“Analysis Of Investments In Shares And Mutual Fund In Indian Capital Market During Recession’’
Introduction :
Recession is substantial decline in activity across the economy, lasting a longer period which is usually more than a few months. The activity across the economy are reflected by various economic data like, industrial production, employment, gross-income and wholesale-retail trade. From a technical point of view, a recession happens when there are two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measure by a particular country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Usually recession last from 6 to 18 months.
So stock markets falling relentlessly does not means that the economy is undergoing a recession. But recession, however, is something that cannot be avoided as it is considered as a past of the business cycle. For obvious reason, it is also the most dreaded and hated part of a business cycle.
There is a general understanding that recessions are bad but what does it actually mean to be in a recession and how does this effects the average consumer.
The definition of a recession is negative economic for consecutive quarters. This means a fall in Real GDP ,lower National Income and lower National output. However, it is worth nothing. Some people talk of a recession ,even when growth is very low.
A recession is characterized by:-
* rising unemployment (often it is a delayed factor)i.e. it takes time for unemployment to rise, but, even when the economy is recovering its time for employment to fall.
*Generally a recession leads to lower profitability and lower dividends. Therefore, shares are less attractive. Share prices often fall in anticipation of a recession e.g. the recent falls in share prices are largely because the market expects a recession soon. During the actual recession, share prices often increase in anticipation of the economy recovering. Falling shares prices do not always mean a recession, falling share prices can occur for many other reasons.
There are companies that remain strong in spite of the recession. Logically, it is safe to put your money here and buy shares. During a recession stocks prices are usually low. That is the advantage. Starting from bottom prices has lesser danger because there is no other way but up. There are those who want to come in business whenever other would like to go out. This is in real contrast of buying when shares are up. It might already be the peak and once we have bought shares, they start going down still another point for investing is that we have a more careful attitude during a recession with regards to our money than during growth times where we are ready to risk.
Investing in stocks is really risky and needs a log of study before a decision to go ahead. But several investors claim that it’s worth the risk.
On the other hand, Mutual Fund performs as per their ‘‘diversification’’. It could be equity oriented funds which are again very risky and lots of fluctuations can be experienced while debts-funds ensure balanced and steady refunds even in recession.
There had been lessons learned by business during past slumps in the market. One of these is that investing in stocks during a recession may not be good because we do not know how long the recession would be and investors may end up losing their money. But if we really are brave enough to go ahead with investment despite the market downturn, they reputable companies are our best option for returns. These are the industries that have been successful during the storm and fair weather, but as far as the short run prospects are concerned Mutual Funds are at safer side.
So ,from the above study it is clear to every investor that neither shares nor the mutual funds could provide constant & assured returns, whereas it depends on the portfolio selected by the investor, which may be conservative(Debt or secured fund) or the non-conservative(Equity based or risky funds).
