What is SIP ?
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method that allows individuals to regularly invest a fixed amount in a mutual fund scheme, such as monthly or quarterly, instead of a lumpsum. This method encourages disciplined savings and makes investing more manageable, while regular contributions help you benefit from market growth and build wealth over time.
Power of Starting SIP Early
The earlier you start, the greater your potential returns. Take a look at the example to see how starting early can significantly impact your investment growth.
Suppose you start investing ₹10,000 monthly through SIP at an age of 35 till the age of 60, and you are expecting a return of 12%. Now, let’s see how this differs if you had started the same investment early at an age of 25 till the age of 60.
| Age | Monthly Investment | Tenure (in Yrs) | Invested Amount | Estimated Returns |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | ₹10,000 | 35 | ₹42 lakh | ₹6.08 crore |
| 35 | ₹10,000 | 25 | ₹30 lakh | ₹1.06 crore |
Investing ₹10,000 per month for 25 years can grow to approximately ₹1.06 crore. However, if you start 10 years earlier, the same investment can yield around ₹6.08 crore in returns.
Disclaimer: * Based on an assumed rate of return(s) of 12%, the above Investment calculation is for illustration purpose only. It should not be construed as a promise on minimum returns and safeguard of capital. KMAMC is not guaranteeing or promising, or forecasting any returns.

Benefits of Investing in SIP Mutual Funds
Take a look at the benefits of investing in SIP mutual funds.
Power of Compounding
The small regular investments may grow into a substantial corpus through your contributions and compounded returns. The power of compounding helps you earn interest on both your initial investment and the interest it has already earned, accelerating your returns.
Disciplined Investment Approach
Unlike lumpsum investments, which require market knowledge, SIPs eliminate the need for constant market analysis. They promote financial discipline through regular and consistent investments.
Rupee Cost Averaging
SIPs reduce market volatility impact through rupee cost averaging, where you buy more units when prices are low and fewer when prices are high. This balances your overall investment cost over time.
Flexibility and Convenience
SIPs provide a flexible investment approach, allowing investors to adjust their contributions based on their financial goals. This helps tailor investments to match individual risk profiles and preferences.
