Lakshmi Iyer, MD & CEO, Bajaj Alts
The best protection is diversification, staying invested through volatility and keeping some cash aside, so you can seize opportunities when others are distracted by the noise.

Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO, Edelweiss MF
Rather than reacting to every move, investors should stay diversified, continue SIPs and stick to their asset allocation plan. Long-term financial goals, not short-term noise, should guide investment decisions.

Harshad Borawake, Head of Research & Fund Manager, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund
Markets constantly move from one popular theme to another, but a compelling story alone does not guarantee returns. Maintain asset allocation, focus on businesses with sustainable earnings, avoid FOMO and stay committed to long-term goals.

Shreyash Devalkar, Head – Equity, Axis Mutual Fund
The answer lies in asset allocation. A portfolio diversified across equity, debt, and other suitable asset classes provides a balance between growth potential, inflation protection and downside resilience is the one that investors should aim to build. Investors should avoid reacting to every market headline or narrative, whether driven by fear or exuberance.
