Traditional Investing & Portfolio Theory

What are the main asset classes available to Indian investors?

The main asset classes available to Indian investors are equity, debt, cash and equivalents, real estate, gold and commodities, and increasingly crypto assets. Each class carries a distinct risk and return profile and responds differently to market conditions. For example, debt tends to move more steadily than equity, while gold often behaves independently of both. Crypto is a newer, higher-volatility class that some investors hold as a small portfolio allocation. Qatobit offers research-led, curated QSI crypto indices for investors weighing crypto as one allocation among these classes. You can review the methodology before deciding.

Crypto investments are subject to market risk and volatility. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. This is general information, not investment advice — consider your own circumstances or consult a qualified adviser before investing.
