Indian stock markets are on a roll since a decade. The benchmark index Nifty50 has ended positive for 9 years in a row despite having faced major negative events like COVID-19 pandemic, major wars and bad economic policies.
I wonder if a negative year is on the horizon and is 2025 going to be that year? Even if it is, my plan is to look at it as a good buying opportunity for long-term. My preferred mode of investment will be Mutual Funds.
My 6 Mutual Funds
Right now I am doing monthly SIP in these 6 mutual funds:
- ICICI Prudential Bluechip Fund
- Kotak Emerging Equity Fund
- Axis Small Cap Fund
- Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund
- UTI Nifty200 Momentum 30 Index Fund
- Nippon Nifty500 Momentum 50 Index Fund
My outlook is negative for 2025. In my view, it’ll be a negative year. The post-COVID surge in stock market participation is now subdued and after SEBI’s recent policies to curb retail participation in F&O segment volumes will further dry up.
