If 2020 was a good year for equity investors, 2021 has proved to be even better. Very few investors gave a thumbs up to equity at the beginning of the year (2021) because of the steep recovery seen in equity markets in 2020 itself. The argument made by several market observers was that markets have run up a lot in 2020 and hence may struggle to deliver more than double-digit returns in 2021. However, that was not the case as the recovery in the economy was much better than expected and equity markets gained owing to a combination of sharp economic recovery and extremely high liquidity in the system aided by a record low-interest rate environment.
