The investors almost always fall prey to greed and fear. They invest when the market is at high and they exit when the market is low. They generally run behind every asset class after it has given very handsome returns and a large part of the return from that asset class is over – be it equities, bonds or gold. Only when big advertisements showing excellent return generated by an asset class in period gone by are dangled in front of them – they invest and not when they ideally should be investing. When the asset class valuation is down in the dumps due to the all prevailing negative news flow around it and due to adverse developments around that class. It is at this point of time that the asset class offers attractive valuation and attractive entry point. Yes, there can be risks from that level also but the downside will hopefully be lower than what it will be when investing in an asset class at high valuation. Also that it is important to continue to regularly balance investments across asset classes. Whenever a particular asset class weight in your portfolio goes beyond the assigned weight – the weights need to be re-balanced. This will ensure that the return generated from an asset class by investing at the right time also gets captured and it doesn’t become a story of portfolio going up with market conditions and then coming down again with market conditions.
