Let us understand the concept of SIP (systematic investment plan).
What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)? SIP enables you to invest over the longer time period, reducing the risk of market volatility and helps you to build a portfolio, which can be utilized to achieve your financial goal. SIP can be linked to any of the goals whether it is child’s education, wedding planning, overseas vacation, car purchase, retirement planning or house purchase.
Working Concept of SIP Once you have identified the recommended solution through financial planning you can easily start a SIP, all you have to do is to give a cheque, with relevant details for the amount you want to invest. You Will be allotted fund units at every regular interval of time. There is a least risk of timing the market while your investments are going through the rough edges of the market.
Rupee Cost Averaging: Investing in SIP enables an investor to take part in the stock markets without actively timing them and he/she can benefit by buying more units when the price falls and less units when the price rises. This scheme helps reduce the average cost per unit of investment through a method called Rupee Cost Averaging.
