What is SIP?
SIP means a systematic investment plan. It is the easiest way to invest in mutual funds at any intervals viz. weekly, monthly or quarterly as per preferences. A SIP model is nothing but a method where a fixed amount is auto-debited from the investor’s bank account and a certain amount of mutual fund units are bought based on their price on the date of investment. This way when the market is low, more units come into investor’s portfolio which later at the time of liquidation can be sold handsomely.
