I am male, 41 years old, heavy and normal walking (not walking for exercise).
I drink on occasion, eat out once a week. We are non-vegetarian.

Ans:

Diabetes is a condition that leads to a high blood glucose level. The treatment lies in reducing this level with a low carbohydrate diet.

Planning your meals with more complex carbs like vegetables, salads, multigrain cereals, fruits, adequate protein and low fat will help reduce insulin resistance, which is the one of the main causes of diabetes.

Avoid foods high in fat and simple carbohydrate like cakes, pastries, sweets, chocolates, fried foods, savouries, aerated water, junk and fast foods, etc. These will raise your glycaemic index.

Choose low glycaemic foods and incorporate a high fibre diet to blunt a rise in the glycaemic index.

Having small frequent meals will help lower the glycaemic load as well.

Include a regular exercise regimen for development of lean mass and lowering body fat percentage.

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;
