No one knows the merits of long-term investing better than mutual fund investors who have remained invested in spite of the ups and downs in the market over the last decade or so. We all know that volatility is part of the game and that market dips can be used as an opportunity to accumulate more. We believe such market dips or corrections can be deftly used to increase allocation to equity mutual funds.
Such opportunities, where the sentiment is improving post correction, should be used optimally by adding to investments in equity mutual funds. To create wealth and beat the markets, one must use such opportunities to the fullest. In this issue we have focused on concentration of MF schemes i.e. how many schemes should be there in one’s portfolio! Our extremely pragmatic cover story will surely act as a guide for all MF investors. Our special story on the other hand will help investors understand if investing in business cycle funds is a good idea.
The story explains in detail the pros and cons of investing in such funds with a peculiar strategy. Meanwhile, the markets are expected to remain volatile. Use this volatility by investing regularly in equity funds. The earnings season is expected to be good and the corporate data is positive, thus leading to a consensus that the Indian markets will outperform the global markets. Focus on equity mutual funds to get that distinct edge!
