Singhvi said that relief has come in the market. Talking about this, Patil said that the market witnessed a lot of ups and downs this year. In fact, volatility is still increasing. The effect of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the market, inflation, commodity prices has now calmed down a bit, but its effect will remain on the overall GDP growth of companies.
Talking about yesterday's Fed meeting, the CIO said, the Fed raised interest rates by 25 bps and expects about 6 rate hikes this year. It affects overall global growth as they go down. Also, the growth rate of the US which was around 4% has come down to 2.83%.

Is this time to invest in Mutual Funds?
Patel said volatility will remain in the market but correction can come, be ready for it. He suggested investing in the form of SIP and STP for those investors who are waiting to invest in the market. You should invest a bit at each level, as it is very difficult to predict where the market will peak out and where the bottom will be, CIO advised.
Which Funds are Best for fresh investment?
He said that recently there has been a correction in midcap, small-cap, and large-cap. But the large-cap will provide more safety in this environment. He suggested that flexi-cap and multi-cap funds would be a wise choice for your portfolio.
