You must have come across SIPs and Mutual Funds as inseparable Siamese twins in every news article, investment blog, or press release. But what does a SIP mean? And why should you choose it?
This blog answers the Whats and the Whys so that you, the investor, are empowered enough to make a healthy investment decision. Let’s start off by understanding SIPs.
What Is A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?
Investing through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) means that you invest a small, fixed amount of money in regular intervals over a fixed duration of time instead of investing a lump sum. There are 5 types of SIPs:
Top-up SIP: Allows you to invest a higher amount after a fixed duration of time.
Flexi SIP: Allows you to increase or decrease the SIP amount based on your needs.
Perpetual SIP: Allows you to invest in perpetuity (till 2099), that is, without an end date.
Trigger SIP: Allows you to set an investment trigger. The trigger, in this case, could be a specific NAV value, date, index level, etc.
Super SIP: A unique feature only available on the Cube Wealth app. Allows you to adjust your SIP amount and even skip payments when you don't have funds.
Benefits Of Investing In Mutual Funds Through SIPs
SIPs offer the unique advantage of investing in Mutual Funds in a regular and affordable way. Here are the benefits:
The magic of compounding
Financial discipline
Risk based investment options
Low minimum investment amount
As the investor, you can choose when to receive the returns either at fixed intervals or towards the end of the SIP’s tenure. Before investing in SIPs, it is a good practice to identify your risk level and set a plan accordingly.
