However, as an investor, you must be wondering whether you should stay invested or book some gains to preserve your profits from equity investments. We ask experts what investment strategies they are advising their clients to help them protect their gains from equity markets. If you have added tactical or opportunistic equity exposure in March or April 2020 at lower levels, you can book some profits. Keep the variance band between 10% and 20% of your long-term equity allocation. In these cases, you can book gains and move them to debt, so that the goal is not compromised, though the investor’s gains till date stand protected.
