About Top-Up SIP

SIP is one of the popular ways of investing in mutual funds. SIP mutual fund plan is a disciplined investment plan that helps an investor reduce the negative impact of market fluctuations on his portfolio. It is a well-known rule with the SIP investment that an investor receives more number of units when the market is low and less when the markets are high. Hence, today, investors want to invest in a mutual fund when the market is low. The concept of Top-Up SIP is simply to invest higher amounts periodically thereby creating a discipline of investing higher amounts to beat inflation and help an investor increase his investment portfolio with miss rising incomes.

What is Top-Up SIP?
A Top-Up SIP allows an investor to alter his SIP instalments when the markets are trading lower. Thus, a Top-Up SIP helps an investor invest more and get higher returns.

Example: Investor sets up a SIP from May 01 for Rs. 5000/- At the same time can choose to increase future SIP investments after every quarter or half yearly or yearly by either a fixed amount, say Rs. 100/- or by a set percentage '%' increase, say 10%.

Just like the traditional SIP plan, a Top-Up SIP plan allows an investor to decide the tenure and the amount of investment.
