Having SIPs is great decision as it builds discipline. However keep in mind following THREE things clearly. Otherwise you will be funding the broker\u2019s SIP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Are you invested in Direct Plans of the funds? If not, you are likely losing upto 50% of your money to commissions (1% to 1.5% yearly over 25 years compounds to that much loss!). And you are here for the long term!<\/li>
  2. Are you paying other service charges, per SIP charges, demat charges etc? Very important to minimise or cut these out. [Disclosure: I am with\u00a0Maxiomwealth\u00a0which has zero transaction charges and zero commissions]<\/li>
  3. Is your advisor a broker\/distributor\/bank or a SEBI Registered Investment Advisor? This is related to #1 above but important as fund selection can be easily influenced on those who collect backdoor commissions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Investing (make sure it is transparent) !<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
