Gold for instance has behaved more like a bank FD, while those invested in silver wish they weren��. On CNBC-TV18's special show 'The Informed Investors' Hemant Rustagi, CEO, Wiseinvest Advisors advises on the best tax saving ideas.
Below is an edited transcript of Hemant Rustagi's interview on CNBC-TV18.
Q: What about the entire investment and other asset classes? For instance, we have been talking about gold and silver, how does a person decide to diversify his asset? If you just look at the past performance in the one year, has it been fantastic? What�� a good strategy for people to decide how to invest in other asset classes and how much they should be allocating?
A: Let me discuss how much role a past performance should play in the portfolio. The key factor for investor to realise is, to look at past performer for a long-term, maybe 5-10 years, especially if you are talking about an asset class like equity. Now relying on short-term performance can actually backfire and the reason for that is because it neither indicates a true potential of an asset class nor does it tells you about the risk that is associated with an asset class.
