Frequently asked questions
What is SIP?
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a way of investing a fixed amount in a mutual fund scheme at regular intervals, such as every month. It is a method of investing, not a product, and it does not guarantee any return.
What is NAV?
NAV (Net Asset Value) is the price of one unit of a scheme. It is the scheme net assets after expenses divided by the number of units, declared on business days. A low NAV does not mean a fund is cheap or better.
Are mutual funds safe?
Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, and the value can go up or down. Different schemes carry different levels of risk, so read the scheme documents carefully before investing.
