Where in India should one invest for the highest return on equity?

Every investor wants only the best ROI. Return on Investment, or ROI, shows your profit margin relative to your initial outlay.

With so many choices in India, though, where would you really find the best ROI? Let’s clarify:

ROIs: What is it?

ROI = (Profit / Investment) × 100

Illustration:

Should you invest ₹1,00,000 and get ₹1,20,000, your profit is ₹20,000.
Your ROI thus is:
(20,000 / 1,00,000) × 100 = 20%.
More profit corresponds with a better ROI.

How Should One Select the Best ROI for Themselves?

Ask yourself:

• How much risk can I afford?
  
• How long can I keep the money invested?
  
• Do I want development or safety?
  
• Is there any way I might save taxes?
  

Best ROI does not always equate to the highest return. It represents the best return for your objectives given reasonable risk.

Advice to raise return on investment:

• Get going early and stay engaged.
  
• Don’t let money sit in a savings account useless.
  
• Once a year, balance your portfolio.
  
• Steer clear of emotionally charged choices (buying or selling during a panic attack).
  
• Gain knowledge before you make investments.
  

In conclusion:
Though everyone wants the best return on investment, your own needs will determine the correct decision. Some people would find the best return in the stock market. Others might find PPF better since it’s tax-free and safe. Always strike a compromise between reward and risk.

Your money should grow, but sensibly and quietly.
