  Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)  
       
  Regular Investing is not easy. People make a one time investment and forget or invest sporadically. This is due to lack of time and other constraints in daily life. The result? The investment may not give optimal returns.    
 

 

  However, there is simpler solution called the “Systematic Investment Plan” (SIP) offered by DBS Chola Mutual Fund. SIP simply means investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals. It is just like a recurring deposit with the post office or bank where you put in a small amount of money each month. The difference here is that the amount is invested in a mutual fund. The minimum amount to be invested can be as small as Rs 1000 and the frequency of investment is usually monthly.
 

 

  The Systematic Investment Plan offered by DBS Chola Mutual Fund is a smart, sensible and convenient way of investing in the stock market. Besides disciplining you to invest regularly, SIP also allows you to take advantage of market ups and downs; thereby minimizing the risk posed by the stock market and helping you create wealth over the long term.    
 

 

   
  How an SIP scores?    
 

Disciplined Investing in an Unpredictable Stock Market!

   
 

Markets are unpredictable, and it's difficult for most investors to pick the best time to buy or sell. “Time in" the market is generally regarded as more important than trying to "Time" the market. A steady approach can take the emotion out of investing and helps you stick to your long-term investment plan. A Systematic Investment Plan may be a good way to achieve that objective. By investing systematically, an investor typically buys more units when prices are low and fewer units when prices are high, which over time may lower the average unit cost. The concept is called “rupee cost averaging” and it helps to build a solid foundation for your savings over time.

  Invest with as low as Rs.1000 per month    
  If you don’t want to invest lump sum, you can begin by investing small amounts through SIP. SIP ensures that you save regularly. You can use the Auto Debit facility offered by banks to transfer money to your SIP account.    
       
  Helps you build for the future    
  Most of us have needs that involve significant amounts of money, like child’s education, daughter’s marriage, buying a house or a car. By investing small amounts every month through SIP, you can build portfolio overtime and have a far better chance of fulfilling your needs.
