Should mutual fund profits be booked amid fear of bearish phase?

The Indian stock market benchmarks Sensex and Nifty50 are reaching all-time highs, driven by profits from banking, financial, and Reliance Industries stocks.

Sensex, Nifty Midcap, and Nifty Small cap indices have also reached record highs.


The recovery of Indian markets since April has been attributed to factors such as a temporary halt in rate hikes, moderation of inflation, overall macroeconomic improvements, and satisfactory earnings reports.

However, experts caution that global rate hikes or intensified inflationary pressures could potentially disrupt the current market rally.

Experts advise against stopping SIPs or profit booking, emphasizing the importance of long-term investment strategies and riding out market volatility.

Rebalancing portfolios and reviewing asset allocation can be considered during a market rally to maintain a balanced approach.

Market all-time highs are frequent occurrences, and investors should focus on asset allocation and long-term goals rather than panicking.

Long-term perspective, compounding wealth, and sticking to investment plans are key for wealth creation and better returns in the market.
