Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is one of the best ways to inculcate the discipline of investing regularly. It also comes with the benefit of rupee cost averaging. When the markets soar, a SIP investor ends up buying fewer units at higher Net Asset Value (NAV) and when the markets turn sombre, more units are bought at lower NAVs, thereby averaging it out. Trailing three-year annualized SIP returns stood at 18.6%. In this post, we have listed the top 10 equity mutual funds for SIP.
