Direct Answer

A SIP is a systematic investment plan where you invest a fixed amount regularly in a mutual fund. It helps build discipline and can support long-term goals through regular investing.

Key Takeaways

  • SIP is a method of investing, not a separate product.
  • Returns are market-linked and not guaranteed.
  • Goal, time horizon, and risk matter before choosing funds.

How SIP works

A fixed amount is invested on a chosen date into a mutual fund scheme. Units are allotted based on NAV.

Why employees use SIPs

SIPs fit monthly salary cycles and help automate long-term investing for goals.
