Where To Invest Now?

The current stock market levels are synonymous with the old adage— many investors burn their fingers by investing when the markets are at an all time high. The S&P BSE Sensex has gained about 18 per cent in the first half of the year and is expected to go up a lot higher. However, the noise around the index levels being at an all time high is purely based on absolute figures. Let us understand this with an example—just the way ₹10,000 today will not have the same purchasing power ten years hence (it did not have the same purchasing power ten years ago), the constant mention to indices hitting all-time highs is an incorrect expression of gauging the real worth of the markets.

Passive Is Catching Up

Those who felt that passive investing is for sissies need to sit up and look around. In the past one year, the asset base of equity ETFs has shot up from ₹15,066 crore as on March 31, 2016 to ₹43,234 crore as of March 31, 2017, according to the AMFI data. An exchange traded fund (ETF) is similar to an index fund, which invests in a basket of securities, which are part of a pre-decided index, in the same proportion as that of the index. For instance, the Reliance ETF Sensex will invest in exactly the same proportion as the constituents of the S&P BSE Sensex.
