Financial educator Nitin Kaushik recently shared how a smart mix of land and stock market investments helped him nearly double his wealth in just two years.
In a post on X, Kaushik revealed that he had a total investment corpus of ₹8 crore two years ago. Out of this, he allocated ₹3 crore — nearly 40% of his portfolio — into land, while the remaining ₹5 crore was invested across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks.
According to him, the land investment turned out to be the biggest winner. The property, initially bought for ₹3 crore, is now valued at ₹7.35 crore, delivering a massive ₹4.35 crore profit within 24 months.
Kaushik explained that while many investors focus only on equities, he wanted a diversified portfolio that could survive different market conditions. This strategy, he said, proved valuable during the recent slowdown in certain sectors.
He noted that his large-cap investments saw limited growth due to the correction in the IT sector. Had he invested all his money solely in stocks, the overall returns would have looked very different.
However, the strong appreciation in land prices balanced out the weaker performance in some equity segments. He shared that his small-cap portfolio delivered returns of 42%, while mid-caps generated 28% gains during the same period.
