The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) has seen a massive surge in interest, especially among the youth. However, jumping into the market without a plan is risky. This guide covers the basics for every new investor.
1. Getting Started: The Basics
To start investing, you need three things:
- DEMAT Account: To store your shares digitally.
- MeroShare Account: For applying for IPOs and managing your portfolio.
- Broker Account (TMS): For trading in the secondary market.
2. IPO vs. Secondary Market
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are generally considered lower risk and are perfect for beginners. The Secondary Market requires more research and an understanding of technical and fundamental analysis.
3. Risk Management
Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Diversity your portfolio across different sectors like Banking, Hydropower, and Insurance to mitigate risks.
Keep your investment capital organized. KhataIn helps you track the cash you've allocated for the market vs. your daily living expenses.
