Perpetual SIP - Its Advantages




Retail investors have taken a fancy to investing in mutual funds through systematic investment plans (SIPs). As per industry estimates, Rs 4,000 crore flows into SIPs every month. One way to take advantage of SIPs in a true long-term manner is to opt for a perpetual SIP

1. What is a perpetual SIP?

In an SIP , you make periodic investments in a mutual fund scheme of your choice generally every month for a pre defined tenure. While signing up an SIP mandate, you have the option to leave the end-date column blank. If the column is blank, it means the investor has opted for a perpetual SIP . Most fund houses assume this SIP will continue till December 2099 unless you give a written communication to stop it.

However, some fund houses require you to tick the `perpetual option'.

2. What are the advantages of perpetual SIPs?

Registering an SIP involves a lot of paperwork and it takes time.

It is observed that many investors skip their SIP instalments when they go for short-tenure options. Distributors point out that investors tend to delay renewals due to operational hassles and end up missing a few instalments. This affects the returns in the long term, breaks discipline, and prevents investors from meeting their financial goals. Perpetual SIPs help you maintain continuity .


3. Who should opt for a perpetual SIP?

A perpetual SIP is more beneficial for younger people. For ex ample, a 25-year-old can continue an SIP for at least 30-35 years without disturbing the investment flow. So, he could opt for a perpetual SIP. However, a 55-year-old working person would want to review his investments once he retires and may not necessarily want to opt for SIPs post retirement.


4. Are there any drawbacks of perpetual SIPs?

Performance of an equity fund could vary due to various reasons such as a sharp jump in corpus and change in fund manager. So, you may notice that at the time of selecting a scheme, the fund performance was good, but it dropped over a period of time. If you had enrolled in a perpetual SIP , you would invariably keep putting in more money , month after month, without realising that the performance of the scheme is deteriorating. In smaller-tenure SIPs, you should monitor performance before renewing the SIP mandate.

Stick to Good Fund Manager who Can Multiply Your Investment

A manager may be the difference between the best and worst funds. Here's how you can find the right one    Does a mutual fund manager make a difference to your investment? The answer may not be as easy as you think, since most best-performing mutual funds have moved away from individualistic fund management to process-driven methods, limiting the scope of an individual's role in investment decisions. In fact, many fund managers would speak at length about how the "system" their fund house has in place makes their task of picking stocks easy even though it restricts their freedom. Still, the question is important, especially after recent reports that the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi ) may ask fund managers to disclose to investors their track record of managing money. Let us take a look at the universe of large-cap funds over the past five years. According to Value Research, an independent mutual fund tracking firm, the topper in the category is DSP...
