WITH THE NIFTY scaling the 19,500-mark, an all-time high, many individuals may be a bit apprehensive about putting fresh money into equity-related investments. Experts suggest individuals should avoid investing lumpsum and instead stagger their investments through systematic transfer plans (STPs) through mutual funds.
As the indices across market caps are trading marginally above long-term average valuations, the probability of a substantial nearterm loss is reduced in case of STP as investors get the benefit of averaging. It enables a disciplined and planned transfer of a fixed amount between two mutual fund schemes -from a low-risk option, such as a debt fund to a higher-yielding equity fund. So, investors who are wary of short-term volatility can consider making investments in a staggered manner, which can help to mitigate the impact of any market volatility.
Susmit Misra, chief business officer, Equentis Private Wealth, says as it is impossible to time the markets, it is always a prudent practice to stagger investments over a period of 3 - 12 months depending on the investor's overall risk tolerance and market conditions."Given the current market conditions we recommend that investors stagger their investments over a six-month time frame through weekly/monthly STPs," he says.
