When interest rates are low, one must look to invest in riskier assets, according to market veterans.
Money9 interviewed some top voices this week.
Here’s what they had to say about returns, investment strategy and what lies ahead.
While Ashish Chauhan, MD & CEO, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) believes retail investors with even small investment appetite can begin by investing in exchange traded funds by which even with a small amount, one can invest in indices like Sensex. He also reiterated by saying that no mutual fund over the past few decades has been able to beat the Sensex return.
Ace investor Shankar Sharma said: “In a falling interest rate scenario when the cost of money is lower,
people can take more risk. This may be a good time to look at smallcaps even if it is via systematic investment plan (SIP) route.”
Market expert Ajay Bagga also advises retail investors to start regular SIPs to reap long term returns on investments.
“One must not look to time the markets and instead keep putting regular money in SIPs in a disciplined fashion without worrying much about what is happening in the domestic markets,” said Bagga.
Vijay L Bhambwani, Founder-Promoter, Bhambwani Securities suggests millenials to follow the 100-age rule to decipher how much they need to invest in riskier assets like equities.
