Re: Investing in MFs through SIP..!

Hi experts,

I am 31yrs old and planning to start investing in MFs through SIPs for
next 15-20yrs to generate a corpus of 2Cr for my retirement.
I have a few questions. Please help me in with this

1) Is it safe to start investing in MFs through SIP at this time when the market is heading to the floor?
2) Is there a general criteria which i must use while selecting the MFs? Any thumb rules?
3) What amount should i start with initially? and how much should i invest so that i achieve my target?

Thanks,
Rao
Hi!

Usually, all the Mutual Funds offer time based SIP. They usually collect post-dated cheques for certain periods. All the cheques are drawn on a particular date of your choice such as 1st of each month, or 5th or 10th. Whatever.

For equity based Funds, Net Asset Value [or NAV] is calculated each day, based on the value of the stocks in the portfolio of that fund. Each day, these NAVs are available in many newspapers too.

If the equity based Fund is selected by you, irrespective of the conditions and trend of the stock markets, the units would be credited to your account.

However.!

If you intend to be on this Forum, you could follow a different SIP of your choice.

First, never put all your eggs in a single basket. So, you need to know more about the funds. Check at valueresearchonline dot com, for all the types of funds available, with their history.

Choose different fund houses for different type of funds.

Then keep your eyes on the market, which is cyclic. Once each month, the monthly bottom is reached. Buy units around this day, when the NAV is the lowest for the month.

Keep doing this each month, to get almost the lowest NAV for every month.

With this little extra effort from your side, you could get reasonably high returns.

But what if you keep forgetting..? In that case, you would better opt for the regular SIP offered by any Fund of your choice.

Cheers, Good Luck and Happy Diwali

Re: SIP or Lumpsum investment ???

Hi Friends,

I am a NRI. I want to invest in Mutual Funds and I have about 10 lakhs with me.
Now the confusion is "Should I go for SIP or a one time investment?"
I have read in many articles by experts that SIP is the best way to invest in MFs.
However, in my case I have this 10 lacs ready and would like to make the most out of it.
My question is which is more beneficial - "Investing the whole amount now or divide this amount and invest regularly in a SIP? "
Can anyone explain this using examples? Please.

Hi
A simple hand-written request may be submitted at CAMS for this job. Remember, most of the AMCs take 3-4 wks processing time to honour ur requst.

Hi,

Now my total portfolio is down by 30% till date

I am now really confused. Should I switch to Large cap funds or continue these SIPs? or should I change any of these funds to better schemes?

For short term 3-5 years which I bought online from March2008 to September 2008.

DSPBR Top 100
