Experts anticipate a shift in investment strategies for 2026, with a potential revival in equity markets driven by expected economic growth and corporate earnings. While gold and silver significantly outperformed equities in 2025, analysts suggest a balanced portfolio with increased equity allocation for the new year. Debt markets may offer opportunities due to anticipated RBI rate cuts, and real estate provides diversified entry through REITs and InvITs. Investors are advised to prepare for higher volatility and maintain a longer-term perspective.
