Nifty key support 22,500 to 22,800. September down about 5.7%. Experts: stick to asset allocation, continue SIPs.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Portfolio allocation matters more than market timing when the Sensex and Nifty are this volatile, with the Nifty slipping below 22,650 on 30 September 2026. Experts suggest sticking to a clear asset allocation across equity, debt and gold, favouring large caps over expensive small caps, continuing SIPs and investing fresh money in two to three tranches. Gold at about 5% to 10% can help cushion swings. The right mix depends on your goals, time horizon and risk appetite, not on where the market goes next week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Portfolio allocation is back in focus as Indian markets stay choppy. The Sensex today swung between 72,366 and 73,062 before trading near 72,534 around 2:53 PM on 30 September 2026, while the Nifty slipped below 22,650 to 22,648.90. With the Nifty heading for its worst September since 2018, many investors are asking where to invest and how much risk to take.<\/p>\n<p>Market experts say the answer lies in portfolio allocation and asset allocation, the mix of equity, debt, gold and cash in your portfolio, rather than trying to guess the bottom. Here is what they recommend and how investors can apply it to their own portfolio allocation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=portfolio-allocation-volatile-market-sensex-nifty-experts\"><strong>Click Here &#8211; Get Free Investment Predictions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/portfolio-allocation-volatile-market-sensex-nifty-experts\/#Why_Is_the_Market_So_Volatile_Right_Now\" title=\"Why Is the Market So Volatile Right Now?\">Why Is the Market So Volatile Right Now?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/portfolio-allocation-volatile-market-sensex-nifty-experts\/#Where_Should_Investors_Put_Their_Money_What_Experts_Say\" title=\"Where Should Investors Put Their Money?

Foreign investors have been net sellers, US bond yields remain high, crude oil has swung sharply because of the West Asia crisis and India&#8217;s 10-year bond yield rose to 7.12% on 28 September. The Nifty fell about 5.7% in September and is roughly 14% below its record high.<\/p>\n<p>Market volatility like this can push investors into emotional decisions, such as selling at lows or chasing short-term rallies. A clear portfolio allocation plan helps avoid both mistakes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Should_Investors_Put_Their_Money_What_Experts_Say\"><\/span><strong>Where Should Investors Put Their Money? What Experts Say<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Look beyond equity:<\/strong> ICICI Prudential AMC&#8217;s S Naren believes investors should focus on a broader asset allocation strategy rather than only equity. He sees small caps as expensive and dependent on flows, while large-cap valuations look more attractive, and he views banking and insurance as contrarian sectors to consider.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep SIPs running:<\/strong> Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal Financial Services has highlighted 22,500 to 22,800 as a key Nifty support zone. He says SIP investors should continue rather than react to short-term volatility, traders should avoid aggressive positions, and new portfolios should rely on bottom-up stock selection with some diversification into gold and silver.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deploy cash in tranches and rebalance:<\/strong> Wealth advisers say investors sitting on cash can invest in two to three tranches instead of waiting for complete clarity. If equity has fallen below your target share because of the correction, rebalancing by adding to equity can restore your intended mix. For new money, flexi-cap, large and mid-cap, and multi-cap funds may offer more stability because fund managers can shift between market-cap segments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Screen large-cap and quality stocks on the Univest Screener<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Simple_Asset_Allocation_Framework\"><\/span><strong>A Simple Asset Allocation Framework<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no single right portfolio allocation for everyone, and no portfolio allocation stays fixed forever.
