The stock markets remained volatile in the current calendar year. Both market benchmark indices have each corrected over 7% year-to-date, with a sharper correction seen over the past two months. Sensex & nifty corrected 9% in just two months. This is a measure of market volatility and is up more than 30% year-to-date.

Diversified equity funds have also felt the effects. For small-cap funds, the category's average return is down 13% year-to-date. It's down over 11% for mid-cap funds and 8% for large-cap funds. The heightened market volatility has unsettled investors, particularly those who are experiencing such volatility for the first time in their investment journey. Systematic investing in mutual funds is a great tool to take advantage of market volatility. Re-balancing should be done systematically either at a fixed interval or set a trigger based on deviation from the original allocation. If you're just getting started with goal-oriented investing in stock mutual funds, continue with your systematic plans, don't panic, use debt to protect against volatility.
