Right now, while the returns of bank
FDs have been reduced to around five per cent, even if the investor moves
towards the share market, he can take more than 10 per cent returns. But the
problem is that investors do not know where to invest. Therefore, an easy
solution is Equity Mutual Funds. Experts say that if investors invest in it for
a long period and accept the advice of expert investment advisors, it is
possible. Risk means in every sector. However, it also depends on the situation
and other reasons. There are many instruments related to investment in the
financial sector, which have different types of risks. Investment and risk are
two sides of the same coin and always go hand in hand. But for this, things
have to be managed. If all these things are managed then you will be able to
get more than 10% return in the Corona period.
When it comes to investment, first we
should prioritize our safety, especially life and health. At the same time, an emergency fund should also be arranged for an emergency. When both these things
are completed, then one should think about investing. Before starting our
investment journey, we have to understand three things very closely, what is
the difference between saving, investment and speculation.
Savings and investment are easy to
understand. Whereas speculation is risky, as it is done without understanding
the associated risk when investing money in financial instruments. When you
read about it, you read it with an investor mindset, not a betting mindset. One
of the biggest advantages of investing in mutual funds is that it takes a
predetermined strategy, which is done by professionals. So to understand the
risk and risk of investing directly in equity, you should first invest in
mutual funds.
To qualify for an equity mutual fund,
the equity exposure of the fund scheme should be at least 65 per cent which can
be up to a maximum of 100 per cent. In addition, there is an Equity Linked
Saving Scheme (ELSS) in which equity exposure is at least 90 per cent. The
investment in this scheme is for a lock-in period of three years. The scheme
also qualifies for tax deduction under section 80C of Income Tax. The Universe
of Equity Mutual Fund provides substantial diversification in India's market
capitalization and international stocks along with sectors. Various methods of
investment are adopted for this. One can invest in Equity Mutual Funds through
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) to manage investment risk.
There are many benefits of investing
through SIP, but the biggest problem is the cost of rupees. When you invest
through SIP, you try to buy more units in the mutual fund scheme. If you invest
when the market is down, then the unit gets more. When the market is up, the
number of units decreases. This method gives an opportunity to buy average
units in the fund scheme after a period. The most important thing to note is
that SIP handles emotions in the event of ups and downs of investment to
achieve your financial goals. Equity mutual funds are suitable for long-term
investments of 7 to 10 years or more. Equity mutual funds significantly
increase the power of compounding over the long term. You can start investing
by setting a financial goal. To achieve this goal one has to decide the amount
and duration of the investment. There are many online calculators to calculate SIP
investment, according to your financial goal. Through this, you can calculate
the estimated return. You can create a mixed portfolio of equity mutual funds to
achieve your financial goal within a set number of years. Generally, a
portfolio may have 4 to 5 fund schemes. You can decide this after negotiating with
an investment advisor. An investment adviser can give the best advice based on
your experience during the conversation. Before consulting the advisor, give
them complete information about their financial condition, financial goals and
their liabilities. Only then can he get the right advice.
