Mutual Funds provide you an opportunity to conveniently save up for your long term goals at your ease? All you need to do is invest regularly!

Investing Regularly through SIPs

 

Small steps can take you a long way!

Make a Wise decision & Start SIP TODAY

Dreams can only be achieved if you work towards them. Even building wealth is no different; it is built– Step by Step.

There is strong connection between Disciplined Investing and Long Term wealth creation? Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a systematic investment strategy offered by Mutual Funds to Investors, which  allows them to invest equal amounts of money in regular and fixed intervals. Such systematic approaches helps inculcate the good habit of disciplined investing which is useful for long-term wealth creation and protection.

SIP is a simple method of investing used across the world. Our earnings, expenses and savings are mostly regular and recurring. Therefore it is wise to INVEST too regularly.

Formula for Wealth Creation is simpler than you think. Have a look at it:

Starting Early + Investing Regularly = Wealth creation

 

Benefits of SIP

 

Small and regular investment

 

Systematic Investment Plan helps you achieve your bigger financial goals even with a small sum of amount invested every periodic interval. SIP is lighter on your wallet. It allows you to invest a small amount as per your wallet size with as low as Rs. 1,000/- with periodic intervals of investments such as weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly. It is a simple and affordable way for beginners to start investing in Mutual Fund Schemes.

 

Disciplined Investment

 

Investors often fail to maintain the habit of investing over the period of time. A dedicated approach and focus is the key to any investment. As the name says, systematic investment plan is a system to invest a particular amount regularly. This naturally brings a discipline to your investing habits. Inculcating a habit of investing with a regular investment of a small sum is practically much easier than investing lump sum amount every year. It is recommended to start an SIP if you haven’t yet inculcated the discipline of investing.

 

Power of compounding

 

The biggest force that drives investments ahead is the power of compounding. Although, systematic investments are smaller, investors can benefit higher with the power of compounding. Starting to invest early can build opportunities of higher returns. Simply, the small amounts that you invest every month generate returns over the invested period and simultaneously the return generated upon the previous investment gets added to your new investments. An amount of Rs. 2000/- invested every month for 5 years with an assumption of 10% CAGR will generate Rs. 1,56,165. Explore more about SIP investment amounts required to reach your goals with Investment Growth Calculator.

 

Rupee cost averaging

 

Timing the market is impossible! Rupee Cost Averaging is an investment technique applied to regular fixed instalments in a mutual fund scheme. As the amount is fixed and regular, more units are bought when the NAV is low and lesser units are bought when the NAV is high. Through this mechanism, the investment risk is spread across market movements.

By the very nature, markets are volatile and hence it makes sense to spread your investments to benefit from the lows that occur frequently. SIPs are not a magical potion; however with SIPs one can automate the entire investment process and delink sentiment from investing. This allows you to benefit from rupee cost averaging and provides optimal returns.
