Experts Warn Retail Investors About Risks of Buying at Market Peaks and Following Past Winners
Recent analyses highlight challenges faced by retail investors amid market dynamics. Newslaundry notes that despite strong inflows into equity mutual funds and SIPs in 2024-26, many investors bought stocks near peak prices, leading to delayed or limited returns. Mint compares this to the Millennium Bridge effect, where collective investor behavior chasing past winners can create risks and reduce fund performance consistency. Both emphasize the importance of valuation and caution against following trends without considering underlying risks.
