Markets revolve around valuations, which, ironically, are always relative. A company’s stock may trade above its historical average, discouraging some investors. However, another group of experienced and well-informed investors may perceive the same company’s valuation as attractive.

Similarly, these approaches can be applied on a broader scale to encompass entire markets, such as the Indian markets. A widely accepted viewpoint suggests that the Indian markets are currently overvalued. The significant premium in the valuation of these markets has led analysts and fund managers to recommend a multi-asset approach to navigate potential uncertainties in the coming months.
