Merry Christmas and season greetings to you!
Hope this Christmas brings warmth and love to your cold and chilly Sunday evening. We hear you’ve been a good investor this year (even just being here counts), so the smallcase Santa has a special gift for you – read till the end to claim your gift!
As we enter the last week of 2022, the countdown to the new year seems to have already begun! We can’t help but be excited to turn the page on 2022 and start fresh in 2023 (bring out those new year resolutions for the zillionth time).
So, are we feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the new year?
At smallcase, we’ve been busy, as usual, behind the scenes, cooking up some exciting new products and services that we can’t wait to share with you. More on that as we walk into the last week of 2022.
Financial independence is closer than it appears.
But until then, let’s turn the dial and look at what this year #wrapped up to be! Which were the most loved smallcases this past year? Which ones kept trending amongst our investors? Presenting to you the smallcase Investors Choice Awards – where we identify and spotlight the trendsetters of 2022.
Before we jump in, let’s quickly take a look at the overall financial health of India in 2022 and how the economy performed.
Several events have affected the global economy this year, including inflation, high interest rates, overvalued corporations, and geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine or China-Taiwan conflict. Despite these challenges, the NIFTY50 and Sensex indices in India reached all-time highs in December, and experts predict that investors who are prepared to adapt and persevere may be able to build a robust financial portfolio in the near future.
While the roller coaster of Indian markets continues to take investors ahead, we’re excited to see what’s in store for this last leg of FY 2022-23. For now, let’s get back to celebrating the year that 2022 was for smallcasers and see which were the smallcases investors showered the most love on! Don’t forget to brag on Twitter about how many of these trendsetters you’re already invested in.
