  3. No need to worry about market volatility:  Investors receive more units when the NAV of a mutual funds fall and less units when NAV of mutual funds rise. Therefore, over a long period of time the cost of units to investors will be significantly lower despite ups and downs. This phenomenon is called Rupee cost averaging.

  5. Offers diversification at small investment:  Investors can't diversify their portfolio with small investment surplus. But with mutual funds, they can get a diversified portfolio, even with investment of Rs 500.
  6. Professional management of investments:  Mutual funds are managed by knowledgeable and disciplined fund managers. Investors generally don't have in-depth knowledge of investing.

• What if I miss my SIP dates or don’t have sufficient money in my bank account?

  With auto-debit feature, firstly you don’t need to remember the debit dates as the bank account will get debited automatically on the date which you have selected for SIP. However, just in case for whatever reason the funds are not available in the bank account, you will miss one SIP. There is no penalty or any fee. Your SIP account remains active even if you miss one SIP date but after multiple misses, it gets cancelled.
