New clients are not coming because of conviction in equity. Fixed deposit returns have fallen and they want an alternative that will give regular income.
As advisors, we need to set right expectations. Do what is right than what is popular. We have to be able to tell NO and investors actually do appreciate that we are not a money collector.
