Is it the right time to invest?

The Indian economy seems to be following a recovery phase and an industrial recovery is definitely going to have a positive effect on the stock markets. Cyclicals have staged a comeback and along with the growth expected in the software sector, the index as they represent the markets or the economy seems poised for a boom. 

Investing in a Index Fund now should fetch you handsome returns if the markets picks up as expected. The negative aspect obviously is that if the market does not pick up then you do as badly as the overall market. In one sense an index funds limits the losses to just what the overall market suffers.

So who should invest into Index Funds? For the non-conservative investor but hands-off investor, this is probably the most opportune time to invest into Index funds. Also if you would like to get the type of returns the stock market offers but you do not have the time nor the skills for aptitude to follow and study the markets intensively, then index funds are a good alternative. 

But if you are willing to bear some risk, your decision would depend on whether you believe that your fund manager has the expertise to beat the market consistently.
