Should you STOP your SIP | Honest Retail Investor Talk Episode 1 | Neeraj Arora

In this "Honest Investing Talk 2026," we are having a zero-script, heart-to-heart conversation about the reality of the current stock market. If your mutual fund portfolio is in the red and your patience is being tested to the core, this video is for you. I’m sharing exactly what I’m doing with my STPs/SIPs, the harsh reality of the "12% guaranteed return" myth, and why proper asset allocation is the only thing that will save your portfolio during a stagnant market.

We also dive into the ugly truth about commission-hungry Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs) and why chasing high-return small-cap and mid-cap funds is a massive mistake.
