Mutual Funds: Investors should invest in these categories amid volatility


Amid ongoing market volatility, spotting the sweet spot in the mutual fund industry is tricky. Investment advisors suggest to make the most of the current market correction.

Market volatility is the best tool to check investors’ risk-taking ability. It’s a reality check of patience for many retail investors.


Since the market correction may continue for some more time, investing large sums at this moment may not be a prudent. Wealth advisors advise investors to invest through SIPs.


Whenever the markets face uncertain future, investors look for the cushion of security. And more often than not, investors can derive this security from large-caps funds. 


Although funds in this category also face a certain degree of volatility, they are relatively less risk prone as compared to their mid-cap and small-cap counterparts.


In view of the recent fall, investors can explore investing in the large-cap funds. And the better idea would be to invest in tranches,  says Sridharan Sundaram, Founder of Wealth Ladder Direct.


Investors who have slightly higher risk appetite can even go for large and mid caps for anywhere between 3-5 years, says Sridharan

And the investors with high risk appetite can go for mid caps for a long period i.e., 5-7 years
