The equity schemes listed below have experienced the largest declines since their September peak. According to experts, investors should focus on long-term goals rather than letting short-term swings affect them.
The last two months have seen a decline in the Indian equity markets. The BSE Sensex dropped more than 1,100 points to 77,533.3 on November 13 before closing at 77,690.95. Since their latest peak on September 26, 2024, the frontline indexes have seen a decline of more than 10%.
While the Nifty Midcap 150 and Nifty Smallcap 250 indices have decreased 10.6 and 9.5 percent, respectively, the Nifty 50 index has fallen more than 10 percent. Tepid second-quarter (Q2) earnings, a relentless sell-off by foreign institutional investors (FIIs), rising valuations of local mid- and small-cap stocks, and escalating geopolitical concerns are some of the factors that have caused this volatility and depressed market mood.
