class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">valuations are under pressure.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0indian markets have become more attuned to global developments. after a period of robust rallies fuelled by global liquidity and domestic sip inflows, investors are entering a phase where returns are expected to normalise\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. high valuations are being tested by cautious earnings growth and global uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">geopolitical uncertainty.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0tensions in west asia have weakened investor interest\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. global macro concerns and trade-related risks are dampening appetite for riskier

institutional investors have been net sellers in 2026\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. this reverses the trend of consistent buying in previous years. the withdrawal of foreign capital puts pressure on stock prices, which in turn affects <a href=\"https:\/\/kuvera.in\/mutual-funds\/all\">mutual fund<\/a> navs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">sector-specific weakness.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0sectoral and thematic funds have been hit particularly hard. net inflows into these funds fell 89% over one year\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. average returns on sectoral funds are just 6.28% over one year, compared to 18.6% over three years\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. investors are moving away from concentrated thematic bets. they are

across equity, debt, and gold. they offer built-in diversification\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. average returns over one, three, and five years have outperformed large-cap funds, with lower

mistake<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">the data is clear. stopping or pausing sips during corrections is often counterproductive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">sip is designed for volatility.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0a correction allows sip investors to accumulate more units at lower prices\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. when markets rise again, those additional units participate in the upside. rupee cost averaging works best when the market is falling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">timing the recovery is nearly impossible.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0between 1999 and 2026, a \u20b910 lakh investment held throughout would have grown to roughly \u20b92.89 crore at 13.3% annualised\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. missing the five best trading days in that 27-year period would have reduced the corpus to \u20b91.80 crore. missing the ten best days would have cut it to \u20b91.30 crore\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. many of the best recovery days occur within two weeks of the

class=\"\">\u00a0fund managers have noted that market declines allow sips to acquire more units, improving future returns\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. pausing during volatile phases often results
