Retail investors with good risk appetite can start nibbling, says Vaibhav Sanghavi of Avendus Capital

In such volatile times for the market should retail investors start buying at dips is the big question. Vaibhav Sanghavi, Co-CEO of Avendus Capital Alternate Strategies Private Limited said is of the view that it is very tricky time and probably the volatility is purely because of the event that is the spread of virus.

"Now we have to understand that till the time the news flow keeps coming, the volatility in the market will continue. Having said that independently if we try and assess the valuation piece in terms of the businesses, then they are available at attractive valuation. So if somebody has a risk appetite and is able to see through the volatile times then probably it is probably good to start nibbling,” he said.

Talking about investing strategies, he said, “In terms of different products, we have different strategies but from risk point of view what we typically do is basically when there is huge amount of uncertainties, we generally be in cash till things stabilises. Once things stabilise then there would be times when we can probably deploy money more and take that opportunity. Till then, for the time being, we will probably sit by the side and wait.”
