Types of SIP?

• Flexible SIP
  Flexible SIP is one of the most common types of SIPs in the market. The investor can increase or decrease the amount of SIP easily based on the availability of funds.
• Perpetual SIP
  Perpetual SIP, as the name suggests, is when the SIP is started without mentioning any end date. While starting a SIP, the investor has to mention the start date and the end date. If the end date is not mentioned, the sip will continue till the time the investor expressly requests to terminate such SIP.
• Trigger SIP
  SIP in this case is dependent on certain factors that would trigger an upwards or downwards effect in any SIP. Such triggers can be the level of NAV or index level or other similar factors.
• Step-Up SIP
  Step-up investment is another form of SIPs where the investor can increase the amount of SIP on a periodic basis. This increase can be set annually or half-yearly or at the discretion of the investor. The SIP will then increase by the amount fixed at the set level. Such SIP provides the chance of increasing the investment of the investors with the increase in their income levels. 

Advantages of Systematic Investment Plan:

Rupee cost averaging:
The most effective way of investing in mutual funds is investing when the markets are low and redeeming the units when the markets are on a high. Investors have the possibility to earn high returns in such cases.

Compounding power:
The advantage of compounding is best gained through SIP. The returns get reinvested and it will benefit in getting more units for the investor. SIPs are, thus, best suited to investors that plan to stay invested for the long term.
