A specific amount should be invested for a continuous period at regular intervals under this plan.
SIP is similar to a regular saving scheme like a recurring deposit. It is a method of investing a fixed sum regularly in a mutual fund.
SIP allows the investor to buy units on a given date every month. The investor decides the amount and also the mutual fund scheme.
While the investor's investment remains the same, more number of units can be bought in a declining market and less number of units in a rising market.
The investor automatically participates in the market swings once the option for SIP is made.
SIP ensures averaging of rupee cost as consistent investment ensures that average cost per unit fits in the lower range of average market price. An investor can either give post dated cheques or ECS instruction and the investment will be made regularly in the mutual fund desired for the required amount. SIP generally starts at minimum amounts of Rs.1000/- per month and upper limit for using an ECS is Rs.25000/- per instruction. For instance, if one wishes to invest Rs.1, 00,000/- per month, then they need to do it on four different dates.
