How would you foresee the market for the next 2 to 3 years? How would you able to gain confidence from the investor to keep pumping in money to your platform?

Answers from the panel!

Dhruv (Syfe): For the market in the next 2 to 3 years, I think it's a coin toss. Even when new people come onto our platform, we normally tell them to look at the long term perspective. If you increase your duration of investment to about 10 or 20 years, any rolling period you will always and always make money. If you have the capacity to stay invested in the market and you can ride it across a period of time, you will always make money. Only thing that we would suggest is to manage risk, because of what happened in the last few months. Even the most prudent, savvy and educated investors panic when they see a crash in the market and start selling out. We managed to get the risks down by selling equities and buying bonds so nobody sold, they stayed invested and focused. So stay invested, 2 to 3 years is a short duration but over the long run you would always earn.

Tai Zhi (Autowealth): No doubt our way of life will change 2 to 3 years down the road with COVID-19 and future pandemics that may happen. But we, living on this Earth, will continue to work and demand for goods and services. This consumption makes money for businesses to continue to make profits and revenue, and stock prices will continue to move because of the profits. While the way of life will change, the whole investment market and its logic does not change. Investors should continue to invest their money.
