Investments in Equity Mutual Fund Schemes may be made in
two ways – lump sum investment or through SIP
(Systematic Investment Plan). In lump sum route, one may
invest through a single payment, whereas, under the SIP
mode, one may invest periodically (monthly, quarterly,
half-yearly or annually etc.) based on the scheme one
chooses to invest.
SIP is a process for a disciplined investment of a
certain on a pre-decided date in a specific mutual fund
scheme, regularly over a period of time.
