Investing through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a popular choice among mutual fund investors. SIPs allow you to invest small amounts systematically through monthly installments, with the flexibility to increase, decrease, or stop contributions as needed. Starting investments can be as low as Rs 100, with most mutual funds requiring a minimum SIP of Rs 500. The biggest advantage of SIPs is rupee cost averaging, where you buy more units when the market is down and fewer units when the market is up, reducing the impact of market volatility over time.
