THE ART OF INVESTING

http://incomedrops.blogspot.com/2011/01/mastering-technical-tools.htmlWhen we talk about investment I feel it is necessary to cover all types of available investment options. So let us go through it. Hope it will help you to find out the best option according to your need and capacity.

THE MAJOR INVESTMENT OPTIONS.
1. GOLD.
2. BANK FIXED DEPOSITS.
3. PUBLIC PROVIDENT FUND.
4. MUTUAL FUNDS
5. INDEX EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS
6. TERM INSURANCE
7. UNIT LINKED INSURANCE PLAN (ULIPS)
8. SHARE MARKET
9. REAL ESTATE.

From the above given options of investments you will be able to select some thing of your choice and need. But I sincerely suggest  you  to go through the details given here just by spending 30 minutes Before going further let me tell you the goals that you have to choose while selecting your investment plan.
There are three common goals which you can achieve by investing you hard earned money by investing it properly. They are :-
1. Get Insurance Cover.
2. To Save Tax.
3. To Create Wealth By Getting High Returns/Profits.

So let us make the first step towards becoming an expert investor.  We will be able to find out our goals and select the exact form of investment of our needs by classifying the above investment options by risk to reward basis. Let us try to analyze it with an investment  period of one year.

CLASSIFYING INVESTMENT OPTIONS TO THE RISK TO REWARD BASIS.
INVESTMENT                                                           RISK                                           REWARD            
BANK FD/PPF/                                                     ZERO RISK                          
TERM INSURANCE                                      ( NO LOSE AT ALL)                                  5 TO 10%

GOLD(PHYSICAL HOLDING)                             LOW  RISK                                         10 TO 30%
GOLD ETF                                           (CHANCE OF LOSE  5 TO 15%)

REAL ESTATE....(HOUSE                                 LOW RISK                                         10 TO 30%
LAND/OFFICE/BUILDING)                     (CHANCE OF LOSE 5 TO 15%)

DIVERSIFIED MF/ELSS MF                         ABOVE AVERAGE RISK                               10 TO 50%
EQUITY BASED MF                                (CHANCE OF LOSE-30 TO 50%)   

DEBIT BASED MF/DEBIT BASED                  MODERATE RISK                                       10 TO 30%
ULIP/INDEX MF/INDEXULIP                  (CHANCE OF LOSE-10 TO 20% )                     

SHARE MARKET FOR                                    MODERATE RISK                                     30 TO 100%
A WISE INVESTOR                                 (CHANCE OF LOSE-10 TO 20%)
 ________________________________________________________________________________

Apart  from above given table there are two more ways of investing which you can call HIGH RISKY.  They are-in my opinion- one is the investments in sectoral mutual funds and the other is  an investment done in the share market by an investor only based on the tips given by others. (These type of investments can eat up more than 50% of the money invested in it.

Hope you have an average idea of the available investment options. In next post we will discuss about how one can identify the investment option of his need and choice.
