Limited Downside NIFTY Strategy | The Long & The Short Ep. 14

Welcome to The Long & The Short - a show where you can expect an honest take on trading, something you won’t hear elsewhere. I’m your host, Sandeep Rao (SEBI Registered Research Analyst – INH000013059). In Episode 14, we move from penny options and tail risks to a far more practical, survivability-focused application of options: a Limited Downside Nifty Strategy designed to cap drawdowns while still participating in index upside. This episode breaks down how Structured Products / Market-Linked Debentures (MLDs) really work and more importantly, how you can replicate them yourself, without credit risk, lock-ins, or opaque structures. At the heart of this strategy lies Optionality, a core idea from Nassim Taleb’s Antifragile: Non-linear exposure where losses are capped but upside remains open. If you care more about staying in the game than chasing hero returns, this episode will resonate. 📌 Chapters 00:56 Intro - Optionality & Why This Strategy Exists 02:10 What Is a Structured Product / MLD? 02:43 How MLDs Are Built (Bond + Option) 05:18 History of MLDs in India & Regulatory Changes 08:10 DIY Structured Product – Concept & Capital Requirement 09:14 Constructing the Strategy Step-by-Step 10:27 Backtest Rules & Assumptions (2019–2025) 11:48 Results - Liquid Fund + Nifty Call 12:49 Gilt & Hybrid Fund Variations 13:48 Pros & Cons: DIY Structure vs MLD 15:22 Final Thoughts - Strategy Variations & Customization Ideas If you prefer reading, we've written a post about this episode here: https://inthemoneybyzerodha.substack....
