Continue Investing

You shouldn’t discontinue investments in well-performing funds because of market movements…

I have Rs 2,000 SIP investments in HDFC Equity and ICICI Discovery. Should I continue investments in these funds in this current scenario or exit and invest in some other fund?

Both the funds that you have invested have a proven track record and investment and there is no need for you to exit these funds because of the market movements, especially when you plan to invest the sum that you redeem from this investment. When you invest through SIPs you get the benefit of regular investments over market cycles which average your acquisition cost and helps in long-term wealth creation. You should continue investing in these funds.
