Yieldora insight
Market Correction on FII Outflows—This May Be Your SIP Opportunity
When foreign investors step back and markets correct 1%, that's often when long-term wealth builders should step forward. Today's selloff, driven by FII outflows of ₹931 crore, has pulled quality IT and banking names lower even as their fundamentals remain sound. If you're building for the next 5–10 years, a market dip like this is precisely when rupee-cost averaging through SIPs works hardest—you lock in lower NAVs before the next rally.
