wrong time to invest in SIPs

I currently have around 8L lump sum available to invest and was looking into equity funds. however most the SIPs are at an all time high. I don’t wish to reallocate my portfolio a lot, so I’m looking at it for the long term (~4-5 years minimum), but wished to make sure I’m investing at the right point. is there anyone who’s stuck in a similar situation, what would you recommend? (do think that 2024 will be more growth driven for the economy than 2023) looking to put it in with the following split: 50% - Large Cap 30%- Mid Cap 20% - Small Cap should I wait some time or put it directly in?

I am confident it will, just that MF investing is new to me and the money is massive (for me) so I felt like asking folks about the timing. I know I can’t time the market, just that I don’t want to buy it at the Uber high

If you are scared, simply do a weekly SIP and deploy the money in 4 weeks. If stocks go up, you would've got some units at a lower price. If it goes down, you would have the opportunity to buy at a lower price. It doesn't make sense financially but psychologically it does. Avoids analysis paralysis and not investing the money. Completely rational move without emotions backed by data is to do a lumpsum investment today and forget it but we are humans after all

You can't predict market, only thing you should be comfortable is to hold. I suggest you add 15% to gold as a hedge. Market might cool off only after assembly elections. You can't completely pick bottom. You can keep deploying in parts when ever there is 1-2% fall.

Dont stress too much about catching bottoms and tops. Focus more on investing long term in quality businesses/MFs

Doubling down on Equities?

Hi guys, I have around 4L cash lying around which I wanted to invest. Currently, I think I am in a position to take maximum risks, and see where things go. I also haven’t redeemed the 1.5L tax deduction on Section 80c so PPF and ELSS are open as an investment opportunity. I was worried to invest in the current equity markets. Have just put in around 6.5L into Equities in December (Split equally amongst Large, Mid, Small and Flexi Cap) Needed advice on which seems a better option: - Put 1.5L in PPF and the rest in Large Cap MFs since Large Caps haven’t peaked yet - Distribute the 4L over the next year (~33k/month) and invest it in a SIP to account for market changes - Put the entire amount into equities (1.5L ELSS, 2.5L Large Caps) Also, needed advice if it’s better to look for a Real Estate or SGBs Investment to diversify risk? (<25 yo right now so can take a property around 40-50L to test the waters) What are your views on the current market? I’m planning to continue investing a significant chunk (~50% salary) into SIPs all through. Should I reconsider?

Where to invest Rs. 2 lacs right now?

Hi folks, Personally, I thought I should invest in the index fund. Because, I don't want to take the risk with this amount. But I would still like to know 2 things - 1. Is the index fund fine? 2. Is it the right time to invest in lumpsum Or should I do an SIP of 20k? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
