Arihant’s Value Plus – August 2019 – Monthly Investment Newsletter

S&P BSE Sensex was down by 5.5% and the CNX Nifty was down by 7.3%. The month was an eventful month and the markets remained highly volatile throughout the month. The key highlight for the month was the much awaited union budget. The budget was not very positive for the Indian equity markets mainly because of the super rich tax imposed on the foreign portfolio investors. The super rich tax was followed by heavy selling by the foreign investors throughout the month.
