Market slump hits SIP returns. Recent volatility has turned one-year systematic investment plan returns negative across equity categories, with the Nifty 50 down over 8% year-to-date amid global uncertainty and crude oil price spikes. Flexi cap funds posted negative 17.63% average one-year returns, while large cap funds fell 17.2%. The SIP stoppage ratio spiked to 100% in March as worried investors halted contributions. However, financial experts emphasize that investors should remain committed to their SIP strategy, leveraging rupee cost averaging during market downturns. Early-stage SIPs naturally show weaker returns because most capital has had limited compounding time. Three-year annualized returns remain modest but positive across categories, suggesting patience rewards long-term investors through market cycles.
