But the returns were just 4% (in absolute terms) much lower than inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The return outcomes turned out to be poor, even when the equity allocation was relatively lower (50-70% Equity). For instance, investment with only 50% in equities (and remaining in debt) made two years prior would have lost 4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"943\" height=\"505\" src=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-4.png 943w, https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-4-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-4-768x411.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color:#0955e0\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Why does this happen?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Using history as a rough guide, major declines (falls &gt; 30%) and subsequent recoveries together have usually taken almost 1-4 years to play out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"872\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6.png 872w, https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-6-768x487.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Given this, your equity investments might not always recover in time to cover your short term goals.
