Why SIP works?

This disciplined approach helps grow wealth over time and averages your investment cost.

Keep time on your side

But how long is long enough?

[{"selector":"#anim-505b23f1-b187-4a43-8d53-1b5c80ba992a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c528f1ea-418e-4064-a5cf-721316e82ef9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 190.95607%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] For zero risk of loss, a SIP should last more than three years. Any shorter period and you might be gambling with your money.
