Choose Step-up SIP to gain more wealth than conventional SIPs

There is no doubt about Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is one of the best ways to invest our money systematically. It inculcates two very important principles of financial investing—discipline and long-term approach.

SIP has become the most popular investment tool for investing in Mutual Funds in the last decade because it helps us to invest small amounts every month and build substantial wealth over the long term. Not only that, but it also helps us in achieving various financial goals like retirement, child’s education and marriage, buying a house, car, etc.

There is no denying that SIP is the best investment tool and has done well for us. It has helped people build their wealth in the long term and not many people have complaints with regular SIPs as they have learned that they will be able to reap the fruits if they invest for the long term in the SIP.

Why opt for Step-up SIP?

A traditional SIP is good, but it can be made even better if it is increased every year to deal with inflation.

Our income increases year after year, so do our expenses; then why we should not increase our financial investments?

Many of us plan to increase the SIP amount every time we get an increment, but in reality, most of the people fail to do so.

Also, starting afresh SIP every year and managing the portfolio consisting of multiple schemes/folios will become a cumbersome job.

This is where Step up SIP comes into the picture. Step up facilitates an automatic increase in the SIP amount by a fixed amount at a predefined period.
