
It had said that its cornstarch-based baby powder is already sold in many nations.

Brahmastra box office week one collection: The Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer has crossed the ₹300-crore mark worldwide and ₹200-crore mark in India in terms of gross collections.
Brahmastra Part One-Shiva has been dipping at the box office over its first week but has still managed to cross the important ₹300-crore mark at the global box office at the end of its first week. The film has earned ₹200 crore gross ( ₹173 crore net) in India in all languages in the same time period. Trade analysts have, however, said that the daily dip is a little too high for a film of this size, which may hurt its prospects later on.
The film’s producer Karan Johar took to Twitter on Friday morning to share Brahmastra’s week one worldwide box office gross. In a video he posted, the producer claimed the film has crossed the ₹300-crore mark globally. “Love and light ruling the global box office at #1! Entering the second week with a heart full of gratitude and excitement,” Karan wrote alongside the video. In the absence of big Hollywood releases in the past week due to the 9/11 anniversary, Brahmastra dominated global box office as well, emerging as the highest-grossing film worldwide with a gross of around $38 million (just over ₹300 crore).
The film has done decent business in India as well. As per trade trackers Sacnilk and BoxOfficeIndia.com, Brahmastra earned ₹9 crore nett in India across all languages on Thursday, taking its total week one nett to ₹173 crore. Its gross collection in the same time period is a little over ₹200 crore. However, the film has been showing a 15-20% drop per day over the last few days, which is slightly worrying for a film this size.
Just because it is all set to earn ₹300 crore in India doesn’t mean Brahmastra can already be called a hit though. Given its reported budget of ₹410 crore, the film needs to sustain well in its second week to have a chance of being called a hit. The one thing working in the film’s favour is that it does not face competition from any big Indian releases till Vikram Vedha and Ponniyin Selvan: I arrive in theatres on September 30.
Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is the first of a trilogy and the starting point of a new cinematic universe. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Mouni Roy, along with extended cameos from Nagarjuna, Amitabh Bachchan, and Shah Rukh Khan.
Mountaineer Santosh Yadav to be first woman chief guest at RSS event on Dussehra
Nagpur: For the first time in its history, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has invited a woman as the chief guest for its foundation day celebrations at its Nagpur Headquarters on Vijayadashami on October 5.
Making an official announcement on Thursday, it said mountaineer Santosh Yadav, a Padma Shri awardee who has climbed Mount Everest twice, will be the chief guest at the ‘Vijayadashami Utsav’. In line with past years, RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat will deliver a speech on the day outlining the organisation’s vision for the year.
The Vijayadashami Utsav of RSS will be held at 7.40 am at Reshimbagh ground here. The ace mountaineer will be the first woman chief guest at the RSS programme. Dr Mohan Bhagwat, Sarsanghchalak of RSS, will grace the occasion and address the gathering.
Vijayadashami Utsav is important as Sarsanghchalak comments on a variety of issues and his speech provides a glimpse of future course of action by the organisation. In the past few years, Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi and Pranab Mukherjee, former President of India, were among the chief guests at RSS’ events. This time, RSS has invited Santosh Yadav.
Born in a village in Rewari district of Haryana, Santosh Yadav became the first woman in the world to scale Mount Everest twice — first in 1992 and next in 1993. For this feat, her name was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1994. She served as an officer in Indo-Tibetan Border Police, and was honoured with ‘Padma Shri’ in 2000. In 2006, Government of Haryana named a very busy road in Gurgaon after her name to honour her achievement.
