Hello Dr... I am 46 years old moderately built with a weight of 92 kgs, 5' 11", and a waist size of 40 inches (slightly obese). No Diabetes, BP, or any other lifestyle diseases. Slightly higher levels of LDL and good HDL. I have a history of CVT and I have been on warfarin for 12 years and my PT INR levels are between 1.8 to 2. I am a vegetarian with discipline in eating at the right intervals - 8 am, 1 pm, and 6:30 pm daily. I am moderately alcoholic once a month with a couple of beers or any hot drink with a limit of 2 drinks only during gatherings or parties. I am trying to lose weight and from last month, I started doing warmup exercises in the early morning for 45 mins along with Suryanamaskars and Pranayam (for which I had taken training during my childhood. In the evening I walk for 30-40 min 2.5-3.5 km. My problem is that after started working out since one month, I feel extremely sleepy between 1:30 to 2:30 pm (after lunch and take a nap of 15 min). And again I feel extremely sleepy between 5:30 to 6:30 which is forcing me to take a nap for 15-20 min. Both the times I get into sound sleep and snore as my wife complains. Night I go to bed at 10:30 and get up at early morning 4:45 but do not snore. Is this related to any underlying health issues that I need to get tested?

Ans: There are a few issues which can be noted:
1. Please increase your night sleep time to around 7 to 8 hours.
2. Consult a dietitian to work on reducing weight.
3. There should not be any reason that you have day time snoring but not in night time. It might be linked to day time sleeping posture. However, in general people who are obese more likely to snore. You can consult a sleep medicine specialist to get this worked out.
4. Eat fruits and vegetables in the diet. Vitamin D, B12 and E supplementation for shorter duration may help you in feeling revitalised, provided you may have deficiency.

Best,

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;
