Inflows in equity-oriented schemes have broadly

tracked the past 1-year returns historically

Attempt to time the market in the short term

has led to below par results most of the time

For example, equity category inflows peaked in

2017 on the back of good past performance.
However, markets witnessed volatility in the short
term thereafter in 2018

• Debt and Cash as an asset class display significantly lower volatility as compared to equities as an asset class
• The correlation of Debt and Cash asset classes with equities also has been relatively low to negative correlation across mosttime periods

Combining asset classes with different risk-return profile in a single portfolio, can help in generating optimal risk-adjusted returns
