Mutual Funds or Bit Coins?

 Before investing in Bitcoins, we need to search answers for below questions.

Who regulates Bit coins?

In India, RBI regulates and governs all financial activities. Then why are they not involving in Bitcoins?

RBI clarified that they are not going to permit in trading Bitcoins and if any one interested to do so, can do at his own risk.

If you can find answers for these questions, you can invest in Bitcoins.

On the other hand, Mutual Funds are regulated by SEBI.  All Mutual Fund Houses should follow the guidelines of AMFI under the purview of SEBI.

AMFI - Association of Mutual Funds in India.

SEBI - Securities and Exchange Board of India.

Large Cap - Mid Cap - Small Cap

Image
Below is the chart that shows how ₹1000 in each of these funds grew over a period of 20 years from 2003 to 2023. From the chart it was noticed that Small cap and Mid cap returns are more than Large cap. During corrections, large cap will correct upto 20%. Midcaps can fall from 30–40% and Small cap may lose the value from 40–60%. If we invest only in Small Caps by looking at past performance, we may get panic and try to withdraw the entire portfolio during corrections. Investment in large cap alone will not give desired returns. It is also advised to invest some portion in Debt funds also. This will help in generating emergency fund so that we can withdraw if required with out disturbing the equity part. So invest 40% in Large cap, 30% in Midcaps, 20% in small cap and 10% in debt funds for better returns.

In the past, debt mutual Funds gave a return of 8% to 10% where as Liquid mutual Funds gave a return of 5% to 6%.

Which is better - SIP or Lumpsum?

Image
 SIP is Systamatic Investment Plan. We can start SIP with as low as Rs.500 every month. For small investors who want to invest in stock market can go through SIP.  When markets fall, we will get more units and when markets raise, our investments grow faster. On the other hand, Lumpsum amount is invested only once. Even when market falls, we may not have sufficient funds to add. More over, many people can’t afford to pay Lumpsum at a time. So investing in Mutual funds via SIP mode is easy.
