Jayant Manglik advised investors to avoid timing the markets and instead to invest through a Systematic Investment Plan. He also said that since the March 2015 target for the BSE Sensex is 32,000, there is a lot of potential for gains left. He explained that the Sensex is currently trading at 18.3 times its trailing earnings, which is a 13 per cent premium to its historical 20-year average trailing PE of 16.3 (x). On similar occasions earlier, the markets peaked at 24 times forward earnings. So there is still a lot of headroom for PE expansion. As always, a lot will depend on policy delivery and its effective implementation because expectations are high and must be met for sustained market growth
Jayant Manglik also suggested that investors should have a mix of large-cap blue chips, mid-caps and small caps in the portfolio. “A good stock can be invested in at any time as long as the investment horizon is long-term” he said.
“Bluechips should be part of every investor’s portfolio and the best way to invest is a monthly systematic investment program” he added.
