The market seems to be going through another correction. While many might say that this was expected, many of us are still unsure about what exactly one is supposed to do in such a scenario.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our portfolios might seem to be in a lurch and compel us to get into action mode. So, we compiled a few things that have worked for a few others like you in the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep Calm and Read On.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestions for times when the market is down:<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Tune out the noise<\/strong>: It\u2019s always good to keep up with the news. But when the market crashes, there will be a lot of\u00a0 advice and predictions floating around, and some of it unqualified.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You will also find plenty of valuable tips and expert advice. Read them but form a strategy that works for you, based on your portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Be disciplined<\/strong>: Being impulsive will only hurt your portfolio.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      – Spend a little more time on\u00a0 research before making trading decisions. An little bit of extra reading might help you land on the right action required for your portfolio\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      – Don\u2019t make decisions about your long-term investments based on short-term market movements. In fact, doing nothing could sometimes\u00a0 be the right move!<\/span><\/p>\n

      – Place stop-loss orders: Having an exit strategy when the market is down will definitely help you minimize potential losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      – Continue your SIPs: Since mutual fund investment investments are usually for the long term, there\u2019s no need to discontinue your SIPs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Diversification<\/strong>: There\u2019s a reason why \u201cDon\u2019t put all your eggs in one basket\u201d is a very common investment advice.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Diversify your portfolio, if you haven’t already. This will minimise your losses when the market is down. Asset allocation will go a long way in protecting your portfolio from risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Asset allocation is a strategy that aims to balance risk and reward by apportioning a portfolio’s assets according to an individual’s goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Look for wealth-creation opportunities<\/strong>: Buying when the market is down is a well-known investment strategy. If you want to take a risk, then make sure you\u2019ve done your research.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you\u2019re thinking of buying a stock, do check its technicals and fundamentals carefully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n

          These practices may not turn your portfolio from red to green overnight, but could shield your investments from the current volatility in the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
