My Strategy of Investing Long Term

Hi friends

I just want to share my long-term investment plans and wants to know if I have been doing right.

I have been investing every month in large cap companies (where HDFC Top 200 and other fund houses are investing) as an SIP of Rs 5-10000 per month as I feel them relatively safe bets.

For small and mid cap companies, I have invested in mutual funds as I feel i may not as actively track them and they are prone to relatively higher risks.

I plan to keep investing for at least 10 years irrespective of markets go 4000 or 140000.

Is the strategy of this long-term investment okay? If not, you may add your suggestions. I would certainly comply to protect my hard earned money.

It used to work but likely no more. Think oil and growth. At the moment cycles are topping out and we will probably decline untill November/December.

Actually it all depends on how aggressive the fund managers are in rotating stocks and protecting profits.

Do set aside some money to invest in bullion and debt instruments. As they say spread the risk.

Debt funds will make a killing when the rates start falling.

On the contrary i have seen big fund houses stay invested at large no matter how any particular scrip is performing. Like hdfc top200 is still keeping its positions open in punjlloyd and jpassociates, though they have declined a lot in past year. It seems they are buying more and more in these scrips.
