Chinese Stock Market Fall: What to do

If you try to visualize the popular nursery rhyme ringa ringa roses, you can actually imagine each of the kids as representatives of major countries around the globe falling together. With the world markets taking a nosedive, investors tend to start worrying. While the epicenter of this fall, the Chinese markets are still trembling, the Indian markets are slowly balancing their act. Let’s take a look at how some major global markets reacted on Chinese fall...

The above are the closing figures of the respective markets on Friday, 21st August, 2015 (for USA) and Monday (for India, Japan, Hong Kong, China).

But this is no surprise. It is the very nature of the markets to surge on a positive note and plunge when things turn dark. While Equity is by far one of the most risky asset class, it has the potential to give high returns with high risk over the long term.

Yes, over the long term that’s the key word here. The volatility in the market is astonishing because it was just a few months ago, in March 2015 that the markets had breached the 30,000 mark (intra day) and has now fallen by almost 5,000 points in a span of 5 months. Investing for long term is the solution to address this volatility in the market. Therefore investors who have a relatively high risk appetite and tend to stay invested for a long term can look at a equity fund that could diversify their investments in equity markets.

Quantum Long Term Equity Fund (QLTEF) is one such equity fund that will help investors to diversify their money in equity markets by following a disciplined research and investment process.

QLTEF aims to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in shares of companies that will typically be included in the S&P BSE 200 Index and are in a position to benefit from the anticipated growth and development of the Indian economy and its markets.

The story continues...

Like every coin has two sides, markets have two types of investors; if investors in pure equity funds are risk takers we also have the risk averse kinds.

These are the people who think taking risk is risky in itself! They would always want to invest their money in funds that balance out risk. These investors could look at funds which diversifies risks across asset classes.

Quantum Multi Asset Fund (QMAF) uses diversification as its key strategy to invest across multiple asset classes, from a combined portfolio of equity, debt / money markets and gold schemes of Quantum Mutual Fund. Asset allocation and sound portfolio construction are excellent tools for addressing the volatility of investment markets.

This is the advantage of investing in a multi asset fund of which the asset allocation is based on time to time performance of the underlying asset classes. QMAF constantly monitors assets and performs constructive rebalancing of the portfolio according to the changing market conditions. Therefore when the equity markets were not performing well and gold markets were in green the QMAF strategically moved its assets from equities.

Past performance may or may not be sustained in the future. Load is not taken into consideration and Returns are for Growth Option. Returns up to 1 year period are Absolute Returns. Returns greater than 1 year period are compounded annualized (CAGR).
* Inception Date: July 11, 2012. Since inception returns are calculated on NAV of Rs. 10 invested at inception.
