Mutual Fund Investment : Why SIP?

What is SIP?

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a mode of Investment through which you can invest a specific amount at regular intervals in a Mutual Fund. Making investments in a consistent way makes it easier to achieve your financial goals.

  • Disciplined way of investment: As Investment amount is directly debited from Investors account and invested in a mutual fund, Investors emotional biases are kept at bay. Disciplined way of investment is imperative for long term wealth creation
  • Small Ticket Size: Investors can invest via SIP with as low as Rs. 500 a month
  • Benefit From power of Compounding
  • Compounding is a simple but powerful concept especially in the long run. It is a process through which returns earned on the principle amount is reinvested so that the returns from the investment also start generating return.

  • Rupee Cost Averaging: Rupee cost averaging is a concept whereby the Investor gets more MF units when NAV’s are low and less units when NAV’s are high for the same amount invested due to market fluctuations. This leads to your purchasing costs getting averaged over a period of time. You need not worry about timing the market when investing via SIP as you benefit from rupee cost averaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What is a Mutual Fund?

    Mutual fund is a mechanism for pooling money by issuing units to the investors and investing funds in securities in accordance with objectives as disclosed in offer document.

    Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors and thus the risk is diversified because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual funds issue units to the investors in accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unitholders.

    The profits or losses are shared by investors in proportion to their investments. Mutual funds normally come out with a number of schemes which are launched from time to time with different investment objectives. A mutual fund is required to be registered with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) before it can collect funds from the public.
