Financial Planning

There are several ways in which an investor can take exposure to equities. Investors can either choose to go direct by investing directly into stocks or can opt to invest through an equity mutual fund. Over the past few years, systematic investing into equity mutual funds via Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) has been gaining traction. Investors today are opting to be disciplined in their investments, which is an encouraging sign for creating a thriving equity culture among the masses. Of late, as the markets have become volatile, some investors are having second thoughts about their SIPs. Many, in the anticipation of a correction, are stopping SIPs which is an erroneous move.
