Equity investment involves buying shares or stock of companies listed on the stock market. When you invest in equity, you become a partial owner of the company, and your returns depend on the company’s performance. Equity investments can provide capital appreciation and dividends, but they also come with a higher level of risk compared to other types of investments.
The risks include market volatility, company performance, economic conditions, and global events that can affect stock prices. While equities offer higher growth potential, they can also experience significant fluctuations in value.
Mutual funds offer diversification, professional management, liquidity, and ease of investment. They are suitable for both beginner and seasoned investors looking for a hands-off approach to investing.
Generally, mutual funds tend to be less volatile than direct equity investments because they spread risk across a range of assets. However, the level of risk depends on the type of mutual fund (e.g., equity, debt, hybrid) and market conditions.
To invest in an IPO, you need to apply through your brokerage account or through the stock exchange during the subscription period. Once the shares are allocated, they will be listed on the stock exchange for public trading.
IPOs can offer high growth potential, but they also come with risks. The initial price may be volatile, and there may be limited financial history available for analysis. It’s important to do thorough research and consider your risk tolerance before investing.
