Rachit Chawla, founder & CEO, Finway FSC, said that bluechip stocks are a good source of investment. These stocks are the best of the best. Speaking about the strategy investors should look for in the current volatility. He said there is evidently massive volatility in the global market, which can be considered as the primary reason for the bluechip stocks falling.

“The pace of earning upgrades has slowed down in the present market and some sectors might also witness the downgrade earning cycle. Also, the interest rates are rising and clearly, there is pressure in good stocks,” he said.

In such a volatile market, investors should make comprehensive research to identify the best-performing companies, he said. “Bluechip stocks have always tended to offer more stable and predictable returns. Companies with a track record of steadily growing trajectory and dividends that can withstand the occasional recession can be considered reliable for the long run. Further, with the rising interest rates and geopolitical tension, it is more sensible to invest in the bluechip stocks.”
