There is a saying in the world of investing, which is "higher the risk, higher the gain". This is very significant when we speak of investing in the stock markets or Equities. Over the long term (5 years or more) Equities tends to give better returns to the investor, which also goes with the inherent risk of investing in Equities. For example over the last 10 years the BSE Sensex has given returns in the range on 18-20% (Source Bloomberg), which is probably higher than other vehicles of investment. However, we know how unpredictable the markets can be, hence sound investment strategies like a bottom-up stock selection process can be used to minimize risk.
