The recent COVID-19 outbreak is effecting the whole world not only health wise but also the global economy. The educational institutions are shut, manufacturing units are closed, economies are closing down and many countries are implementing complete lock down. In India, there is a 21 day lockdown period which will end on 15th of April, 2020. These measures are important to take save the world from this increasing crisis.

The fear is rampant in the wake of the Novel Corona Virus code named Covid-19.  The stock markets have been reflecting this fear. Since the past two weeks Indians have not been able to follow their normal course of life – this deviation was seen in the Indian and Global Equity Markets as well – the longer term structural bull run has been halted and with a ferocity seldom seen – two circuit filters in period of less than a fortnight. Headline indices have lost close to 1/3rd in value and negating any gains for at least past 3 years for investors. The story is similar across stock markets of the world. America and most of Europe are contemplating economic packages last seen in the morbid markets of 2008 crisis. India is also expected to announce something similar.

In this uncertain times, the main question that arises is shall we invest in PMS amid such confusions?

But, there is nothing to worry as at PMS AIF World we believe that this might be one of the best times to create a portfolio in equities or invest in portfolio management services or alternate investment funds. Value is often subjective but we can say with some certainty what should be available for a rupee is available for 50 paise. Investing is a process that sees crest and troughs and a very lucky few are able to catch the absolute bottom or absolute high. So we say there have been very few better times than now to build a portfolio in equities and this is the time.
