SIP Investment Strategy: Whether you are a salaried employee, small business owner, or individual, planning to accumulate money for post-retirement life is essential for everyone. It helps you become financially independent and enjoy a stress-free retirement. For those looking for an investment option to build a substantial corpus through consistent and disciplined contributions, a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in mutual funds can be very helpful.
What is an SIP?
An SIP is an investment route offered by mutual funds that allows investing a fixed amount at regular intervals (monthly/quarterly/yearly) rather than a lump sum. The minimum installment can be as low as Rs 500 per month. And you will gain interest on not only the principal amount but on the earned capital gain as well. That means SIP leverages the power of compounding and has the potential for market growth over time.
