Quality investing offers the best pathway for long-term wealth creation Premium Jinesh Gopani Share Via Read Full Story Cricket and stock markets are two topics that trigger passionate conversations in most Indian households. And to be honest, there is a striking similarity between these two facets of life. Test cricket, which is the purest form of the game, is a test of one’s patience, perseverance and skill. Similarly, to be successful at equity investing, an investor needs to exhibit traits of long-term investing (patience), holding on during difficult times (perseverance) and investing in the right companies (skills). To win a Test match, a team needs to a) follow the grind for the entire five days, b) win more sessions than the opponents in order to emerge victorious. Likewise, to create wealth, an investor needs to a) stay invested across the entire period, b) have more winning years in order to compound his/her wealth at the end of their investment tenure.
