Similarly, let us look some of the Top Systematic Investment Plans in Equity Funds which have given consistent returns over the past few years.

Why invest through SIP?

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) a good plan offered by mutual funds to help you save systematically and regularly.  SIP makes you to take part in the equity markets without trying to second-guess its movements and  one need not worry too much about ups and downs of the markets.

So how the investments through SIP have performed?

As you see above, the returns are exceptionally good, if invested with a 3 to 5 year time frame. SIP makes you disciplined in your savings and to get the most out of it,  invest with a long term view. Also the advantages of investing in mutual funds are many like,  no-entry-load, SIP amount as low as Rs.500 ( even Rs.100 in some of the funds) and auto-debit from bank accounts.
