Short-term view in equities, equity mutual funds could be a recipe for disaster

Investors are advised to have a longer-term view for equity investments for optimum gains, as equity can be volatile and lead to significant drawdown in the short term. Experts recommend passive modes of investment, such as SIPs and ETFs, for retail investors seeking liquidity while conducting a more cautious approach to P2P lending. For those with a balanced profile, exposure to equities can be gained via conservative hybrid funds. Constructive research, not timing the markets, is also advised. Meanwhile, a blend of growth and dividend yield assets is recommended given today’s financial market uncertainty.
