Understand different investment options
There are many different investment options available, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and more. Each has its own risks and potential rewards, so it’s important to understand what you’re getting into.
Most people keep their money in a Saving Bank a/c if invest then mostly choose the Fixed Deposit (FD). It is okay to start in investing journey but they should grow in money control ideas for better returns. To beat inflation or for any other future need you have to get some more ideas because you can not upgrade your mind and at a certain age, you will not work for a long time with the same result.
Consider diversification
Diversification is the practice of investing in multiple different types of assets to reduce risk. By spreading your investments across different sectors and asset classes, you can help protect yourself against market downturns.
This is a smart strategy when you have started investing and want to get more returns. If one sector falls you lose. To keep your growth, you need to divide your money into different sectors. One fall you don’t.
Start with a small amount
For all the new investors, it’s a good idea to start with a small amount of money. This will help you get a feel for the market without risking too much of your hard-earned cash.
For the first time, you will definitely get nervous or super excited. To not get fall into any trap, you should go with a small or very small amount to get a taste of gaining or losing. Your first gain will give you courage and loss will teach you a lesson on questing why you lost. The question will gradually give lessons on the market, situations, and also opportunities to understand.
There are funds that allow you to start investing with as low as 100 or 500 INR for SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) and Lumpsum (total investment/large sum of money) 100 – 5000 INR.
Consider seeking professional advice
Not comfortable making investment decisions on your own, consider seeking the advice of a financial professional. A qualified financial advisor can help you develop an investment strategy that aligns with your goals and risk tolerance.
However, there are many apps that suggest to the customers on which you should put your money according to the people’s feedback. You should look at other guides like discussion (personally not recommended), read books, and getting knowledge about the market.
These days investing applications helped a lot. I started with 500 INR on Aditya Birla Sun Life Focused Equity Fund, and 2 years later chose others.
