Case Study – Systematic Investing
Little Drops of Water Make the Mighty Ocean

17. 17
Systematic Investment Plan
 Let’s take an example ……
 Anil is a businessman. He is married to Tina who is a
housewife. He has a son and daughter , both are in
school.
 Over next couple of years, he desires to follow a
savings plan to build wealth for his children’s
education/marriage and buy a bigger house.
 In order to hedge against uncertainties of business ,
he has been regularly investing in fixed income
instruments.

18. 18
 The lower interest rates over the years have been worrying
him.
 He decides to take the help of Sreeni , financial advisor.
 After carefully evaluating his financial goals and time required
to achieve his financial goals , he advises him to invest in
equity mutual funds for following reasons
— Portfolio diversification
— Superior returns ( refer slide on cumulative annualized returns
for different asset classes for details )
Systematic Investment Plan

19. 19
 However, Anil is not comfortable investing into equity
mutual funds as they are volatile and therefore risky
and avoidable.
 Sreeni advises Mahesh to register for Systematic
Investment Plan (SIP) and make use of volatility in
the market rather than get worried and avoid
investing in equity mutual funds.
 Anil is not clear as to how SIP will work to his
advantage and requests for more details
 Sreeni explains as follows :

Why Systematic Investing?
 The Goal of most investors is to buy when the
prices are low, and sell when the prices are
high.
 Sounds simple, but trying to time the market
like this is :
1. Time Consuming
2. Risky
3. And almost Impossible
 A more successful strategy is to adopt
Rupee Cost Averaging.

24. 24
What is Rupee Cost Averaging ?
 The markets are volatile : they move up and down in an
unpredictable manner.
 Invest a fixed amount, at regular, predetermined
intervals and use the market fluctuations to your benefit.
 How does it help you :
1. You buy less when the market is up. You buy more
when the market is down
2. Overtime the market fluctuations are averaged
3. Most likely you will realize a saving on the cost per unit
4. This may lead to HIGHER RETURNS

25. 25
Three common reasons for not
investing
 I don’t have enough money to invest
 I am too busy making money to worry about managing
it
 I don’t have the time or expertise to follow the market
movements and make investments at the right time.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
is the only answer to all reasons.

26. 26
Investment made easy – SIP
SIP is an investment program that
allows you to contribute a fixed amount
(as low as Rs.1000 )in mutual funds at
regular intervals.

27. 27
Systematic Investment Plan
The Smart Law of Averages
 Invest regularly and periodically instead of Lumpsum / 1
time investment.
 For example , if you have Rs. 60000 to invest – you can
either do a one time investment or alternatively you can
spread the investment amount over a period of time say
Rs. 5000 every month for 12 months or Rs.10,000 every
month for 6 months.

28. 28
How to make Sip work for you ?
Set your financial goals
Identify the scheme
Decide the SIP amount
Look for a long term commitment
Aim for the big picture
Start investing.
