Month: May 2022

In Novermber’21, Sensex was at 62,200 levels. It has corrected over 15% and currently trading at 53,000 levels.

While it is painful to see the portfolio values going down, it has not happened for the first time and is not the last time you will see such a fall in the markets. Each time market falls, it is for a different reason. This time it is because of the Russia-Ukraine war, FIIs selling, rising interest rates across the world, and the risk of inflation. Every time it seems that this time the risks are real and markets won’t recover. But it is not so. History tells us that markets recover faster than investors’ expectations.

So, what should be done now?

We suggest sitting tight and considering increasing your SIPs. They work best.
You can also consider investing lump-sum in equity-oriented funds now. It is difficult to know the bottom of the market and so, a lump-sum investment may see some drop in value in the short term but investments made during market downturns provide the best returns after a few years.

Market Fluctuate. So be patient and think long term…
