SIP through the investment route has crossed Rs 10,000 mark for the first time in September 2021.
One of the most convenient ways of investing in a mutual fund is through a systematic investment plan or SIP as it is commonly known. It’s an investment plan wherein you could invest a fixed amount in a mutual fund scheme at a defined frequency for example every month, instead of making a lump-sum investment. SIP is more like a recurring deposit where you deposit a small amount every month in a bank. It gives an investor the benefit of rupee cost averaging.
Analysis of the data shows that more and more investors are opting for the SIP route of investment rather than the lumpsum investment. Total inflows to equity inflows in September 2021 remained at Rs 8677 crore, while investment through the SIP route came at Rs 10351 crore. This shows that there has been net redemption from lumpsum investors.
The table shows the monthly inflows and number of SIP accounts for the current financial year.
