Banking & IT Weakness: A Buying Opportunity for Long-Term SIP Investors?
Today's 1.23% slide in banking and 1.5% fall in IT sectors have wiped out gains for many investors. However, systematic monthly investments remain a proven shield against volatility. If you're currently invested via SIP in diversified funds, today's dip actually lowers your average purchase cost. For those sitting in cash or considering entry, a step-up SIP—starting modest and increasing contributions annually—lets you benefit from rupee cost averaging while building discipline without timing the market.
