ETMarkets Smart Talk: Smallcap investors should consider a five-year SIP horizon amid volatility: Sorbh Gupta
Economic Times 1 hr ago·23 Oct 2026, 4:39 am
Smallcap stocks are known for their high growth potential but also come with significant volatility. Sorbh Gupta, Head of Equity at Bajaj Asset Management, advises investors to consider a five-year Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) horizon. This approach helps average out the purchase price of shares over time, reducing the impact of market swings. It is crucial to align this strategy with your personal risk appetite and financial goals to ensure it fits your investment profile.
Gupta notes that market volatility is likely to persist in the near term due to global uncertainties. However, he suggests that current valuations in the smallcap segment may appear attractive to long-term investors. By maintaining a disciplined approach and focusing on the long term, investors can navigate the short-term fluctuations and potentially benefit from the growth of quality smallcap companies.
