With the stock markets touching new all-time highs and a stable government with a full majority at the center, the interest level in participating in the equity markets is looking to go up.
Although markets at their peak carry high valuations and stocks don’t come cheap, for long term investors, any time is a good time to derive the potential of equities in their favor. There could be reasons such as corporate earnings, falling consumption, etc. but these are cyclical in nature and can rebound in no time. For a long-term investor, ignoring short-term indicators and such events are suggested by most planners.
For both new and existing investors, there are quite a few things to keep a note of before investing in equity mutual funds. Let us explore them.

By investing regularly, you not only form a healthy habit but also keep away from the cardinal mistake of trying to time the market.
