Benefits of Investing in SIP

Some of the major advantages of investing in a SIP are as follows:

Rupee Cost Averaging

Most investors are skeptical about the best time to invest in the Market. They are worried about the volatile markets. But, rupee cost averaging breaks all the worries. Since you become a regular investor with a SIP, your money fetches more units when the price of shares is low and lesser when the price is high. During the volatile cycle, it may allow you to achieve a lower average cost per unit. Thus, the positives of investing through a SIP becomes quite evident in the times of market fluctuations.

Power of Compounding

SIPs work on Power of Compounding. Investors can put in a small amount of money and can see how the value increase over time. The longer you stay invested, the greater the value of your investment becomes. As, the returns earned at regular intervals are reinvested in the fund, investors get a return on the return. And the same cycle continues for years. To benefit the most out of the power of compounding, investors should start a savings at an early age to make the most out of it.

No Need to Time the Market

With a SIP, investors don’t need to worry about the market timings. SIP helps investors ride the market Volatility by averaging out the cost as they invest a fixed sum regularly at various levels.

Easy Way to Achieve Financial Goals

As you become a regular investor via a SIP, you can easily plan your financial goals. For example, if your short-term goal is buying a car in 2 years, then you can invest in debt funds, and if you have set Retirement planning as your long-term goal then, you should invest in equity funds via a SIP. SIPs also create a regular habit of savings over the long-run. Investors who want to avail all the benefits in their investments should take a SIP route in Mutual Funds.
