00:00India's economy had only just started to recover from President Donald Trump's tariffs
00:04when the war in Iran injected fresh uncertainty into markets.
00:07But here's the thing, even as global stocks rebound on hopes the conflict could cool off,
00:12Indian equities are still lagging behind.
00:15If you had 10 lakh rupees to invest today, do you stay on the fence
00:18or is there a smarter way to find safer bets as uncertainty continues?
00:22We asked four experts, here's what they had to say.
00:26With major geopolitical risks and an uncertain earnings outlook,
00:29experts suggest avoiding timing the market bottom or being aggressive.
00:33Arbitrage funds offer low-risk returns with limited downside.
00:37Allocating 40-45% to fixed income like debt mutual funds can also cushion volatility.
00:43Spreading money across asset classes helps avoid major shocks.
00:47Experts suggest putting 30-50% in equities with the rest in debt and commodities.
00:52One expert even suggested to hold on to some cash.
00:56In volatile times, it's instinctive to run to gold as a safe haven.
01:00But experts suggest keeping allocation of 10-25%.
01:03Going overboard carries risks and gold can pull back just as quickly if tensions ease.
