Planning Equity Investments for 2014

With Lok Sabha elections around the corner, stakes are high on stock market this year. Markets can be expected to see fluctuations owing to the excitement and hope that the new government will announce new policies. Whatever the case may be, equities have their own ways of behaving and the one who plans to invest in it should be aware of the fundamentals, Sachin Karpe observes.

Invest through Systematic Investment Plan or SIP: This way you can divide your investment amount in monthly amounts and monitor the fund performance regularly. This way you escape the risk of putting an entire lump sum amount in a fund.

Keep an eye on market fluctuation: Always look for trend that could affect the market and lead it to climb either upward or go downward. You can monitor net Asset Value of a particular fund and decide to either keep it or sell it off.

Think long term: Equities can be fluctuating, depending on which company and which sector you have put your money in. Or how much is the fund exposed to vulnerabilities. Therefore, it is important to hold on to a fund as it could take positive cues from the market and climb up all of a sudden, leaving you at a good profit.

It is advisable to take equity investment decisions which are in sync with the global as well as domestic economy, Sachin Karpe feels.
