Stay Invested Amid Market Noise

I am experiencing sharp market volatility driven by Budget and traderelated news, leading to wide portfolio fluctuations. Should I continue holding my equity investments? - Ashwin Jagtap [EasyDNNnews:PaidContentStart]

Editor Responds: Yes, it is advisable to continue holding equity investments, especially if they are aligned with your long-term financial goals. Short-term market volatility driven by Budget announcements, trade developments or global cues is a normal feature of equity markets and often creates noise. Reacting to such fluctuations can lead to poor timing decisions and missed long-term opportunities. Equities tend to reward patient investors who stay invested through market cycles.

Over time, the impact of economic growth, earnings expansion and compounding far outweighs short-term ups and downs. Instead of focusing on daily portfolio movements, investors should periodically assess whether their fund or stock selections remain fundamentally strong and suitable for their risk profile. If your investments are backed by sound fundamentals and your time horizon is long, staying invested and avoiding knee-jerk reactions to market volatility is usually the more prudent approach.
