Systematic investment plan (SIP) is the most preferred way to invest in mutual funds. It gives an investor the flexibility to invest as per their investment capacity. One can start investing in a SIP with as small an amount as Rs 500. SIP provides rupee cost averaging, which means you purchase a net asset value (NAV), or unit, at different pr es every investment cycle. When the market is low, the price of NAV is low, when the market is high, the price is high.
