What is SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a disciplined and hassle-free way of investing in mutual funds. It allows investors to contribute a fixed amount regularly (monthly or quarterly) into a chosen mutual fund scheme. SIPs offer the benefit of rupee cost averaging, where investors buy more units when prices are low and fewer units when prices are high, potentially reducing the overall average cost of investment over time. This approach aims to promote long-term wealth creation by providing a systematic and convenient investment method for individuals.
