Which is the Best Date for SIP?

Over the last few years, Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) has become a household name. Once the amount and time frame to invest has bee decided by the investor, the next important question comes to his mind - Which is the best date for SIP, so that he can maximize the returns.

Recently WhiteOak Capital Mutual Fund conducted a study, to address this important question.

Best SIP Date - Start of the month, End of the month - during Derivative expiry where markets tend to be volatile or Middle of the month? Or splitting the SIP amount into multiple dates?

An historical study of the BSE Sensex data since 1996 to 2023, suggests that there is no meaningful difference between the average returns of different dates.

Another study on on SIP frequency shows that, whether it is Daily, Weekly or Monthly the returns are similar.

In short, it doesn't matter which date or frequency is selected, SIP which is started early, invested regularly and invested for long term takes you to the destination or your goal.

We all know Mutual Funds, but what are inverse ETFs or Inverse Mutual Funds all about? They are a special type of funds in which the value goes up when the stock market comes down. They are nothing but "short funds" or ETFs - funds having short positions of the index or stocks. By investing in this fund investors/traders can take advantage of fall in the markets. The main objective of the such products is to provide investors with an alternative during market-decline and in the case where they cannot short sell the index. This type of fund is generally linked to the market index such as the Nifty 50 Total Returns Inverse Index. The value of such funds change similar to the traditional funds, on a daily basis, say if the index declines by 1 percent in a day, the fund value increases by 1 percent for that day. How does these funds benefit retail investors or traders? Many investors,rather traders, can make use of this type of fund as a hedge against market conditions.Hedg
