An SIP, or Systematic Investment Plan, is an investment method by which mutual funds allow their investors to invest in a disciplined / systematic manner. By using the SIP facility, an investor can invest a fixed amount of money at predetermined intervals in a mutual fund scheme. The instalment amount can be as low as Rs.100, while the pre-defined SIP intervals can be daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Investing in SIP can be a time-bound manner and may provide an opportunity for investors to build their investment over the long term due to the power of compounding and average costing.
| Frequency under SIP Facility | Minimum Installments | Minimum SIP amount |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | 6 Installments | Rs. 100/- and in multiple of Re. 1/- |
| Weekly | 6 Installments | Rs. 100/- and in multiple of Re. 1/- |
| Monthly | 6 Installments | Rs. 100/- and in multiple of Re. 1/- |
| Yearly | 3 Installments | Rs. 12,000/- and in multiple of Re. 1/- |
While the minimum investment limit for Axis SIP investments is Rs.100, the maximum investment limit can vary depending on the scheme. For instance, Axis Small Cap Fund has an investment limit of Rs.1 Crore. Investors have the flexibility to invest in more than one SIP scheme at the same time and may adjust the investment amount according to their requirements.

Starting an SIP early in one’s career can be a strategic move. It allows the individual to accumulate a larger corpus over time due to the power of compounding. This approach also encourages disciplined investing, as a fixed amount is invested at regular intervals. Moreover, it can help in mitigating the impact of market volatility, as more units are purchased when prices are low and fewer units when prices are high. This strategy, known as rupee cost averaging, can be effective over the long term. Remember, the key to successful investing is not timing the market, but time spent in the market.
Let's consider an example of two friends, Amit and Ravi. Both were software engineers and earned a decent salary.
Amit started investing in the Sensex index at the age of 25 (04-04-1979) till 01-02-2024. Each month, he invested ₹5000, making a total investment of ₹26,80,000. By the time he stopped investing, the return he received was a staggering ₹ 20,75,17,690.
On the other hand, Ravi started investing at the age of 35 (03-04-1989) till 01-02-2024 in the Sensex index. He made the same monthly investment as Amit, but his total investment was ₹20,80,000. The return he received was ₹3,16,41,127.
Even though the difference in their total investment was just ₹6,00,000, the difference in their returns was a massive ₹ 17,58,76,563! This demonstrates the power of starting SIP early. It wasn't about timing the market, but time spent in the market. The earlier they started, the more time their investments had to grow. This example clearly shows that the power of compounding can lead to significant wealth creation over the long term. The key is to start investing early and stay invested.
Start your SIP today and take advantage of the potential benefits of compounding.
Goal-based SIP investment is a strategic approach where an individual aligns their investment with specific financial objectives. Whether it’s buying a house, funding higher education, or planning for retirement, goal-based investing can be an effective strategy. By determining the amount needed and the time horizon for each goal, one can decide the amount to be invested in the SIP. This method encourages disciplined and regular investing, which may contribute to an increase in the value of your investment over time. However, it’s important to note that all investments carry a level of risk and the value of investments can fluctuate. Always seek advice from a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
In essence, our Axis Mutual fund goal planning and tracking feature is not just the enhancement, it is a transformative shift towards more strategic, informed, tailored tools that help you towards holistic investment.
