December 2019: These Mutual Fund Schemes saw Maximum Investments on Paytm Money3 min read
The equity and debt markets started the month of December on a volatile note as RBI left the repo rate unchanged and sharply cut the growth forecast for the year, but witnessed a good run up as the month ended. Easing US-China trade tensions, victory of the ruling Conservative party in UK elections and indication by the US Fed that there will be no rate hikes in 2020 led to Nifty and Sensex touching their all-time highs in December. Debt markets, which were troubled by fiscal slippage concerns at the month start also rallied with the announcement of ‘Operation Twist’ by RBI i.e. the simultaneous buying of 10 year bonds and selling of short term bonds to bring down the long term borrowing costs of the government.
Equity funds continue to witness huge investments on our platform. Investments were primarily in Large cap, Large and Midcap, ELSS and Small cap categories. Investors should continue to look at these funds from a long term perspective of 5 years or more and not base their decisions on short term volatility that is inherent in equity funds. This volatility can be used by the investor to his/her advantage by taking the SIP route and benefiting from rupee cost averaging.
