Introduction

You've likely come across the idea of diversifying your investments, which means not putting all your money into just one thing, like a single stock or asset. It's a bit like not putting all your eggs in one basket. By spreading your money across different types of assets, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and precious metals like gold and silver, you can reduce the risk of losing everything if one investment doesn't do well.

Diversifying into asset classes like real estate can be expensive. However, there's a solution: consider investing in real estate stocks. This way, you can avoid the complex and costly documentation required when purchasing physical properties. All you need is a Demat Account to get started.
