HDFC: Systematic Investment Plan

HDFC MF SIP is similar to a Recurring Deposit. Every month on a specified date an amount you choose is invested in a mutual fund scheme of your choice. The dates currently available for SIPs are the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and the 25th of a month. You�ll be amazed to learn about the many benefits of investing through HDFC MF SIP.

Benefit 1
Become A Disciplined Invester

Being disciplined - It�s the key to investing success. With the HDFC MF Systematic Investment Plan you commit an amount of your choice (minimum of Rs. 1000 and in multiples of Rs. 100 thereof*) to be invested every month in one of our schemes.

Think of each SIP payment as laying a brick. One by one, you�ll see them transform into a building. You�ll see your investments accrue month after month. It�s as simple as giving at least 6 postdated monthly cheques to us for a fixed amount in a scheme of your choice. It�s the perfect solution for irregular investors.

Benefit 2
Reach Your Financial Goal

Imagine you want to buy a car a year from now, but you don�t know where the down-payment will come from. HDFC MF SIP is a perfect tool for people who have a specific, future financial requirement. By investing an amount of your choice every month, you can plan for and meet financial goals, like funds for a child�s education, a marriage in the family or a comfortable postretirement life.

Benefit 3
Take Advantage of Rupee Cost Averaging

Most investors want to buy stocks when the prices are low and sell them when prices are high. But timing the market is timeconsuming and risky. A more successful investment strategy is to adopt the method called Rupee Cost Averaging. To illustrate this we�ll compare investing the identical amounts through a SIP and in one lump sum.

Imagine Suresh invests Rs. 1000 every month in an equity mutual fund scheme starting in January. His friend, Rajesh, invests Rs. 12000 in one lump sum in the same scheme.

Benefit 4
Do All This Effortlessly

Investing with HDFC MF SIP is easy. Simply give us post-dated cheques or opt for an Auto Debit from your bank account for an amount of your choice (minimum of Rs. 1000 and in multiples of Rs. 100 thereof*) and we�ll invest the money every month in a fund of your choice. The plans are completely flexible. You can invest for a minimum of six months, or for as long as you want. You can also decide to invest quarterly and will need to invest for a minimum of two quarters.
