Why APS: Novice Investors

Investment is an art as well as a science. It is an art because it needs lots of customization depends upon investor's risk appetite, investment capacity, age, job security, family liability etc. It is a science because we can narrow down the range of outcome using mathematical analysis. Two crucial parameters of investment are risk and return. These two parameters essentially puts in following four scenarios:
  1. Low Risk - Low Return: Fixed deposit is benchmark
  2. Low Risk - High Return: Doesn't exist
  3. High Risk - Low Return: Worst scenario (many mutual funds are in this category)
  4. High Risk - High Return: Equity market exposure with proven strategy
If you have need of your money in near future (less than 5 years) then it is advisible to stick with Low Risk - Low Return model (Fixed Deposit & Bond etc.). However, it is good to give exposure of your part of money to High Risk- High Return if you can afford to lock your money 5 years or more. Following figure have very crucial piece of information.
