Something very interesting is happening in the investing space.
It might be a little premature to discuss it since the rules are yet to be finalised.
But I consider it nothing less than revolutionary and would like to give you a heads-up anyway.
Allow me a digression first.
You see, there are two kinds of businesses.
First, where greater size helps in brings the economies of scale i.e. higher returns. The larger you are, the better you get.
This could come from lower fixed cost, ability to influence prices, network effects, and so on.
But then, there are some businesses where bigger does not mean better. As size expands, the incremental returns diminish.

India's Secret Plan to Beat China Takes Shape
China is playing dirty since the past few months.
Under the garb of military exercises, they shored up their troops at the border region in Ladakh.
What do they want? A war with India?
If that's the case, then India needs to be more ready than ever before.
India has already started deploying high-tech weapons at our borders.
It is estimated that the Indian government could spend over Rs 4 lakh crore on such defence equipment over next 5-7 years...
Pumping hundreds or even thousands of crores into a few Indian defence companies in the coming years...
As a result, select Indian defence companies could benefit in a huge way... and their stock prices could shoot up like never before...
Especially this one stock, which we call India's #1 defence stock.
It's a potential 10x opportunity in the long term.
We'll reveal all the details about this huge opportunity at our Explosive Profits Summit.

The business of investing is a case in point.
Here is the verdict from none other than the genius Warren Buffett, who started small before he amassed a giant portfolio.
So where does this structural advantage come from?
I think the answer lies in investible universe, that is defined by given the amount of money one has.
Big fund managers are often limited by liquidity and market cap. They can't go below a certain cut off. It would be impossible for them to invest a big sum in a stock with low liquidity and low market cap i.e. smallcaps.
Investing small sums does not move the needle for them.
Their limitation is your biggest edge.

You can leave them to their low return game, and focus on a space where the cream lies - smallcaps.
But it is easier said than done. The reason is information asymmetry.
Unlike largecaps where you can find a lot of information on business channels, print media, and company websites, getting information on smallcaps can be tricky.
It often requires having personal meetings/concalls with the managements. Being a part of the professional analyst community helps, as it allows you access to these managements.
No wonder then that the small investors often end up coat-tailing fund managers/analysts and experts on the media when it comes to taking investment decisions in this space.
In the process, they could be unwittingly subjected to the pump and dump phenomenon, ending up with the short end of the stick.
That's indeed no way to use one's biggest competitive/structural advantage.
Well, the good news is, this might change.

------------------------------
You see, the market regulator is mulling taking steps to curb the information asymmetry in investing, due to analyst meets and conference calls conducted by companies.
The regulator has proposed that companies should make audio/video recordings of any such interactions available on their website, within 24 hours of the event.
Further, if they share any unpublished price sensitive information in these meetings, it should be made public with immediate effect.
This will make common investors privy to what transpires in such meetings.
This could be a big game changer, quite empowering for small and common investors, given the structural advantage in the smallcap space, that comes from being 'non institutional'.
While the norms are yet to be finalised, I hope you won't wait to enter the space.
You see, smallcaps are on a massive rebound.
The BSE smallcap index has gained 90% from the lows in March.
I believe there is still steam left. The index is still 20% away from the lifetime highs in January 2018.
You should consider participating in this rebound in smallcaps. Click here to know more.
