What is a SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly in mutual funds. Instead of investing a lump sum, you invest monthly โ€” which averages out market volatility through rupee cost averaging.

How is SIP Return Calculated?

SIP returns use the future value of an annuity formula: FV = P ร— (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ร— (1 + r), where P is monthly investment, r is the monthly rate of return (annual rate / 12), and n is total months.
