Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly/yearly) in mutual funds or index funds. It helps average out market volatility and builds wealth through disciplined investing, enforcing a "buy and hold" habit.

What is Compound Interest?

Compound interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest from previous periods. Often called "interest on interest", it is the primary engine behind exponential wealth growth over decades.

What is the difference between SIP and Lumpsum?

An SIP involves investing smaller amounts periodically, which reduces timing risk. A lumpsum investment means deploying a large amount of capital all at once, which can yield higher returns if the market goes up, but carries more risk if the market drops immediately after investing.
