- Avoid panic selling or waiting for the right time to invest in the markets. The current scenario can be seen as an opportunity for those who want to embrace the volatility of the market while allocating their assets as per their investment objectives.
- To continue investing through a systematic investment plan (SIP) Because they provide rupee cost averaging to equalize your costs over the investment period.
- To build up their emergency corpus over time, investors with relatively low risk appetite can consider investing in liquid funds, where you can park your surplus money and the instant withdrawal facility provided by some mutual fund houses can choose the option. This facility allows the investor to withdraw a fixed amount which is credited to your bank account within a few hours of redemption. Also, no exit load is applicable for withdrawing money after seven days of investment in the fund.
