The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago but if you have failed to do that, then the next best time is probably now. This is a useful investment maxim to remember when markets are volatile and unpredictable. I believe that although it has its origins in Africa it is probably very relevant to the India of today.
In January of this year I wrote an article on the subject of investing in India. At that time I said that the Neptune India and Jupiter India funds had risen in value during the previous ten months by 50% and that this rise would be likely to continue. It did, and by April 2015 they had risen by another 40%, up 90% in total. Then came a correction, possibly connected to the calamitous fall in the Chinese stock markets. By July 2015 both funds had fallen by 30% only to rise again by 20% and be back today within 15% of the previous high. So the big question is, will the Indian markets continue to prosper, and is now the time to jump back in? I had finally exited both funds by June this year after making my original investment in October 2014.
