General principles of investing still apply even during a pandemic. First and foremost you have to develop or relook at your investment strategy as opposed to reacting to various opportunities. Once you set your goals, it is important to carry out an evaluation of the various investment options available to you. When there is uncertainty in the equities market, investors often move to hard assets such as bonds, derivatives, real estate investment trusts and exchange-traded funds, which help investors hedge their risk. There is the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) where someone can purchase trusts that are traded in the same way as shares, hence improving liquidity.
