Regardless of bullish, bearish or sideways market trends, mutual fund SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is such an investment tool that can be started anytime. According to tax and investment experts, for a medium to long-term SIP, an investor’s money gets averaged out at the time of redemption. So, chances of losing principal in medium to long-term mutual fund SIP investments are less. In fact, if chosen properly, one goes on to book robust gains on one’s mutual fund investment. SBI mutual funds — SBI Technology Opportunities Fund, SBI Focused Equity and SBI Magnum Equity ESG Fund — are glaring example of it. In the last 5 years, these SBI mutual funds have given stellar return to both onetime lump sum investors and SIP investors. These SBI mutual funds have not just beaten the rise in inflation in the last 5 years; they have beaten the returns given by fixed income instruments by a huge margin.
