- Monthly Investment Plan
A Monthly Investment Plan (MIP) allows you to grow your wealth gradually by buying units of mutual fund on a given date each month. You can take advantage of Dollar Cost Averaging by buying fewer units when the price is high and more units when the price is low. Investing a fixed amount every month over a period of time manages market risks and fluctuations and allows you to benefit over time.
Below illustration shows you the benefits of Dollar Cost Averaging.
Assuming you invested a lump sum of $1,000 in Month 1 and $200 every month into a MIP for 5 months. The average unit cost of MIP is lower than lump sum investment.
