1/10A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a smart way to invest small amounts in mutual funds at regular intervals—monthly, weekly, or even daily. It encourages consistent savings, brings discipline, and helps you build a significant corpus over time through the power of compounding.
2/10Once you set up a SIP, the process is automated. Every month, a fixed amount is deducted from your bank account and invested in your chosen mutual fund. It’s simple, beginner-friendly, and doesn't require active market tracking.
3/10Time plays a crucial role in investing. Starting a SIP early in life can make a huge difference. Even a delay of 5–10 years can drastically impact the final corpus due to the magic of compounding.
4/10Consider this example:
Mohini starts investing Rs 1,000/month at age 20 and continues for 40 years. Her corpus grows close to Rs 98 lakh. Her husband starts the same SIP at 30 and ends up with only Rs 30 lakh in 30 years. The early start helped Mohini earn over three times more.
