SIP: 5 tips to make most of your SIP investment

ZeeBiz Webdesk

Mutual fund investment through Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is emerging as a popular investment choice in India due to its disciplined and convenient approach. Here are five strategies you can implement to make the most of your SIPs.

Start early

Initiating investments in SIPs at an early stage can significantly enhance your returns over a period of 20 to 30 years.

Increase your SIP amount

Raising your SIP amount can help average out costs over time and take advantage of rupee-cost averaging. This means acquiring more units when the market is down and fewer units when it's up.

Choose your investment fund wisely

Define your investment goals, whether short-term or long-term, and invest accordingly in equity, ELSS, or debt funds.

Optimise portfolio

Keep track of your mutual funds' performance every six months or a year; if some of them are not performing well, you may think of replacing them with better-performing ones in their categories.

Choose your investment fund wisely

Diversify your portfolio

Don't rely on one kind of mutual fund; always keep a good mix of hybrid, flexi-cap, debt, contra, and ELLS funds in your portfolio to fight market volatility.
