Market volatility offers long-term buying opportunity; positive on pharma, banking: Shriram Life CIO

Ajit Banerjee, President and CIO at Shriram Life Insurance, said the recent market volatility is being used as a long-term buying opportunity. He noted that improved valuations and stable macro fundamentals make current levels attractive for investors with a long-term horizon. The firm has increased exposure during the correction, with a positive view on sectors such as pharma, banking and infrastructure. Banerjee added that near-term market moves are largely news-driven and should not distract long-term investors.
