Equity as an asset class by nature are volatile and this volatility do give an opportunity to generate additional returns compared to any other asset class. However, this volatility adds the element of risk as well.
To avert or reduce risk, Harshad Chetanwala, Co-Founder MyWealthGrowth.Com suggested, investors to construct the overall and equity portfolio based on risk-taking ability as well as timelining the goals.
He explains, equity as an asset class by nature are volatile and this volatility adds the element of risk as well as an opportunity to generate additional returns compared to any other asset class.
With respect to short term needs, the analyst asks investors to consider debt-based investments where the chances of it going in red that making losses is quite low.
And, even for mid-term goals a blend of debt and some investment in equity could work, the analyst said, adding further that one should only invest in equity, if investment horizon is over 5 years.
“If we look at Sensex on a monthly rolling basis since 2000, there has not been any 7 years cycle where the returns are in red. Hence, equity is meant for long term only,” Chetanwala said.
“Another way to reduce the impact on your portfolio is to take advantage of falling stock prices or NAVs of Mutual funds and keep investing gradually on days when the market consolidates. Such a strategy will be very beneficial over long term when the stock market revives,” the analyst added.
Similarly, another analyst Sandeep Jain – TradeSwift-Director states that correct timing will help any investor to avert or reduce the risk while trading in the equity market. He lists out three elements to identify, which could eventually aid to manage risk: Goal, Objective, and Role.
Jain added, these three things need to be clear and need to identify one either they are for long run or short. Generally, participant of stock market considers themselves an investor, but if you’re not ready to stay for a long term, then he/she is not an investor but rather a trader, the analyst noted.
And, traders have their own stop losses and targets, risk management philosophies, TradeSwift Director mentioned further adding that long investors more likely invest only unwanted money, and wait for bumper returns unlike traders.
If one cannot wait for long-term, the analyst urges those investors to stop playing in the market with red (dark) colour, rather head for gulaal (lighter colour) such as mutual funds. With respect to short-term investors, the analyst suggests that they should not only be prepared but also be ready to avert or reduce the risk, way prior investment.
