Why Multi-Asset Investing Works for Every Market Condition

Multi-asset funds balance growth stability and risk management ensuring smart investing even in volatile market conditions

Financial market investment is thrilling but fraught with risks. Some investments, such as stocks, bring substantial returns but carry the risk of volatility. Others, such as bonds, bring stability but could fail to give risk-adjusted returns. Commodities such as gold and silver provide a cushion during troubled times but don't always give positive returns.

Equities or stocks have a long history of increasing wealth and historically giving better returns than other major investment options. For instance, in 2023, the BSE Sensex provided returns of 18.7%, demonstrating the power of equities. However, they can, nevertheless, be volatile. In 2008, the Sensex dipped by -52.4%, reminding investors that stock markets do experience volatile years.
