Take A ‘professional’ Approach To Investing

Hemant Rustagi Chief Executive Officer, Wiseinvest Pvt Ltd.

Mutual funds offer a wide variety of equity funds ranging from diversified to specialty funds, thus enabling investors with different risk profiles to choose the right ones and achieve their investment objectives. 

The popularity of systematic investment plan (SIP) is not only bringing discipline into investors’ savings and investment process but also spreading the equity cult through the length and breadth of the country. It is heartening to see equities gradually finding its rightful place in the investment universe of Indian investors and that too with a commitment to remain invested for the longer term. However, considering that volatility is a natural phenomenon in the stock market and that three different market segments i.e. Large-Caps, Mid-Caps and small caps have different potential with attendant risks, one must be careful while deciding the right medium and the mix to invest in it.
