11 financial moves that will help you make money in 2019 Here are 11 smart money moves you can make in 2019. These strategies can improve your finances and make your richer in the new year. Why stock market volatility is beneficial for mutual fund SIP investors While investing through systematic investment plans, you make more money precisely because the markets are facing volatility. Should you use smart tools to vary your SIP with stock market movements? To help investors tackle these concerns and squeeze more out of SIPs, investment platforms and fund houses keep launching SIP variants. SIP investing and the art of avoiding behavioural traps SIP schemes are flying off the shelves. But to get significant returns, investors may have to keep at it for 10 years or more. Wild swings are not for the faint-hearted. Remember this before placing your stock-market bets in the new year. Making money is going to be a lot more difficult this year. With a general election, geopolitical tensions, and trade wars, 2019 is the perfect recipe for high volatility. This is a trick-or-treat market now. Investors will have to choose wisely. And in some cases, bravely. The market indicators are reminiscent of late 2013. How investors choose their picks will decide who gets the cream and who the cat for the next few years.
