Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
- Disciplined investing : Through SIP you can choose to invest fixed amounts (as low as Rs500) in a mutual fund scheme at regular intervals (like every month or every quarter) for a chosen period of time (say for a year).
- Accumulate wealth : Set aside a small amount every month through SIP and achieve financial goals like buying a car or a house.
- Beat inflation : Equity investing can help you combat inflation that diminishes the value of your savings.
- Rupee cost averaging : A regular investment in a mutual fund scheme can reduce the cost of acquiring mutual fund units over a longer period as you end up buying more units when the price is low and fewer units when the price is high.
- Fewer efforts : You can start an SIP by simply placing an order by logging on to Sharekhan's online mutual fund page. Click on the "SIP" button and fill in the SIP amount, SIP date etc and provide the information asked by the system.
Tax-saving mutual fund schemes
- Tax waiver (ELSS) : Tax benefit on investments up to Rs100,000.
- Lower lock-in-period : These schemes have a lower lock-in period of three years compared to the other tax saving avenues. A mandatory lock-in for three years inculcates a long-term investment habit.
- Superior return : Investments in equity over a long term have historically delivered better returns than the "guaranteed return" avenues.
- Tax-free gain : Dividends and long-term gains are tax-free (these schemes give you the twin options of tax savings and capital gains).
- SIP : Investors can opt for a systematic investment plan and keep on investing small amounts periodically, say on a monthly basis.
Index Fund :
A passively managed mutual fund that specialises in the purchase of securities that match or represent a specific index and tries to mirror the performance of a specific index, such as the BSE Sensex. Since portfolio decisions are automatic and transactions are infrequent, expenses tend to be lower than those of actively managed funds.
