Sensex falls over 10%, is it finally time to stop your SIPs?

With equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty plunging more than 10% from their peaks in September last year, it’s natural for mutual fund investors — especially those investing through the SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) route — to question whether they should continue their investments.

Market volatility often creates anxiety among SIP investors, even when they are well aware of benefits like rupee-cost averaging.
