Foreign investors pulled out ₹35,860 crore from Indian stocks in September, and markets have cooled off as a result.
High oil prices and returns on safer global investments going up are making them nervous, and when they sell, the Nifty dips along with your equity mutual funds.
Total foreign selling this year is ₹2.69 lakh crore — but your SIP doesn't blink either way.
What this means for you
- Your investment app may show a lower portfolio value this month — that's paper, not permanent, until you sell.
- Every SIP installment right now buys more units at a lower price, which works in your favour long-term.
- Your FD and savings account stay completely untouched by this — only your equity investments feel it.
What you can do
- Keep your SIP running — pausing now means missing out on the cheaper units.
- Avoid checking your portfolio daily; review it every few months instead.
This is the exact moment SIPs are built for — stay the course and let time do the rest.
