Is this a good time to Invest?
Timing the market is something that is impossible to do, even the best fund managers are not able to do. When newflow is positive, equity markets are likely to be at highs and as long as economic momentum sustains markets can continue to do well. When newsflow is negative, this is likely to be the only time when you can buy in at a discount, since discounts will not be available when there are no concerns on the horizon.
\nIf you are looking for long term wealth creation then near term volatility does not matter. We have a blog which demonstrates how risk reduces with time for equity investments - https://imecapital.in/blogs/why-risk-in-equity-depends-on-your-investment-horizon/
\nIf you are looking you long term wealth creation, it is important that you do not try to time the markets in the short-term, and focus instead on the longer-term wealth creation that takes place in equity by staying invested. You always have the option of staggering your investments, if you are concerned about volatility in the near-term.
