What is SIP?
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method of investing a fixed amount in mutual funds. Investors can invest daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly, depending on their choice.
Why choose SIP?
SIP is beginner-friendly, by investing even a small of Rs 100 regularly, first-time investors can start their journey toward building a sizeable corpus. It is also convenient, with automated deductions you don’t have to worry about missing out on investment.
Why should one start investing early?
To get maximum returns from investment in the long run one should start investing early. Let’s understand it through an example.

Total Investment: ₹12,00,000
Maturity Amount (at 12% annual return): ₹50,00,000
Investor B: Starts investing ₹5,000/month at age 35 and continues till age 55 (20 years).
Total Investment: ₹12,00,000

By starting 10 years earlier, Investor A earns ₹22,00,000 more, showcasing the power of compounding.
