Well smart investors always prefer equity as asset class, as it gives decent returns in long run. However Recent Karvy’s Annual Private Wealth Report for 2014 says something else.

As per this report fixed deposit is most preferred investment option of Indian. Fixed deposit investment is risk free. Investment in fixed deposit gives returns in range of 8-9% but, If you are in tax bracket of 30% this return will further reduce and you will get 5.6-6% return.
