Discover What to do during Market Correction

by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Investments

Listen to this article


“Market correction doesn’t destroy long-term wealth. Your reaction to it can destroy long-term wealth.”

Daily fluctuations in the stock market can turn profits into losses at a moment’s notice, and vice versa. To get a better idea of the stock market’s performance and growth (or lack thereof), you should look at a longer period, like a few years or a decade. 

Indexes are used as benchmarks to gauge the movement and performance of market segments. 

In India, Sensex is the benchmark index and provides a gauge of India’s economy.

What is a Market Correction?

What is a bear market?  

What is the difference between a market correction and a bear market?

Do market corrections lead to a bear market?

What should you do when there is a Market Correction?

Read through to discover all the answers and also be aware of the dos and don’ts during a market correction.

  • Conclusion

First, let’s look at Market Correction.

What is a Market Correction?

A market correction is usually defined as a decline of 10% -20% of an index from its most recent peak. Many factors can trigger a correction viz. macro-economic factors,  overheated market, etc. 

An index may fall into correction either briefly (days & weeks) or for a sustained period (months & years). This may lead to panic stations for many investors. 

We should understand that it is just an indication of a potential reset.Now that you know what a market correction is, let’s see what a bear market is.

What is a Bear Market?

A bear market is a period where markets decline by 20% or more. It can be short-term (a few months) or long-term (a few years). 

A sluggish economy, bursting market bubble, war & political unrest may trigger a bear market. 

Herd behaviour, fear, and a rush to protect downside losses can lead to prolonged periods of a bear market.

Now let’s see the major difference between a Market correction and a bear market.

Market Correction Vs. Bear market

 A correction is just a cyclical event whereas a bear market is deeper & has a greater impact. 

In a correction, investors are still optimistic but, in a bear market investor sentiment is more negative. Nobody can predict whether a correction can turn into a bear market or get reversed (bull). 

Historical data depicts that not all the corrections have turned into a bear market. Let’s analyze the past market corrections.

Below is a bar diagram that shows the market corrections and the bear markets. 

Analysis of the past Market corrections:

From the above bar diagram, you will find that there were only 4 market corrections that have become bear markets (the red bars) from the year 1991 to 2022.

And below is a tabular column that shows the dates of the bear markets, the reasons for the bear markets, and also the percentage of change in the bear markets.

Insight from the analysis:

When historical data is analyzed, there have been 22 market corrections (> 10%) since 1991, and only four of them became bear markets (>20%), in the years:

  • 1992, 
  • 2000-01, 
  • 2008
  • and 2020

Now let’s take a look at the Sensex days up and the down percentage.

Sensex Days up Vs. Down percentage (1991-2022)

Up days – 53.13% 

Down days – 46.87

“Prepare yourself to face the market correction, market crash, and recession. Then invest.”

Now you would have understood that not all Market corrections lead to bear markets. So what is that you should do when there is a Market Correction? Let’s find out.

How an investor like you should react when there is a Market Correction?

The answer is not to react but respond when there is a market correction. 

How is it done?

The solution is right here below. 

  • Practice discipline & stay invested. 

For eg: There is a stock market crash and you stop your SIP. This is a reaction that should not be allowed.

So how should you respond? 

Respond by staying invested and practicing discipline.  

  • Corrections give an opportunity to buy high-value stocks at a discounted price.
  • Don’t follow herd behavior.
  • Keep in mind that crashes are inherent to the stock market while recoveries have also been consistent. Staying invested in the long run will help you to survive such crashes with ease.

Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves. –Peter Lynch

There are 3 Crucial lessons to be learned from the past stock market crashes. Want to discover them? Watch the video below.


What else should you be doing when there is a market correction?

Stick to your Investment Fundamentals during a Market correction

  • List down the life goals & the amount required to fulfill them. Draft a plan, this will help to stay intact even when the road is bumpy.
  • Consider investing in various assets (diversify) depending upon your risk tolerance &  timeline of the goals.
  • Market volatility can skew asset allocation. Better use the market correction to rebalance your portfolio.
  • Investors saving for a goal that is due in 10 or more years, have time to potentially recover from a market drop. If the goal is due in the near term, then shift the investment to a stable asset class.  So that you won’t miss your goal.

Conclusion

No bear market runs forever. the  Bear market slump is short-lived compared to the bull market rally.  Decide according to your investment plan / financial plan. Don’t allow panic to sway your decision. Stay the course & reap the advantage when the market recovers.

 It’s better to ask an opinion from your financial planner since this fund is subjected to high risk.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

Personalized financial planning is provided keeping your short term, medium term and long term goals in mind. They do not pressurize you to purchase schemes of their choice. They provide their input and suggestions and leave the decision up to you which shows their honesty and high principle.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
