What is bottom fishing?

Investopedia defines bottom fishing as looking for bargains among stocks whose prices have recently dropped dramatically.

If you are an investor with some cash available, whether money is set aside for this purpose or from a recent windfall like a bonus, temporary market declines can present excellent bottom-fishing opportunities.

After all, investors aim to buy low and sell high, an opportunity that rarely comes around. It is much easier to jump onto a hot stock, sector, or theme after it has already gained momentum.

Who can benefit from bottom fishing?

If you are an investor who has experienced at least one down-market (e.g., the COVID-19 market crash), you have a chance to benefit from bottom-fishing opportunities.

We recommend having the experience of at least one market cycle because, without it, it is easy to believe that stock markets rise 15-20% every year, like a supercharged fixed deposit.

If you are not this type of investor, it’s best to continue your SIP in your chosen funds as-is without making any additional changes.

What should investors do with this data?

Bottom fishing can easily turn into catching a falling knife if you don’t know what you’re doing.

There are three key takeaways from this data:

  1. Review existing funds: Investors should check if their current funds are on the list and evaluate their next steps, including consulting their advisor.
  2. Rebalance portfolios: Most investors should use this opportunity to rebalance from debt to equity if their portfolio’s asset allocation has drifted by 5%. Having a worked out financial plan is important to execute this step correctly
  3. Understand market trends: If you’re trying to determine whether we’re in a bear market, here’s a guide to help you assess the situation.
