Just wait for the results of financial results of the companies & for policies of Govt, & then proceed further with advice of experts. & don't become expert on your own.

If we look and anlayse a deep and complete risk assessmnet we have to gather data and watch the fluctuations of any particular share .If it is related to our field of work or career it will be more helpful, as we normally look for any new developments and can sieze any new oppurtunity with both hands. Risk must not always be looked upon as something to be avoided.it can also open us toa new oppurtunity

One of the mistake we generally make in the boom market is to purchase the stock which gives profit, people dont sneak into the fundamentals of the company are trapped in prey.

Not having a well diversified investment portfolio

idea posted by John D Nevin Manager - Finance & Administration,StreetEdge Investments

One should have a diversified portfolio of investments from principal protected investments such as bank deposits, National savings certificates, debt oriented mutual funds etc to high risk instruments such as equity oriented mutual funds, shares of companies, private equity investments etc. This kind of a well diversified investment portfolio will bring in a higher rate of return over a longer holding period.

Property will take care of retirement

idea posted by Rajyalakshmi K Accounts Manager, Standard Chartered

If investors stick to one asset class, they are exposed to higher risk and low-yield instruments. They should look at a diversified asset allocation based on their age, income, future goals and risk appetite. Real estate was considered a stable and excellent asset class till 2008, and even now it is still grappling with slowdown. The same applies for equity, gold, etc.

Safe instruments such as deposits or small savings cannot beat inflation over long-term and help you meet our dream corpus. A right mix of debt and equity is the right recipe, but we have to stay invested in equity for at least five years or more to earn optimal. Even as diversification is key, we should have a consolidated view of our portfolio. There have been instances when investors have invested in similar equity funds with five different brokers. It’s difficult to find one touch point for all investments, but we can go for chosen few to keep a tab on our investments.

Real Estate is a very good option for building a very good corpus on the long term. Of course, there would be ups and downs and one should not be shaken by this. Still this is a safe bet for building a large corpus for retirement.

Of course, a building would give you rental returns which when re-invested would add to the retirement corpus. Please make sure that you get proper UDS in investing in a building. The more the UDS the better the future return so go in for a low raise building.

Land (Multi Zone or even Agri Zoning) would be a good option if you are able to take care of it properly and see to it that it is not encroached upon. If it is in an agri zone, you can lease it out to a farmer to cultivate and take a small portion (say 10%) of the produce as rent. Of course, you have to consult a lawyer to learn about local / state rules regarding buying landed or built property in any area.
