Stagger your investments to take advantage of the market volatility
Live MintMy portfolio is giving negative returns. I invest in systematic investment plans of the following funds: ₹5,000 each in L&T Emerging Business and Axis Bluechip ; ₹3,000 each in IDFC Focused Equity and Mirae Asset Large Cap ; ₹2,000 each in Axis Long Term Equity, HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities and ICICI Prudential Bluechip ; as well as ₹1,500 each in Aditya Birla Sun Life Tax Relief 96 and DSP Tax Saver. I have a total lump sum investment of ₹2 lakh in Axis Focused 25, Mirae Asset Healthcare, Nippon India Pharma, IDFC Government Securities and DSP World Gold fund. One thing you may want to do to take advantage of the ups and downs is to spread investments through the month—as in, invest in some of the funds in the first week, some in the second week, and so on. Regarding lump sum investments, you have tried to ride the trend of current crisis by investing in healthcare and gold funds.
