Nivesh Ka Funda: 1st half of 2022 to be volatile; Do not invest more than you can afford, Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO, Edelweiss AMC says

Amid high market volatility and rising concern amongst the new investors regarding their investment and falling portfolio, it is important to keep calm and not be scared, Radhika Gupta, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at Edelweiss AMC tells investors. 

Investors should remember that if they have invested in equities for 5 years, certain ups and downs are bound to happen during this period, she said while speaking to Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi. 
A correction of 15-20 per cent is expected in a situation like this, she added referring to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Investors must remain careful with their asset allocation and not be greedy while investing, she advised. 

Half of 2022 is likely to be volatile because of liquidity and interest rate fluctuations in the market, she opined. Therefore, new investors looking for opportunities to invest should not invest more than they can afford, she further added. 

Investors must take 4-5 months to invest their funds gradually so they will be able to maintain an average even if the market moves down any further. 

She recommends investments in the form of Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) or Systematic Transfer Plan (STPs).
Conservative investors must invest in debt-equity and fixed assets if they fear losing their money amidst the volatility by maintaining an allocation of 40 per cent and 60 per cent, respectively, the MD & CEO said.
Gupta said that dynamic asset allocation is the best strategy for maintaining a stable portfolio. It is good for the new investor who is just getting out of fixed deposits to shift towards the Stocks market.
The investors who started 2 years ago may have seen major upsides. However,  the first half of this year is likley to be volatile, she said. 

Equities are available at a much lower cost and many stocks would give a good buying opportunity to investors.
