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.

Comprises purchase of a Nifty call and put option of the same strike price. Usually strikes are purchased closer to the level of the underlying index. 2. What is better ­ buying or selling a straddle? It depends.Implied volatili ty of options, or near-term expectations of price swings in an un derlier like Nifty , usually peaks before an event and falls when the outcome plays out ­ like Infy re sults in past years.

Stocks with a high dividend yield

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Stocks with a high-dividend yield can provide investors additional cash flow. More importantly, it is tax-free   With April 2011 just over, the 'earnings season' is well and truly here. This is the time most companies pay out a portion of their profits as dividends to shareholders. Since dividends are tax-free, they are an attractive income source with a select class of investors, who depend on these for additional cash flow. SIGNIFICANCE A company doing well and generating profits will usually be in a position to declare dividends regularly. Hence, a key parameter one should look at whilst investing in a stock is whether the company has a good dividend record. Typically, dividend yield stocks are large-caps and generally not capital-intensive. This is suggestive of the fact that the downside risk on...
