Investors often compare the performance of different asset classes to decide where to park their money. Over the last year, the equity market has shown strong momentum, driven by a recovery in domestic economic activity and foreign fund inflows. This has resulted in significant gains for equity-focused investors. In contrast, precious metals like gold have acted as a safe haven, offering steady returns that are often less volatile compared to stocks. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, have delivered highly unpredictable performance, swinging between sharp gains and steep losses based on global regulatory news and market sentiment.
For those using the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) route, the results vary by asset type. Equity SIPs have generally outperformed others, delivering higher absolute returns due to the compounding effect of market growth. Gold SIPs provide a disciplined way to accumulate wealth with lower risk, while crypto SIPs are rare and typically carry much higher uncertainty. Investors should consider their risk appetite and financial goals when choosing between these options.
