Investors who started their systematic investment plans (SIPs) in mutual fund schemes betting on mid cap shares three years ago are staring at losses on account of the sell-off since January 2018. Financial advisors suggest investors with higher risk appetite could increase the quantum of their SIPs in mid cap schemes because the valuations have become cheaper after the fall.
As per data from Value Research, investments made through the SIP route for a three-year period in 22 out of 25 mid-cap funds in the regular plans are in the red. In the small cap space, all 13 funds are in the red for the same period.
