Investing in stock market usually calls for investors to have a long-term mindset. A stock market investor does not shy away from risks, but the risks are calculated unlike those of traders and speculators. Investors are more focused on extracting smooth returns from their investment portfolio in the long term.

In addition, investors are not concerned about temporary fluctuations in the stock market. It is because they know that a stock market works in phases, and it behaves in certain ways at certain times.

In short, an investor is someone who commits capital with the expectation of receiving financial returns. They evaluate opportunities from different angles, and generally prefer to minimise risks while maximising returns.

To have an ‘investor mindset’, you must know where investors invest and how those asset classes work. Investors generally invest in growth and defensive assets.

These will help you implement your action plan. In addition, you can always learn from your mistakes and make your plan more efficient.
