What is SIP? π€
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a smart and flexible way to invest in mutual funds. It allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly, quarterly, or annually), making investing hassle-free and disciplined. With SIP, you donβt need a large sum to start; even βΉ500 is enough to begin your investment journey! π
How Does SIP Work? π¦
- Choose an amount β Decide how much you want to invest (e.g., βΉ10,000 per month).
- Select a mutual fund β Pick a suitable mutual fund for long-term growth.
- Automated investment β Your chosen amount gets deducted from your bank account and invested in mutual funds at market prices.
- Get units β You receive mutual fund units based on the market price at the time of investment.
- Enjoy benefits β Over time, SIP leverages Rupee Cost Averaging (buying more units when prices are low and fewer when prices are high) and Power of Compounding to grow your wealth. π₯
