Investing is widely recognized as one of the most effective methods for creating wealth when carried out properly, it is also capable of producing very satisfying returns over a period of time however there are a number of considerations that a prudent investor must always keep into consideration. Many people who have money invested do some soul-searching as the year draws to a close to determine how successful their investments were. 2022 was particularly challenging for both large and small investors alike as financial markets were highly volatile and rough all throughout the year due to rising inflation, a slew of interest rate hikes in US and domestic markets, and geo-political tensions between Russia and Ukraine. While it's possible in fact we are quite sure that 2023 will be better in terms of generating wealth. Here are some investment goals and tips or golden rules to keep in mind to make the most of your investment in equities

Portfolio Rebalancing or diversification

Great investors like Warren Buffet, Benjamin Graham , Peter Lynch or Late Rakesh Jhunjhunwala follows a simple and most successful principle that is Portfolio Diversification. In business world there is a common proverb that doesn’t risk everything on a single venture. This is also relevant and very useful for investment community. If you're an investor, you need to spread your hard earned money across a wide range of asset types and industries. If you are primarily a stock investor, your portfolio must be comprised of different vertical of stocks and not put all your eggs in one basket. Investing wisely and reducing exposure to risk is made easier through diversification. Since not all industries or asset classes are created equal, diversifying your holdings can help you weather the storms of market uncertainty.

Systematic approach

Financial markets are often uncertain. The SIP method is highly recommended as a viable and trusted investment strategy. An investor can set up a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) i.e. weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or quarterly to invest a set amount of money on a regular basis. This kind of approach often tackles the market uncertainty. The lowest minimum investment of Rs 500 required by SIP means that even those with limited resources can participate. Any time the SIP is paused, resumed, or terminated, the amount can be changed. An investor also gains from the lowering of their cost-average price and the compounding of their returns. Investments through the SIP can begin in 2023 through our stock baskets. It will help you feel less stressed while also improving your risk management.

Do your own research

Any investment approach requires combination of Art and Science. If you want to make money in the stock market, you need to develop your own strategy. When developing their own investment strategies and methods, investors can draw from a wide variety of resources and perspectives. Perform an analysis of the company's fundamentals, its business model, its management, or its quantitative aspects, such as its earnings ratio, cash flow, etc. Before any investment you can ask yourself 2 basic questions- what to buy and when to buy. What to buy can be answered by following fundamental approach while when to buy can be answered by –Technical analysis. The best way to generate wealth in 2023 is to take the combination of these two approaches.

If you're an investor, you don't need a strict system, but you do need to define and stick to some standards. The conditions for entering or leaving a trade, the time range, averaging, etc. can all be governed by rules. Establishing and sticking to your principles for investing in 2023 can help you become a more disciplined trader/Investor. Above all following strict and discipline approach helps you to overcome your anxiety levels as well as the suppression of greed and fear.

Take the help of an expert

Financial experts can be useful for both novice and experienced investors as well as for traders also. Growing inflation and unknown international events may keep market fluctuations high over the coming year. If you lack the skills to invest wisely or you don’t have the time to read and study, consulting with a Investment expert is a good option to consider. Investing in 2023 might be easier if you use a portfolio management plan, sip or consult with investment professional who can steer you in the right direction.

10 Golden rules for traders

1. Strategy: What's your game plan? Be very clear in your approach. Evaluate regularly about your direction and positions so that mistakes can be identified at early stage.
2. Take calculated risk: You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket because it's quite unlikely that you'll always make the appropriate trading decisions. The point is you don’t know the velocity of storm and continue trading through it, so set some money aside. When profitable, expand; otherwise, cut down as simple as that
3. Don't just trade to trade; Trade because you believe in it or fear of missing out. It may be wiser to search alternative options or do nothing at all if conditions doesn’t suits you
4. Acceptance: Think and evaluate the conditions very carefully. You won’t get many chances to generate profits and one single mistake will ruined your capital. So plan B should be always in the back of your mind.
5. Carry profits only: Instead of trying to recoup losses, focus on maximizing gains from any profitable trades. Bad trades are getting worse in absence of any action. Round off immediately as loss recovery requires considerably more effort.
6. Say no to emotions: Always keep your mind above from your heart feeling. 90% of losses arise due to your emotions. Strictly Follow the rules, focused approach and keep your emotions under control while trading.
7. Use stop loss strictly: Controlling losing trades through stop loss is as essential as safeguarding winning ones. Therefore any trade should be covered by stop loss.
8. Record your transactions: Keep track of your successes and failures so that you can learn from them and avoid making the same mistakes again.  Also don’t let the confirmation bias heavily.  Don’t be too over confident or too depressed. Always keep your feet on the ground.
9. Trend is your friend: Don't try to fight the trend or in a opposite direction; doing so is like trying to grab a falling knife. It's possible although it usually ends in injury. It's often less difficult to just go with the flow.  Also stick to your basics first.
10.  Reward is greater than risk:  Whether you are trading in equities or commodities or any other investment class always remembers the risk reward ratio.  Always look out the opportunities that have double the reward as compare to the risk.
