  Sip or Buying a DIP? Which is better? Investors have access to a wide range of tactics and methods for investing in the financial markets. The SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) and the DIP (Buying the Dip) are two widely used techniques. The decision between the two tactics depends on a number of elements, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. With a focus on the setting of SIP investment in Nagpur, India, and the function of a financial advisor or investment planner in Nagpur, we will examine the contrasts and advantages of each technique in this article. Let's start by discussing SIP investments. A SIP is an investment strategy in which a person makes fixed investments in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) at predetermined periods, generally monthly or quarterly. The rupee cost averaging that SIP provides is its main benefit. The impact of market volatility is reduced because the investment is spread out over time. By using a systematic approach, investor...

How simple is it selecting the best funds from approximately 40 mutual funds and hundreds of schemes? It’s certainly not simple. Suppose we’re choosing a few. Is those funds going to be the best? Not Sure. So how do we select the best funds in this challenging and uncertain task? Therefore, don’t go to the Best. Select the right thing for you. Let’s see an instance for a better understanding of things. Consider that you went for Apparels shopping. You’re not just choosing what looks great. First, you’re looking for what kind of clothes you need. Whether formal or casual. You then choose your size. Then you see the one that looks best. The question then is whether or not the pricing is justified. Finally, you’re going for the one that’s right for you. This is how you’re shopping for the correct thing for you. The choice of the fund should be based on your goals, time horizon, risk appetite that informs you what asset allocation and categories to look for and then selec...

In most urban middle-class households with children schooling has become a major cost head. Personal finance experts quickly point out that while schools are more costly than they were 20 years ago, daily salaries are enough to pay for schooling. The problem is to fund university research, usually postgraduate research or master’s. Although a large number of parents are conscious of the need to build a corpus for education, it is difficult for most parents to assess the cost of education for children. Two considerations make it difficult to quantify – firstly, it is a long-term goal and secondly, it does not know which path the child will select. “It is all about assumptions now. So you should be focussing on what you can afford now,” says Pankaj Mathpal , founder and CEO of Optima Money Managers. For example, if you think an engineering degree is a minimum you would be willing to pay for, start with it. If it costs Rs 10 lakh, then apply inflation to it. “Education costs in I...

A systematic investment plan (SIP) is an investment option provided to investors by many mutual funds, enabling them to invest small amounts on a regular basis, rather than lump sums. Investment level typically occurs regularly, monthly, or quarterly. Through SIPs, investors regularly debit a fixed sum of money through bank accounts and invest in a specified mutual fund. A number of units are assigned to the investor according to the present Net Asset value. Every time an amount is spent, the investors account earns more units. The strategy promises to free the investors by dollar-cost average from speculating on volatile markets. Since the buyer gets more units when the price is low, and fewer units when the price is high, the average cost per unit will be lower in the long run.  SIP appears to be encouraging responsible investment. SIPs are flexible; investors can stop investing in a plan at any time, or choose to increase or decrease the amount of investment. Retail invest...

Women today are more socially motivated and work hand in hand with their husbands to meet their needs and give their children a better future. Over two-thirds of India’s women are family breadwinners or co-breadwinners. But they are able to let the men in the family take over when it comes to their financial planning. Unfortunately, as far as the house ladies are concerned, the attitude towards money is still pretty much the same as it was decades ago. Working women need to know that if they share all other family responsibilities, they also need to come up with some smart financial planning that can help them protect their lives against uncertainties that can affect their financial status. In all facets of life, women have broken barriers-whether it’s the glass ceiling in the corporate world or international records in various sectors. In terms of investment, however, women in India have been rather hesitant to deviate from conventional forms of investment such as gold and bank...

For our body’s overall growth and health, we need to eat a balanced diet. To keep yourself healthy and fit, our body needs different nutrients and one type of food can not provide all the nutrients it needs. Therefore, to sustain our body we have to eat different kinds of food in the right proportion. Each nutrient has a unique role to play in our body’s wellbeing (e.g. carbohydrates give us instant energy while proteins help in tissue growth and repair). Similarly, to ensure our financial wellbeing we need a balanced investment portfolio in life. We need a mix of different kinds of assets within the portfolio that play different roles, like the different nutrients in our diet.

There have been few developments in the last two years that have given direction to  the mutual fund schemes. It could be the re-categorization of mutual fund schemes by SEBI, the downward trend in midcap funds and small cap funds, to name a few. Mutual funds via SIP, following several such shifts, have always compensated investors in the medium to long term. There are several benefits of investing in mutual fund schemes by SIP. Mid Cap Mutual Funds A mid-cap fund is a pooled investment vehicle (e.g. a mutual fund or ETF) that primarily invests in mid-cap companies ‘ stocks, or firms with market capitalizations ranging from around $2 billion to $10 billion.

Classifications such as large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap companies are only approximations and may change over time. Mid-cap funds provide investors with a diverse portfolio of mid-cap firms.

“Compound interest is the 8 th wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it and he who doesn’t pays it.” – Albert Einstein   Power of Compounding Albert Einstein rightly said that the world's 8th wonder is compound interest. Compounding is a very strong concept. This is because you still earn interest on the interest of your invested money. The investment value continues to grow at a geometric (always increasing) level than at an arithmetic (straight-line) rate. Over a period of time, the capital continues to accumulate. Compounding is also a phenomenon of a long-term existence. And in the long run, I mean 15-30 years. Investing early is as important as investing wisely. Just a small amount can quickly increase your earnings. Let's see how you can earn Rs 10 Cr from an Rs 15 K investment. 15*15*15 Rule Rs 15,000 SIP will give you the return of Rs 1 Crore at maturity at an estimated 15 percent CAGR for 15 years.

Stock Mutual Funds Stock mutual funds are like a middleman between you and stocks(also known as equity mutual funds): they pool shareholder money and invest it in a number of different companies.

It makes mutual funds perfect for investors who don't want to spend much time studying and handling an individual stock portfolio — a mutual fund works for you. A simple portfolio of investments may include as few as two mutual funds. ➢ Need guidance?
