You're doing SIPs - But are you doing it smartly?

SIBY JEYYA
Systematic investment plans, or SIPs, are now the most popular method for gradually increasing wealth. You may start with as little as a few hundred rupees every month, and it's simple, straightforward, and doesn't require a large initial commitment.
 
SIPs are a fantastic way to increase your money, but there is another approach that can yield even higher returns. By adjusting the amount and timing of your contributions, a clever SIP method helps you maximize your returns and makes your SIP plan even more effective.
 
To make a better decision, let's examine how normal SIP and smart SIP interact.
 

Regular SIP
 
With a regular SIP, you may easily build up your desired corpus over time without worrying about market swings by contributing a set amount each month or at your preferred interval. This is the traditional method.
Regular SIPs, however, do not consider fluctuations in your discretionary income. Your SIP amount remains constant as your job and income improve, which suggests you may not be making the most of your expanded financial potential to accumulate wealth.

Smart SIP


This is where the two smart SIP ideas are useful.
 
Step-up SIP: The goal of the step-up SIP strategy is to progressively increase your investment amount by your financial development. You increase your SIP by a specific percentage annually using this strategy. Let's say your monthly income is Rs 5,000. With a 10 percent increase in the second year, that sum rises to Rs 5,500, and so on. By matching your SIP to your yearly salary growth, this technique helps you enhance your wealth more quickly by putting your increased disposable income to work.

Trigger SIP


Trigger SIPs profit from particular market occurrences that call for a somewhat more strategic approach. This approach enables you to make extra investments in response to certain market events, such as a five percent or ten percent decline, for instance. Long-term gains can be increased by lowering your average cost by purchasing more units when costs are low. However, this strategy is more appropriate for investors who are at ease with market tracking because it necessitates a careful observation of market fluctuations.
