And the idea of investing small sums has appealed to most of you, no doubt. But equally, there are many misconceived notions on what SIP is all about and how it needs to be used. Here are a few myths about SIP that we would like to demolish, so that you may use SIPs more effectively and build wealth optimally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Myth 1: SIP is only for the short term<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is the most common myth about SIP investing, especially when it comes to SIPs in equity funds. Many of us are willing to commit regular sums for investing in PPF and insurance policies, or for repaying the housing loan. But we are quite cynical about committing a regular sum in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/topmutualFund1.do \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mutual fund<\/a> SIP, especially in equities. Many of us consider equity investments for short term and debt investments for long term.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, it should be vice versa. Why? Simple &#8211; debt products generate good returns for you only in favourable or high interest rate cycles. However, equities generate returns when they traverse across up and down market cycles \u2013 providing you opportunities to buy cheaper in down cycles and generate wealth in up cycles. SIPs, by their very nature, help you navigate these market cycles by averaging costs.<\/p>\n<p>In the short term, SIP equity returns may be negative due to temporary market corrections. But that is when your SIP is actually doing the job of cost averaging. By interrupting it, you do not allow it to work well for you. Hence, make sure you run your SIP for the long term \u2013 across at least one down market cycle and up cycle to take advantage of the market volatility.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-highlight\" style=\"clear: both; background: #ff6600; border: none; width: 60%; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\" https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/sip-funds.do?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold;\">Start an SIP Now! <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong>Myth 2: SIP is for small investments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SIP means investing small sums. Hence, SIP is for the \u2018small investor\u2019 is the notion about SIPs. Even recurring deposits in banks allow you to invest small sums. Does that make it an \u2018aam aadmi\u2019 product?<\/p>\n<p>SIP is meant to be a vehicle for disciplined, regular, long-term investment on an auto pilot mode. It is meant to average rupee costs and provide an opportunity for all \u2013 those with limited as well as high savings \u2013 to participate in smart investment options.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you invest Rs 1,000 a month or Rs 10,000 a month, rupee cost averaging works alike for all. You buy through ups and downs using an SIP, whether you are a small retail investor or a High Net-worth Individual (HNI).<\/p>\n<p>Many HNIs in fact, are known to prefer the SIP route compared with lump sum investments. Whether it is a small or big sum, by investing regularly, you will reap the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/sip-funds.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SIPs<\/a> in the long term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Myth 3: My SIP returns on an absolute basis is low<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many investors look at the absolute returns on their SIP investment. They ignore the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) of their investments. Generally, in a short term SIP, the absolute return tends to look lower than the IRR or Compounded Annualised Growth Rate (CAGR) returns.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, let us assume, you have invested monthly Rs 1,000 in an equity fund for 36 months. At the end of 36 months, you have redeemed Rs 45,000 from your investment. Your absolute return on your investment is 25% ((45000-36000)\/36000).<\/p>\n<p>However, if you calculate the IRR using an Excel sheet, you will find it has generated about 14% IRR (annualised yield) for the last 3 years.<\/p>\n<p>Why is IRR a better way of looking at your return, especially when you are comparing it across other asset class yields? Because in an SIP, you do not make all your investments at one go. You invest at various points in time. Hence, there is no one point-to-point annualised return. The returns, taking into account the varying times of investment is better captured using IRR.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Myth 4: I can time the market better<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, perhaps you can. But can you do that every time? Moreover, if many people could do that, then there would not be many market opportunities in the first place. Besides, there are so many extraneous factors that always belie even the top investment gurus.<br \/>\nDue to multiple known and unknown factors, market fluctuates at various levels and exhibiting volatility. These market fluctuations are harder to predict by most of the investors. It is the time in the market that matters, not timing the market. Hence, if you come to terms that you cannot always time the market, you would simply run an SIP and allow your SIP to time your investments well for you. And that too, even while on an auto-pilot mode! Of course, nothing prevents you from adding to these SIPs with occasional lump sums.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Myth 5: I should not start\/continue SIPs at high market levels <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many of you may be hesitant of starting an SIP after markets run up a bit \u2013 as is the case now. Some of you may even want to stop your SIPs because you do not want your SIPs to be buying units at \u2018higher\u2019 NAVs.<\/p>\n<p>If SIPs were all about the need to do away with timing the market, why would you worry again about the timing?<\/p>\n<p>SIPs have nothing to do with \u2018when you start?\u2019 It is all about \u2018how much time\u2019 you have.<\/p>\n<p>If you have time on your side, you can start your SIP at any market level. After all, by starting your SIP, you are only investing one instalment of your long term SIP. You would not know the market behaviour during the rest of the tenure of your instalments. Markets may trend higher or lower over the course of your SIP.<\/p>\n<p>If you did not make a start and markets moved higher, that simply means you did not take up the chance to invest at lower levels, isn\u2019t it? Hence, ignore the market levels and stay invested for a longer term to reap the benefits of averaging.<\/p>\n<p>There are many more myths on the misunderstood ideas about SIPs that keep away investors from this smart investment mode. More myth busters will follow in a future article.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, happy festivities! Make a bright beginning with an SIP now!<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"width:90%; margin:auto\">\n<div style=\"float:left; background: #ff6600; border-radius:5px; padding:10px; width:40%; border: none; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a\nstyle=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\" https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/sip-funds.do?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=referral\"\ntarget=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold;\">Start an SIP Now!<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"float:right; background: #ff6600; width:40%; padding:10px;  border-radius:5px; border: none; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\">\n<a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/advisor\/AdvisorAppointmentAction.do?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=referral\"\n\ntarget=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold;\">Talk to an Advisor <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is now a word that has caught on in the investing world.
