i have invested in Silv and Gold ETF. Is it good to keep as i am in 10% negative

Ans: Hello Vikas. If you are investing for long run say 7-10 years. I would recommend to reconsider both mentioned schemes to better peer schemes. You may consider multicap and mid cap categories for your portfolio.

Ans: Sectoral funds are riskier. You may have to wait for a longer tenure for it to recover in general. That's why diversified equity funds are suggested for investors. In diversified equity funds, the fund manager will decide when to enter into a particular sector and when to exit from a particular sector.

Ans: Hello & thanks for writing to me. Invesco PSU fund is a well-managed fund which has to majorly invest only in PSU enterprises. . Thematic funds can underperform or give low returns when the underlying theme does not do well.

You may consider investing in funds with a broader scope like a multicap fund or a flexicap fund which can invest across market capitalizations & across different schemes & sectors.

Ans: Hello;

If your investment horizon is long-term then you shouldn't be concerned about such short term volatility.

Also as far as possible keep exposure to sectoral and thematic funds/ETFs to the minimum.

Happy Investing;

Ans: You have chosen a disciplined approach to investing. Market fluctuations are normal, and patience is key. Since your investment horizon is five years, your strategy must be optimized.
