As India is gearing up to celebrate its 77th Independence Day, we, as Indians, have a moral responsibility to take charge of our futures. We have the obligation or kartavya to take things into our own hands and embark on a journey towards financial independence and growth.
But how would someone do so? The secret sauce you might have yet to learn or consider would be to invest your money into this magical investment option called SIP.
How does SIP work?
SIPs or Systematic Investment Plans are a way of periodically investing a set sum of money into Mutual Funds. SIP is typically done for a small amount of money every month or quarterly rather than a lump sum amount.
The low-risk and low-cost nature of SIPs makes them particularly popular among new investors who wish to start earning money and consistently generate wealth and seasoned investors who want to diversify their portfolio and not put all their eggs in one basket.
