How quant Infrastructure Fund survived The 2022 Rate-Hike Correction

Inflation surged after the pandemic, the US Fed hiked at the fastest pace in 40 years, and FIIs sold Indian equities for 9 straight months. A slow-bleed correction that punished the frothiest corners of the 2021 bull run.

The ₹1 lakh stress test — invested at the worst possible moment

Invested at the pre-crash peak (11 Apr 2022)	₹1,00,000
Value at the bottom (20 Jun 2022)	₹80,185
Value one year after the peak	₹98,288
Value today (1 Sept 2026)	₹1,81,953

The lesson isn't that crashes don't hurt — it's that selling at the bottom turns a temporary fall into a permanent loss. The investor who bought at the absolute worst day and simply held is in profit today.

The unluckiest SIP experiment

Imagine starting a ₹10,000/month SIP on the exact peak day — the single unluckiest start date possible — and continuing for 24 months straight through the crash:

Invested

₹2,40,000

Worth today

₹4,06,643

Return

+69%

Crash-month installments bought units cheap — that's the whole SIP thesis, demonstrated with real data instead of a brochure.
