What is SIP?
Understand Systematic Investment Plans

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a simple and disciplined way to invest in mutual funds, where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals (monthly or quarterly) instead of investing a large amount at once.

SIP helps you build wealth gradually by investing consistently, making it one of the most preferred investment methods for beginners and long-term investors in India.

At Flowers Mutual Fund Distributors, we help investors start SIPs based on their income, goals, and risk profile.

SIPs are one of the simplest and safest ways to begin investing in mutual funds, regulated by SEBI and AMFI

How SIP Works

Choose a Mutual Fund Scheme

Select a fund based on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon

Decide the SIP Amount & Frequency

Based on your income and expenses, determine how much you can consistently invest. Decide how often you will invest (monthly, quarterly, etc.).

Automated Deductions & Units Allocation

Your chosen amount is deducted from your bank account and invested in the mutual fund. Investment amount is converted into mutual fund units, allocated to your account based on the current NAV

Track Performance

Over time, you can track the growth of your investments and adjust your SIP as needed

Example

: SIP Investment Explained

Suppose you invest ₹5,000 per month for 10 years:

  • Total Investment: ₹6,00,000

  • Expected annual return (approx.): 12%

  • Potential value after 10 years: ₹11–12 lakhs (approx.)

SIP vs Lump Sum Investment

Both SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) and Lump Sum investment are popular ways to invest in mutual funds. The right option depends on your income pattern, market conditions, and financial goals.

Feature SIP Investment Lump Sum Investment
Investment Style Small amount invested regularly (monthly/quarterly) One-time large investment
Market Timing Risk Lower risk due to rupee cost averaging Higher risk if invested at the wrong time
Ideal For Salaried individuals and long-term investors Investors with surplus funds
Minimum Amount Starts from ₹500 per month Usually higher initial amount required
Investment Discipline Encourages regular saving habit Requires self-discipline
Volatility Impact Market ups & downs are averaged over time Returns highly depend on entry point
Best Suited For Beginners & goal-based planning Experienced investors

👉 Tip: SIP is generally recommended for long-term goals, while lump sum works better when markets are reasonably valued.
