This Sunday morning, grab a cup of hot beverage, and join us for  chitchat on all things finance / investments / economics, with Pratik Oswal.

Pratik studied math and economics at Emory University (USA), and has an MBA from London Business School. Presently, he leads passive funds business at Motilal Oswal AMC.

You've already heard of Motilal's S&P500 Index fund, or MoNASDAQ 100 ETF / FoF. He's the person who's responsible for these products.

We've already had two rounds of text-based AMA with Pratik on Discord this week, and here are some of the highlights / nuggets of wisdom (you need to be on our Discord to be able to access these links, [join here](https://discord.gg/hqBNg4u)):

- Motilal Oswal AMC would be launching MSCI EM Index fund later thid month, or early next month. And they've plans to launch MSCI EAFE Index fund later this year. [Discussion link](https://discord.com/channels/546638391127572500/546638393895813120/841637142252748800)

- Most Index funds, at their current AUM levels, are loss-making propositions for AMCs. Predominantly due to transaction costs for transacting in underlying securities. [Discussion link](https://discord.com/channels/546638391127572500/546638393895813120/841652939869257729)

- Motilal Oswal top management has close to few thousand Cr. invested in their own schemes. In terms of _skin in the game_, Motilal Oswal ranks one of the highest among all AMCs. [Discussion link](https://discord.com/channels/546638391127572500/546638393895813120/841653441306558464).

- Pratik is also in-charge of an AMC-backed new-gen free direct MF investing platform, [Glide Invest](https://www.glideinvest.com/).

   He spends about ~50% of his time at work, leading development of this product. [Link to discussion](https://discord.com/channels/546638391127572500/546638393895813120/841639627127652404).

- Pratik invests one single equity fund, been investing in it for ~7 years now. Guess the name of the fund without [clicking / tapping on this link](https://discord.com/channels/546638391127572500/546638393895813120/842368100857937950).

Pratik's _money value of time_ is to assign higher dollar value per unit time, for tasks that he might find more interesting doing.
