The Yoga parallel with Weath Management
Tuesday 8 May 2007
The images of Yoga within our web site provide a parallel to our investment philosophy.
Anyone who looks at these pictures will be impressed by the serenity, strength, and levels of fitness that these individuals possess. Their minds appear clear, focused and with an inner strength that will keep them fit and healthy well into old age.
This sense of well being comes from devotion. It requires many years of education and practice. Neither is it complicated. In truth, Yoga is simple. It does require persistency and patience. There is no quick solution, shortcut or easy way.
So how does Yoga create a parallel for our wealth management process?
For most people the world of finance is complicated. It creates an image of buying and selling, with greed driving the dealers …and the more complicated the story helps to sustain an image of highly skilled protagonists generating wealth for themselves and their clients.
This image may be experienced by many investors, yet because of the increases in technology, the world of academia is able to analyse the performance of these professional managers with the result that goes against typical accepted philosophy. The buy, sell, buy, sell attitude does not create and sustain wealth over time. It suits the purposes of the investment manager not the investor. What academia shows is that remaining focused, being persistent with the belief that stock markets work over time offers investors the opportunity to have their wealth fit and healthy. The Yoga analogy is a perfect fit.
Yoga is not about pushing yourself to the limit, this simply creates stress and possible injury on your body, which ultimately impacts on your long term health. Yoga is not about unnecessary effort. It works if you are focused and practice over time.
At Murray Round, we provide the education, focus and mentoring for you to have a successful investment experience over time. Our investment philosophy follows the principles that seek to capture market returns and to avoid the active fund management approach that is shown not to add value over time.
If you are looking for a successful investment experience, we welcome your enquiry.
On a personal note, I would like to thank Brent Kessel, who runs Abacus Wealth in the US, who helped us recognise the analogy of Yoga to finance.
