nifty: ETMarkets’ Investors Guide: Should high-stress macro factors affect your asset allocation strategy? | The Economic Times Podcast

After having a great time for two straight months in July and August, equity investors are having a turbulent ride this month amid fears that inflation may force the US Fed to hike rates by as much as 100 bps next week. Even as FIIs are investing in Indian equities, market participants are worried not just about the rate trajectory but also about slowdown and even a possible recession.

Against the backdrop of such worrisome macroeconomic factors, should investors rethink their asset allocation strategies? To discuss this, ETMarkets spoke to Atanuu Agarrwal, Co-founder, Upside AI. He also lays out a plan for new investors.

Welcome to the show sir:

Given the fact that interest rates are rising and there are fears of slowdown and inflation, is it time to reboot one’s asset allocation strategy and go underweight equity?

Gold has been the best-performing asset class so far in 2022. What should be the ideal allocation towards the yellow metal at this stage for someone who is a moderate risk taker?

If someone is starting afresh with Rs 10 lakh capital and willing to invest for next 5 years, what would be the ideal asset allocation strategy that you would recommend to him or her?

Thank you Mr Agarrwal for the insights.
