There have been so many market swings in the past few months that it has been a bitter pill for investors to swallow, albeit a necessary one.

Although we cannot do anything about the price swings, let us see how to make the most of this situation.

Risk and volatility are part of the stock market. While risk and volatility are connected, they are different! Let us take an example. Consider that you are riding a bike (stock) to reach a destination (your financial goal). Your speed is bound to fluctuate due to speed breakers, lack of fuel, traffic, or the bike’s engine issue. The fluctuation in speed is the volatility, and the fear of the motorbike breaking down or falling off the bike is the risk.

So, if you decide to ride at a steady pace with a good bike, the volatility and the risk taken to reach the destination (your financial goal) diminishes with it. Check out All Weather Investing - it works in all market conditions.

Another factor that plays a vital role in investing is your emotion. If you are too scared to finish the ride and keep stopping whenever you face a hurdle, or you decide to abandon your bike based on rumors - you might end up regretting it. Stay invested for a long time with minimal intervention with Smart Beta baskets. They aim to provide market-beating returns over the long run at low risk.

Lastly, just like your bike, your portfolio also needs periodic checks to ensure it is healthy enough to help you reach your goal.

We also sometimes like to buy fast bikes, to give us the thrill of speed! We know they are risky but enjoy them nevertheless. Check out all the baskets here to find an idea that gives you the maximum excitement!
