Mutual Fund & SIP

 Sub-Broker :- NJ India Invest (NJ Fundz)
What type of a mutual fund is a SIP?
I was taken aback by this question before I realised the person posing it thought a SIP was a type of mutual fund.Unfortunately, many new investors seem to be under this misconception.A Systematic Investment Plan is not a type of mutual fund. It is a method of investing in a mutual fund.
How you can invest in a mutual fund
There are two ways in which you can invest in a mutual fund.
1. A one-time outright payment
2. Periodic investments
How to invest in a mutual fund
1. Is there a load?
An exit load is a fee you pay the fund when you sell the units, just like the entry load is a fee you pay when you buy the units.Initially, funds never charged an entry load on SIPs. Now, however, a number of them do.You will also have the check if there is an exit load. Generally, though, there is none. Also, if there is an entry load, an exit load will not be charged.An exit load may be charged if you stop the SIP mid-way. Let's say you have a one-year SIP but discontinue after five months, then an exit load will be levied. These conditions will wary between mutual funds.
2. What is the minimum investment?
If you do a one time investment, the minimum amount that you have to invest is Rs 5,000.If you invest via an SIP, the amount drops. Each fund has their own minimum amount. Some may keep it at least Rs 500 per month, others may keep it as Rs 1,000.
How will an SIP help?
When you buy the units of a fund, you may do so when the NAV is really high. For instance, let's say you bought the units of a fund when the bull run was at its peak, leading to a high NAV.If the market dips after that, the value of your investments falls and you may have to wait for a long while to make a return on your investment. But, if you invest via a SIP, you do not commit the error of buying units when the market is at its peak. Since you are buying small amounts continuously, your investment will average out over a period of time.You will end up buying some units at a high cost and some units a lower price. Over time, your chances of making a profit are much higher when compared to an one-time investment.
