Let’s see what the advantages of using a stock SIP.

What is a Stock SIP?

By using a Stock SIP (Systematic Investment Plan in Stocks), investors invest a fixed amount or purchase a fixed number of shares of selected companies at regular intervals, like monthly, weekly, or quarterly. If they remain invested for a long period, like 5 years, 10 years, or 15 years, they will get good appreciation on their investment. Stock SIP investment reduces the risk of buying stocks at a high price.

It is always risky to invest a large sum in one stroke. Instead, you can distribute your investments in 5 to 10 installments and invest them monthly to get the advantage of the average price.

For example, suppose you have to invest Rs. 50,000 in the stocks of Infosys. You can choose to invest Rs. 5,000 every month in shares of Infosys. You can keep buying these shares regularly, regardless of market fluctuations. This will average out your purchase price.

How Does Stock SIP Work?

Here’s a simple example to understand how Stock SIPs work.

Suppose you start a Stock SIP of ₹5,000 per month in INFOSYS from Jan 25.

• In the first month, the share price is Rs 1,000/- → You will get 5 shares.
• In February, the price drops to Rs. 8,00/- → You will get 6.25 shares.
• In March, the price rises to Rs. 7,50/- → You will get 6.66 shares.
• In April, the price jumped to Rs. 1,100/- — You will get 4.45 Shares

So the investor invests Rs. 20,000 in 4 months, and his money gets invested in 22.36 nos. shares @ 894/-.

Over a long period, investor purchase shares at different prices and accumulate them in their portfolio. Thus, the Investor gets the advantage of Rupee Cost Averaging, which averages out their cost per share and reduces the impact of short-term market volatility.

Advantages of Stock SIP in the Indian Stock Market

Stock SIP is becoming increasingly popular among investors for the following reasons.

It encourages financial discipline among investors. Regular investment of a small fixed amount is done in the stock market. A consistent saving habit is developed in an investor. There is no worry about the ups and downs of the share market price. Purchase price is automatically averaged out. There is less impact of the short-term ups and downs of the market.

Nobody can time market perfectly. Even expert investors make mistakes in their predictions. Stock SIP removes this worry about the timing of the market. The investor keeps investing regularly in the Bull and Bear phases. In the long run, he has benefited from it. The investor gets a reward of long-term capital appreciation.

The stock price of shares keeps changing continuously. Investors in a Stock SIP make their investment regularly at fixed intervals. Their purchasing is made at low and high prices. This averages out their purchase cost. This reduces the market risk. Increases the chances of a potential high profit.

The power of compounding is the 8th wonder of the world. The more time you invest, the greater the return and the lower the risk in the stock market. You can generate wealth if you remain invested for more than 5 years. But the real wealth is created and accumulated if you remain invested for 10 to 15 years in fundamentally strong companies. It is an easy and safe way of building long-term wealth creation for investors.

You are in full control of your investment. You can increase or decrease the amount at any time. You can change the time duration according to your needs. You can choose the stocks of your choice for a stock SIP. You can stop or exit at any time. There are no additional charges, like exit load you have to pay. You can track the performance in real time.

In Stock SIP, you are directly purchasing the shares without any mediator. All shares are getting accumulated directly in your Demat Account. This gives direct ownership to the investor. Investors become eligible for dividends, bonus shares, and voting rights, which mutual fund investors don’t get directly.
