Why Market Crashes Are Your SIP Goldmine: Keep Investing
Stopping investments during market crashes often means misunderstanding how Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) work. Experts explain that downturns are mathematically ideal times for SIPs because rupee cost averaging lets you buy more units when prices are low.
