1️⃣ Invest Across Different Fund Categories

Don’t put all your money in just one type of mutual fund.

• 🟦 Large-cap funds → Stable & lower risk
• 🟨 Mid-cap funds → Moderate risk & good growth
• 🟥 Small-cap funds → High risk & high return
• 🟩 Hybrid funds → Mix of equity + debt for balance
• 🟧 Sectoral funds → High risk, only small allocation

This spreads risk across market segments.

2️⃣ Use SIP Instead of Lump Sum

• 🧩 SIP spreads investment over time
• ⏳ Helps average out the market ups and downs
• 📉 Reduces the risk of entering the market at the wrong time

3️⃣ Avoid Over-Concentration in One Sector

Don’t invest heavily in only:

• 🏦 Banking
• 🏗️ Infrastructure
• 💊 Pharma
• 💻 Tech

Sector concentration increases risk if that sector crashes.

4️⃣ Add Debt Funds for Stability

Mix some debt mutual funds to protect your capital:

• 🟫 Short-duration debt funds
• 🟪 Corporate bond funds
• 🟩 Liquid funds

Debt lowers volatility during market falls.

5️⃣ Choose Funds from Different AMCs

• Don’t invest everything in one mutual fund company
• Different fund houses have different strategies
• 🏦 Helps reduce fund manager–specific or AMC-specific risk

6️⃣ Invest with a Long-Term Horizon

• 📆 3–5+ years helps reduce short-term volatility
• 📉 Markets fluctuate, but long term smooths out risks

7️⃣ Rebalance Your Portfolio Regularly

• 🔁 Review every 6–12 months
• Move profits from overheated segments into safer segments
• Keeps your risk under control

8️⃣ Don’t Chase Only High Returns

• 🚫 High return = high risk
• 🧠 Look for stability, consistency, and long-term performance
