Re: Mutual Funds
Thank you for your response. The reality is there are lots of gullible folks who think there is a shortcut. And when they read 35 pct in one year and 10 pct in one month, they get misled. In my opinion, your posts tend to serve that purpose. Whether that is your intent is not relevant. No one here knows you. So the way to establish credibility is to be transparent. Not just about the rewards. But the risk. I have responded in ALL CAPS next to your post.
Here are your answers
*WeWe access the needs of the investors before advising them. THAT WAS NOT CLEAR EARLIER. JOW EXACTLY DO U DO THAT? We have a need assessment form that needs to be filled prior to filling the account opening forms. this helps us understand the needs of the investor, for example a dad wants to save money for the purpose of his children so we would suggest him a long term plan that is not risky and caters to his need (Childrens plan) etc.
Like said it depends on the market. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? THIS IS A VAGUE STATEMENT. No one can predict exactly what the market trend would be like, however one can make forecasts using historic data. If you invest in equity based products your returns would be based on how well Paklstan's market performs.
I suggest investing in stocks only if your investment period is 1-3 years. THAT IS ACTUALLY TOO SHORT A TIME FRAME PER EXPERTS. In economic terms this period is known as medium term. Investing in stocks vary from medium term to long. we suggest long terms however there is profit made in the medium term aswell, considering the past 7 years. After 2008 that is.
You willget capital growth if you invest in stocks or asset allocation. YOU WILL GET CAPITAL GROWTH OR LOSS. YOU SEEM TO IGNORE THE LOSS PART. CONSISTENTLY. WHAT DOES INVEST IN ASSET ALLOCATION MEAN? If you invest in stocks or asset allocation fund for the long term you will get capital growth (the chances of loss is to none as there is no sign of market crashing anytime soon due to lots of regulators). If there was loss in the long run i wouldve mentioned it. For the short term, investing in stocks is not adviced. coming to another question of yours about Asset allocation. It is a hybrid fund which gives you 30-40% equity exposure and the remaining in PIBS and T BILLS which are considered secure. So investing in asset allocation is adviced for a period greater than 1 year. You may incur a little loss due to the 30-40% exposure in stocks if the market goes down but overall the risk is moderate.
The higher the stocks go the lower it comes down. UNCLEAR SENTENCE. After 2008 crisis all the countries were advised to introduce regulators and we have SECP. A very strict regulating body, The market will not show a continous rise because of regulations or companies book profit. There are corrections every now and then,
It is because of the regulatory bodies and policies. WHAT DOES STOCKS COMING DOWN HAVE TO DO WITH REGULATORY BODIES AND POLICIES? If the stock keeps going up and people keep buying then eventually there will be a bubble burst like the housing burst in the UK in the mids 2007 leading to credit cruch. thats why we have regulators.
Without that the maker market will have no certainty. We know which stocks will go up and down REALLY? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? That information we cannot disclose as we are legally bounded.
but we are not a brokerage house therefore we donot give such information to clients because it Is called booking profit and against the ethics. That's why we are called investment advisors. We adjust your need first and theN Advice accordingly for a safe a healthy investment.SO FAR ALL I CAN DISCERN IS YOU ARE PUSHING STOCKS THAT HAVE BEEN UP. No, it is not like that.
