That is why SIPs as a route is mostly preferred in Equity Funds. Moreover, historically, investment in equity stocks has given impressive returns amongst all the other asset classes, if the investment was done with discipline and with a long-term horizon.

SIP in equity helps to avoid the risk of timing the market and facilitate wealth creation by averaging the cost of investment. Let’s look at some more Benefits of SIP that helps in achieving long-term goals:

Power of Compounding- Simple interest is when you gain interest on only the principal. In the case of compound interest, the interest amount is added to the principal, and interest is calculated on the new principal (old principal plus gains). This process continues every time. Since SIP in Mutual Funds are in instalments, they are compounded, which adds more to the initially invested sum.
Risk reduction- Given that a SIP is spread over a long period of time, one catches all periods of the stock market, the ups and more importantly the downturns. In downturns, when fear catches most investors, SIP instalments continue ensuring the investors buy “low”.
Convenience of SIPs- Convenience is one of the biggest benefits of a SIP. A user has to sign-up one-time and go through documentation. Once done, thereafter debits for subsequent investments take place automatically and the investor just has to monitor the investments.
