The mutual fund folios increased from 23,45,08,071 in March 2025 to 23,62,95,024 in April 2025. All these numbers point out the changing mindset of the people. However, to leverage this financial product to the maximum, you need to follow certain SIP strategies that can further multiply your wealth.

Smart Sip Strategies to Consider:

1. Stay Calm and Think About Long-Term Growth

The recent ruckus between India and Pakistan has shaken the investor's faith. However, the mutual fund experts suggest you not to make hasty decisions. They have even advised us to continue with the present portfolio to navigate the market fluctuations. Here’s an excerpt that strengthens our point;

“Mutual fund investors should continue to invest through SIP. They should never be paused during geopolitical uncertainty as it is good for rupee cost averaging. Lump Sums should be avoided. There will be opportunities for it in future, if the situation escalates further.,”

2. Stay Invested

The year 2025 has been full of geopolitical tensions and uncertainties; however, amidst this chaos, investors have become fearful, anxious, and fear-driven. To combat this uncertainty and fluctuations, experts advise you to stay disciplined with your SIP. Do not stop making contributions because SIP, as a financial instrument, can navigate market volatility by averaging out the cost, and if you halt your contributions, you might miss out on the long-term returns.

3. Invest Carefully

Operation Sindoor has thrown up many conflicts, heightened uncertainty, and derailed financial goals. However, to balance out things, we suggest investors opt for diversified mutual funds. Diversification spreads out risk and reduces dependence on a single portfolio. For example, the investor can buy international mutual funds, depending on their risk appetite and financial goal, invest in gold mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, diversified equity mutual funds, etc. It will ensure that your investments stay in sync with your long-term financial objectives.

4. Do Not Delay

Whether you are a first-time investor or an existing investor who wishes to invest a substantial amount and is confused about whether to postpone your investments or move into conventional investments like FDs or post offices, you should not wait. The market has its share of fluctuations, and with the right strategy in place, you can overcome it. All you have to do is invest, choose the right funds, and opt for diversified long-term investments. 

5. Buy Defence ETF

However, as of now, there are no mutual funds in India dedicated to investing only in defense stocks.  However, there are defense ETFs that can deliver you good returns. People have earned high returns by investing in Grow Nifty India Defence ETF and Motilal Oswal Nifty India Defence ETF. They delivered returns of 6.73% and 6.74%. These stocks provide you an opportunity to generate wealth in hard times. Also, certain SIPs allow you to partially invest in defense stocks like SBI PSU Fund, ICICI Prudential Manufacturing Fund, and Nippon India Power and Infra Fund. 

6. Invest in Flexi Cap Funds 

Some experts have advised investors to buy flexi cap funds. These funds give the fund manager permission to invest across various sectors and themes depending on his outlook. However, the scheme is perfect for those who want to generate wealth for a long time and can lock in investments for five to seven years.

The year 2025 has changed the market sentiment and investor moods and brought many dilemmas to solve. Uncertainty and doubts have clouded their minds. However, the right investment strategy and the right partner can help you sail the boat. SRE is the choicest stock broker in Mumbai that can help you find investments that generate returns.
