Getting the full benefits of SIP with the expertise of a financial advisor

by Finway FSC Empowering People Financially

Healthy wealth benefits take time to multiply and those coming together in a short span of time are just false attractions. This is when the idea of getting systematic with the investments enters the scene and gives birth to Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) that assists the people in step-by-step monthly or quarterly investment for a period of time in any mutual fund scheme, thereby benefitting one with the power of compounding. But, investment without taking the advice of a financial advisor can be risky as well as unproductive. That’s why every investment advisor in India asks to investors that what they know about SIP. Is it a medium only to invest in mutual funds?

In fact, there’s nothing like good or bad SIPs, but an investment advisor in India guides his customers to select the best possible mutual fund schemes for investment, where SIPs may adequately accumulate wealth for long-term financial goals. So, deciding on the mutual fund schemes to invest in is a crucial step to reap out the best benefits from SIPs and it should be taken after the consultation with an expert financial/investment advisor.

Usually, people suggest thatshould investors go to the mutual fund ratings to check credibility. But as per the opinion of financial or investment advisor, the fact is, the ratings are covering only half the part of the picture related to quantitative parameters such as returns, risk average AUM, etc. The problem arises when the other half is not at all taken into consideration, i.e., ignoring the qualitative parameters. Besides, ratings work on a ‘one fits all’ approach that doesn’t apply to the real-life scenarios as an investment and financial planning are personalized activities and differ from person to person. Ratings can surely serve as starting points for identifying the characteristic features of the investment-worthy funds, but solely depending on them nothing beneficial can be guaranteed. So, if you are living in a metropolitan city of India such as Delhi or Mumbai, then always take the help from an expert investment advisor before making any conclusion. 

Hence, to reap great benefits from the investments made in mutual funds it’s advised to go for the ‘Direct Plans’ over the ‘Regular Plans’. These plans  The aforementioned points clearly indicate that while above when you invest in mutual funds make it a point to opt for the ‘Direct Plans’ over ‘Regular Plan’. Its due to their lower costs mainly the expense ratio, that Direct Plans are able to generate around generate 0.5% to 1.0% additional returns every year. With direct plans, the services of a mutual fund distributor/agent/relationship manager get eliminated and the transactions get done either through online modes or by visiting the registrar’s or the asset management company’s office in person. This won’t sound big at first, but these small savings harvest rich rewards in long-term.
