SIP Route Best For Risk Averse Investors





As markets continue their upward march, review portfolio periodically & give it time to grow

Over the last few weeks, the two leading stock market indices BSE sensex and NSE nifty -have been hitting new life-highs almost on a regular basis. Rising from about 22,000 in early March, the sensex hit a life high near 25,400 mark on May 16 and, after some profit taking in the days following that, is again on a northward journey. Along with the rally market volatility has also increased. This is making a lot of investors jittery and confusing them about whether to buy, or to sit quiet and expect the market to come down a bit and then buy .

For investors who are not well-experienced to ride through volatile markets, this is a tough call. In this article, we will look at two aspects: Is the market really at an all-time high from a valuation perspective?


And even if there is room for re t a i l i nve s t o r s t o buy even at current valuations, how should they go about the same?


Valuation-based approach In terms of relative valuations, for example earnings per share (EPS) and price-to earnings (P/E) ratio, the markets are not near their all-time high levels yet. In 2007-08, markets were at 21,000 and the sensex EPS was at around Rs 800. Today, it is well above Rs 1,300.

 

So from a valuation perspective, sensex in 2007 was high but today sensex is trading at a P/E of 18 which is reasonable. Also, we are in the upswing of an economic cycle and overall things can only improve from hereon. Better earnings by corporate India could lead the indices to even higher levels from here, so the markets are not at their all-time highs in reality investment plan) is the best route. They should go for an SIP in a nifty fund.


It's not about the level, but the right way to invest. Those who can take some amount of risk can invest -directly or through the mutual fund route -in infrastructure and banking sectors.

Top broking house executives say that in the infrastructure sector, both the physical (power, roads, railways, airports, ports, etc) and social infrastructure sectors (hospitals, education, etc) are turning out to be big bets now.
Among banks, the large ones have a better chance to gain more compared to the smaller ones, they add.

Whether you are the risk averse type or the risk-taker, as an investor you should also keep a close watch on your portfolio. The new government's policies will take about 9-12 months to be implemented and so one should review the portfolio only after 12 months.

Another aspect that investors often forget while investing is that there should always be a goal for investing. If, for instance, you want to invest for a goal which you want to accomplish in the near future, then it is best to go for fixed income instruments such as debt funds or FDs.


But if the goal is 10-15 years away, equities are the best bet. Align your investments to your financial goals and make the most out of it.

Be patient It is also important for investors to be patient with their investments. Time and again, it has been seen that retail investors do not make money from capital markets because we overestimate the money we can make in a year and underestimate what we can make in 10 years.

It has been proven on so many counts that equities are far better than any other instrument, but still we fail to make money out of it. What we forget is no matter how great a thing is, some things just take time. Where to invest? And how?

Surrender ULPPs

  ICICI Pru LifeTime and ICICI Pru Lifestage are Unit Linked Pension Plans. Such insurance linked retirement plans are neither good investments nor do they offer sufficient insurance cover. As you can see, these have turned out to be bad deals. In the Lifetime plan, the fund value is not even equal to the total premiums that you have paid and in the Lifestage plan your return is just about 6% which is quite low. The mortality charges are as per your age which is why they have increased. Moreover, once these plans matures, you will have to compulsorily opt for annuity (regular income) and the annuity rates are generally modest. Assuming these plans mature in the next one year, it will be wise to surrender the plan now and curb your future commitments.   Before you choose to buy a term plan, you have to consider a few points. You need to insure yourself, only during the time you are working and your family is financially dependent on you. At the age of 59, not all insurance companies w...

NPS Investment Choice for Safe Investors

Invest NPS Online       Whether they invested through SIPs or put in a lump sum amount, risk-averse individ uals have earned the highest returns. These are investors who stayed away from stocks and divided their NPS corpus between G class gilt funds and C class corporate debt funds. On average, gilt funds have given 9.75% annualised returns while corporate debt funds have churned out more than 11% in the past five years. As a result, the average return for ultra-safe investors in the past five years is in double digits. Even in the short term, ultrasafe investors have been the biggest gainers among NPS investors. Will the good times continue? The gilt funds of NPS are holding long-term bonds with an average maturity of over 19 years and a modified duration of about 9 years.These funds have done well because interest rate cuts have pushed down bond yields. But experts say this trend will not stay forever. NPS is a long-term investment and the bonds are predominantly held to matu...

Buy Health Insurance Plan even if you are covered with my Employer

Buy Health Insurance Plan Online Yes, getting a private insurance cover now, which extends beyond your retirement age, is recommended There are a few reasons why buying a health insurance plan may make sense even though you get medical insurance from your employer. Here are the points you need to think about. Firstly, your employer's insurance coverage will only protect you as long as you are employed with the company. The policy will terminate when you quit the job or when you retire. Post retirement is perhaps the phase when one needs it the most but you won't have it then. Moreover, buying a new insurance policy after the age of 50 means that there will be no coverage for pre-existing diseases.   Lastly, health insurance policy you get from your employer may or may not cover your dependants. ------------------------------ ----------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.

SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE

Invest SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE   SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP fund didn't fare well in its initial years but, in recent years, has steadily improved its performance under the capable hands of its current fund manager. Although investing predominantly in mid-cap stocks, the average market capitalisation of its portfolio is lower than other category peers.   Although the stock selection approach is mostly bottom-up , the fund manager doesn't shy away from taking bold sector bets , as is reflected in its large exposure to the healthcare sector. She is equally adept at handling performance across market cycles--the fund has captured more of the upside during market upticks and contained the downside during downturns in a better manner than its peers.   Given its superior risk-reward equation, the fund is a worthy pick in its category.     ----------------------------------------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.
