What is A SIP?
A systematic Investment Plan, commonly referred to as an SIP, allows you to
invest a small sum regularly in your preferred mutual fund scheme. By
activating an SIP, a fixed amount is deducted from your bank account every
month, which gets invested in the mutual fund of your choice.
Unlike a lump sum investment, you spread your investment over time with an
SIP. Therefore, you don’t need to have a large amount of money to get started
with your mutual fund investment through SIPs. By investing via an SIP, you
are forced to set aside a sum at regular intervals, which help you instil a sense of
financial discipline in the long run.

When the markets are down, you purchase more fund units while you purchase
fewer units when the markets are surging. Since NAV of all mutual funds are
updated on a daily basis, the cost of purchase may vary from one SIP instalment
to another. Over time, the cost of purchase averages out and turns out to be on
the lower side. This is known as rupee cost averaging. This benefit is not
available when you invest a lump sum.

Monthly SIP
On the other hand, in an SIP, a fixed amount of sum is
deposited at regular intervals of time in a mutual fund scheme.
In short, one-time investment mode can be chosen if you have
money in hand right now that can be invested, and an SIP can
be chosen if you are expecting a regular inflow of money in
future. First-time investors are advised to take the SIP route.

Goals
It is important to ensure that you choose to invest in those funds that
help you achieve your goals.
You have to assess your requirements and match them with the
objectives of the fund under consideration before initiating an SIP
into it.
Risk tolerance
It is essential that you invest only in those funds whose risk level falls
under your risk appetite.
If you are a risk-averse investor, then it is important that you invest in
those funds that carry minimal to no risk.

KYC
All our mutual fund investments mandate KYC
documentation and a net banking account. Undergoing KYC
verification is mandatory as per the norms of the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), without which you
cannot invest in mutual funds, and it is a one-time process.
There is usually no need to sign cheques and fill out forms if
you are investing in mutual funds with us.
