In India, systemic investment plans, or SIPs, are growing in popularity. There is a consistent trend in data from the Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI) indicating that SIPs are becoming more popular than lump sum investments. By investing a set amount regularly, SIPs enable you to buy more units during bear markets and fewer during bull ones, lowering the average cost over time. 

SIPs also encourage financial discipline by automating the process of making investments. Crucially, SIPs can be started with small sums of money, accommodating a range of income levels. Compounding returns have the potential to significantly increase your investment over time.

Over the last 10 years, some mutual funds have shown higher annualized SIP returns (XIRR). For those who do not know, the most accurate way to measure the returns on SIP investments is to use the XIRR. Compared to traditional return calculations, it is a superior metric because it accounts for the irregular cash flows that are typical of SIPs. A lot of mutual funds show off their 10-year XIRR performance to highlight the long-term benefits of systematic SIP investing.
