Assuming that Rs 10,00,000 is given to each student on 20th February, you have to invest the said
amount over a spread of portfolios (shares, debenture, derivatives, mutual fund, intraday trading etc)
with no locking period for a month except real estate and silver / gold. Your pattern of investment
can change only with supporting logic.
This scenario presents a hypothetical situation with inherent risks. Investing in a lump sum carries
market volatility risks, and replicating this strategy in real life is not recommended. Professional
financial guidance is crucial for making informed investment decisions.
Investment Considerations:
• Risk Tolerance and Investment Goals: Before outlining specific investments, it's essential to
understand the risk tolerance and investment goals of the students. Are they seeking short-term
gains, income generation, or long-term wealth accumulation?
• Investment Horizon: The one-month timeframe is highly restrictive for most investment
strategies. Ideally, investments should align with individual goals and risk tolerance.
• Diversification: Spreading the Rs 10 lakh across various asset classes (equity, debt, gold) is
crucial to mitigate risk. However, derivatives and intraday trading are generally not suitable for
beginners due to their high-risk nature.
Given the one-month timeframe and risk factors, a conservative approach focused on diversification
is advisable:
• Fixed Deposits (FDs): A portion of the funds could be allocated to FDs with reputable banks
or NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies) for guaranteed returns and liquidity.
• Debt Mutual Funds: Low-risk debt mutual funds can offer slightly higher returns than FDs
while maintaining relative safety. Choose short-term debt funds for higher liquidity.
• Gold (Digital or ETFs): A small allocation to gold (through digital gold or Exchange-Traded
Funds) can provide a hedge against inflation and market volatility.
For this purpose the following asset classes are selected, with the following allocation of funds.
1. Equity Shares (95% / 9.5 lakh rupees)
This would be the ideal distribution of funds but since investment can be made only if there is no
lock in period, therefore mutual funds investment will be limited to open ended debt, hybrid and
equity mutual funds.
EQUITY SHARES
Intraday not considered since time period for investment was fixed. Fixed investment with no plan
on selling the stocks before a month.
Total amount invested in equity shares = Rupees 942340 (approx 9.5 lakhs)
Profit = Rupees 31499
MUTUAL FUNDS
Open-ended debt, hybrid and equity mutual funds have no lock-in period, except for ELSS schemes
under the equity category. We can sell mutual funds without a lock-in period at any time.
Higher expense ratio means that a larger portion of returns will be deducted as fees, thereby
reducing overall returns.
