Notes

Suppose, one does not want to invest a big amount at once, then one could invest small amounts at regular time intervals e.g. Rs. 500 per month could be invested in mutual fund. Investment could be done monthly or quarterly. This
way of investment is called SIP. SIP develops discipline of savings. SIP is a good option which in long term can achieve  one's financial goals. Investment in mutual funds through SIP for a long term is beneficial. It protects investor from market fluctuations. One should invest in mutual fund for minimum of 3 to 5 years to get better returns and it is best if investment is for 10 to 15 years.
