Hi folks, Wanted to know how much you guys have lost in Mutual Funds over your investing span? Saw loads of stories of upsides however would love to hear how risky these could be just to keep myself calm and composed incase such a correction happens.

We need to see a drastic Equity down market ASAP!

The current dream run is misguiding today's new investors about Equity asset class and risks. Drawdowns have gotten so rare, it really feels like a dream.

Yes, actually waiting for the Euphoria to pass. Have lost money in markets before so waiting for it as well. How are you shaping your portfolio for 2024?

If you invest for a 15 year duration, then you will never loose money. MFs are a game of patience.

Consider COVID is a very rare occurrence, what should we expect on an average dip?

My dad was not aware of MFs in 2008, he did a lump sum investment in reliance mutual fund(now Nippon) for a mere Rs 4000 It is now worth ~1.2 lakh That's 26x in 15 years

Shouldn't be losing money if your outlook is to stay invested for the long term.

I'm personally sitting at a XIRR of 28% since before COVID. invested heavily during COVID collapse.

I think this is exactly the kind of cases I want to avoid because it paints a false narrative of high profits in my mind.
Would want to be cautious at this time.
