Mutual Fund SIP

Mutual Fund SIP: for Short Term or Long Term?

Listen to this article


It may look very strange when everyone is advocating Mutual Fund Sip for the long-term, what is the necessity for this debate on ‘Is Mutual Fund SIP for Short term or long term?’. Before going into this, we will see what SIP & Mutual Fund is?

SIP vs Mutual Fund

SIP is a method of investing in a mutual fund.

When you invest in a mutual fund, you can invest in two ways. One is Lump sum Mutual fund investment. where you invest your money at once. Another method is SIP i.e., Systematic Investment Plan where you invest same proportion of money at regular intervals.

Timeframe for Mutual Fund SIP

[the_ad id=’15144′]
Theoretically doing a Mutual fund SIP for the long-term will work for investors. But for practical reasons we need to commit a Mutual Fund SIP for short term. That is we need to break that long term into many 6 months or 1 year periods and commit your Mutual Fund SIP for the first 6 months or 1 year.

Then at the end of 6 months or 1 year renew your Mutual Fund SIP for another 6 months or 1 year if it is still a good mutual fund for long term investment. You need to renew like this till you complete your predetermined long term period.

You may think it is an unnecessary paperwork and waste of time. But you will be completely convinced when you have finished reading this article.

Contribution towards Mutual Fund SIP Changes

How much you are contributing towards Mutual Fund SIP changes over a period of time.

  • At the beginning of a career, a person will be able to commit Mutual Fund SIP for small sum of amount. As he progresses in his career, he or she will be able to increase his contribution towards Mutual Fund SIP.
  • Similarly, when someone reaches a stage where he needs to spend more on kid’s higher education, daughter’s wedding, buying a house or meeting a major financial commitment, it is difficult for him to continue the same amount of Mutual Fund SIP contribution.
  • So whenever you renew your Mutual Fund SIP at the end of 6 months or 1 year, you can look at your cash flow position and based on that you can renew the Mutual Fund SIP for the increased amount or the same amount or the reduced amount.

Mutual Fund SIP Calculator

You can use the calculator, shown below, to find your estimated Mutual Fund Returns.


In this calculator, you can choose the various SIP related options given below, that suits your investment purpose.

  • Choose your desired SIP amount
  • Choose your SIP Frequency
  • Choose your duration for SIP payments; and, you will get your estimated Mutual Fund returns.

Portfolio Review and Mutual Fund SIP

Also it gives you a chance to review your portfolios with your financial advisor / investment planner once in 6 months or 1 year.

  • The scheme which you have chosen for Mutual Fund SIP is performing well when compared to its peers or not? Is that still a good mutual fund for long term investment? You need to review this periodically. The scheme may turn out to be a laggard.
  • The scheme may be performing well when you have chosen for doing mutual fund SIP. But over a period of time, it could have derailed from its performance. This is something like our cricket players. They will be in a good form in the game for some period of time. Then they will lose their form after sometime. So you need to periodically check up whether the fund is performing NOW or not.
  • If you are committing a Mutual Fund SIP for 10 years, then the financial advisor / investment planner may not be coming back to you whenever you call him for reviewing your portfolio or you need to roam around to find how to close sip mutual fund, as you are not in touch with your advisor for a long time. If you commit for 6 months or 1 year he or she will be definitely coming to you for renewing the Mutual Fund SIP. You can have a review with him or her at that time.
  • When you commit Mutual fund SIP for long term, generally we ignore to review it. It may generate poor returns. You can avoid this by periodic review.

Equity Exposure in Overall Portfolio and Mutual Fund SIP

How much equity exposure you can give to your overall portfolio can change the amount of Mutual Fund SIP in equity and debt.

  • As the age goes up, your ability to take risk comes down. So you need to change your equity mutual fund SIP contribution periodically.
  • How close or distant you are to achieve your financial goals will also decide your equity exposure. If you have got long period to achieve your financial goal then you can have more equity exposure. When you have short period to achieve your financial goal, then you need to reduce your equity exposure.
  • Rebalancing your portfolio based on your predetermined asset allocation will also decide your equity exposure.

All this can change your Mutual Fund SIP amount in equity funds.

Final verdict on Mutual Fund SIP

So committing a Mutual Fund SIP for long term looks good on paper. For practical reasons we need to commit for short term and renew it at the end of every short term till achieving our financial goals.

In this regard, instead of committing a Mutual Fund SIP just like that, having a long term financial plan and committing Mutual Fund SIP based on that plan will be really fruitful. This will make a solid difference in achieving your financial goals.

If you are REALLY inclined to make this solid difference in achieving your financial goals by creating a financial plan, then I would suggest you to test-drive our services by opting for

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
