Quote on Russia - Ukraine war And Recommendation for Investors  By  Mr.Rahul Bhutoria - Director, Valtrust Capital

“Days like today (Russia - Ukraine war) remind us that consistency of thoughts & advice is so important and hence this is a time to appreciate asset allocation in portfolios. We always recommend keeping at least 20% cash in the portfolio and to have diversification across asset classes that are less correlated with each other. A substantial impact on markets & portfolios has already taken place and this is not at all a time to sell in panic.

If there is deployment as per equity allocation, investors could have deployed 15%-20% on drawdowns like today.

However, if risk appetite permits they could dip into the cash reserves and invest in equity as a part of tactical asset allocation. Investors should look at investments keeping in mind standard deviation, drawdown, and recovery i.e., investment products that have a better & higher possibility of recouping the losses”.
