Sensex Dips 3,800 Points, Nifty 4% Down: Experts Advise Continuing SIPs

• Indian stock market sees a significant decline, with Sensex falling 3,800 points and Nifty 4% from all-time highs in 7 weeks.
• Experts emphasize that market downturns are ideal for SIPs, allowing investors to buy more units at lower prices through rupee cost averaging.
• Attempting to time the market by waiting for a 'perfect entry' is detrimental; disciplined SIP investments protect against emotional decisions.
• Existing SIPs should not be stopped; instead, investors with capacity can consider gradually increasing their SIP contributions.
• For lump sum investments, a phased approach (investing in parts over time) is recommended to balance entry levels and reduce risk.

Why It Matters: Continue SIPs during market dips to leverage rupee cost averaging and achieve better long-term returns.
