What was January like for MFs

Volatile: this word perhaps best sums up how the markets behaved in January 2005. During the month, the BSE Sensex shed 0.71% to close at 6,556 points; the S&P CNX Nifty was down by 1.11% and ended at 2,058 points.

If December 2004 was a lucrative month for investors; January 2005 proved to be the proverbial 'eye-opener' as investors encountered intense turbulence.
