A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method of investing a fixed amount at regular intervals into a mutual fund scheme. It can support disciplined investing, but it does not guarantee returns.
Why the distinction matters
Financial products can look similar on the surface while having very different liquidity, risk, cost, tax and legal characteristics. A useful first step is to understand the product before considering whether it fits a particular goal.
Questions to ask
- What is the purpose of the product?
- What are the main risks and what could cause a loss?
- How liquid is the investment or facility?
- What fees, spreads, taxes or other costs apply?
- What are the eligibility, lock-in or exit conditions?
- What official product documents should be reviewed?
