DIIs anchor Indian markets global volatility: Ashika

Bengaluru, June 18 (UNI) Amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and choppy global markets, Amit Jain, Co-Founder of Ashika Global Family Office Services, has urged investors to remain calm and take a long-term view, highlighting the growing strength of domestic institutional investors (DIIs) in steering the Indian markets.
"With DIIs deploying over Rs three trillion, domestic flows now anchor market direction, reducing reliance on foreign capital," Jain stated on Wednesday.
He emphasised that this structural shift provides greater resilience to Indian equities even amid global uncertainties.
Referring to the recent volatility triggered by geopolitical tensions, Jain noted that such shocks usually cause sharp but short-lived reactions unless they escalate into broader economic disruptions.
"This is not a time to panic," he said. "Investors should stay disciplined, not reactive, and maintain a balanced portfolio with exposure to defensives, gold, and quality large caps."
He pointed out that while India's equity markets have underperformed in 2025 so far, this comes after several years of strong gains. The current phase represents a healthy reset, particularly in mid- and small-cap segments," he explained, adding that India's core strengths -- robust GDP growth, macroeconomic stability, and rising domestic demand — remain firmly in place.
Jain also underlined the strategic role of gold and silver in current portfolios.
"Despite trading near historic highs, they continue to serve as effective hedges against inflation and currency risk," he said.
While acknowledging that sectors like Auto, IT and Real Estate are under pressure, he maintained that quality companies within these sectors still offer attractive long-term value.
"Market corrections often present opportunities in strong but temporarily mispriced companies," he observed.
He concluded by reinforcing the importance of disciplined investing and the role of India’s deepening domestic capital base in cushioning external shocks.

Its offerings include Global Family Office Services, Alternative Investment Funds (Ashika India Select and Alpha Funds), Investment Banking, Retail Broking, Merchant Banking, Institutional Services, and its digital platform 'Dhanush'.
