SIP Investment Strategy: If you don't want to rely on others for money to cover your daily essentials after retirement then it's essential to start planning for your post-retirement life. One way to accumulate a substantial retirement corpus is by investing in an SIP (Systematic Investment Plan). This long-term investment option, offered by many mutual funds, allows investors to invest small amounts periodically—monthly, quarterly, or annually.
