Editor Responds : Thank you for writing to us. Yes, investing in mutual funds during a down market can be worthwhile. It allows you to buy units at lower prices, benefiting from rupee cost averaging in SIPs. Historically, markets recover over time, and long-term investors can capitalize on potential gains when the market rebounds. However, choosing fundamentally strong funds and maintaining a disciplined investment approach is key.

Additionally, downturns present an opportunity to invest in quality funds at a discount, potentially enhancing long-term returns. Focus on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and asset allocation rather than short-term market fluctuations. Diversification across asset classes and sectors can further help manage risks while positioning the portfolio for future growth.
