When you invest in an SBI mutual fund scheme using SIP, you are investing in a high-quality mutual fund scheme.
Tenure Flexibility for Investment
For most mutual fund schemes managed by SBI Mutual Fund AMC, the number of SIP EMI can be as less as 6 months and there is nothing called maximum tenure when availing an SBI SIP. Besides, you can also change the tenure at a later date after the SIP has been started without a hitch.
Flexible Investment Amount
An SBI SIP can be started by an individual investor with an amount as small as INR500 for each instalment. Such high flexibility is one of the main reasons for investments to go up in the Systematic Investment Plan segment.
Rupee Cost Averaging
As mentioned, the price of individual units of the fund and the average NAV are equal as per the dates on which the SBI SIP was invested under the rupee cost averaging. Therefore, an individual investor no longer needs to worry about waiting for an opportune moment to enter the market. Market timing is hard to master and very few have really performed here over an extended time period. The Systematic investment plan from SBI removes the need for such an activity, thus is good for new investors.
Disciplined Investments
One of the key factors that determine future wealth is financial discipline. While it seems easy to guarantee that you save a specified amount at given monthly intervals, few actually manage to do this constantly.
Long term Benefit of Compounding
Though not a fixed rate instrument, mutual fund investments are subject to the general rule – the earlier you invest, the more your wealth grows over time. This is why the SIP calculator is an important tool for calculating the future value of your investments. This is based on compounding system to provide you with approximate returns. Small amounts invested in mutual fund schemes through an SBI SIP bring high profits through compounding.
