Recession is the best time to invest; put money now: Trideep Bhattacharya

The first six to nine months of this year (till July or August) will see more volatility, and money making would be difficult, says the CIO-Equities of Edewleiss AMC

Equities remain depressed amid inflationary concerns, along with growing recession fears. TRIDEEP BHATTACHARYA, CIO- Equities at Edelweiss Asset Management, tells Nikita Vashisht in an interview that markets are testing investor patience in the near-term. Edited excerpts:

Do you think Indian equity markets will be able to surprise and deliver some return as opposed to the expectation of negative returns in 2022?

The period between January 2022 and March 2023 should be seen as a tale of two halves. The first six to nine months of this year (till July or August) will see more volatility, and money making would be difficult.
