investors are invested in Insurance. Most of the investor prefer for the Flexible SIP. Thus
the study made above helps us to suggest Navia Market Ltd to improve its customized
products for lending against systematic investment plan.
Form the conclusion part it is clearly understood that the nature of investment differs from
individual to individual and is unique to each one because it depends on various
parameters like future financial goals, the present and future income model, capacity to
bear the present & future income model, capacity to dear the risk, the present requirement
and lot more.
A study on Mutual fund is a pool of money, collected from investors and is invested
according to certain investment objectives with a common financial goal. A Mutual Fund is
created when investors put their money together. The most important characteristic of a
mutual fund is that the contributors and the beneficiaries of the fund are the same class of
people, namely the investors. The money thus collected is invested by the fund manager in
different to debentures to money market instruments. The income earned by these
instruments and the number of units owned by them. Thus a mutual fund is the most
suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a
diversified, professionally managed portfolio at a relatively low cost.
A systematic investment plan (SIP) commits the investor to invest a specified amount
every month (or every quarter) in the units of a funds equity scheme. The number of units
bought each month for the investor under the plan will depend on the ruling price: fewer
units are bought when the price is high, and more units are bought when price is low. This
is a built-in advantage of SIPs. It averages out investors buying price over the entire period
of holding. The SIP resolves a dilemma often facing investors due to ups and downs in the
market price. The investor finds it difficult to decide when to invest in the equity scheme.
The monthly or quarterly amount to be invested can be as small as Rs. 500 or Rs. 1000.
Mutual funds specify the schemes for which SIP is allowed by them. Some funds charge a
lower entry load under SIP than for one-time investment, but others don’t make any such
distinction. An exit load under SIP is charged if the investor leaves the scheme before a
specific period of time. Why invest using SIP? Investing through SIP in a mutual fund
indubitably is the key solution in order to avoid or prevent the loopholes of equity
investment and yet, continually enjoy the high returns of investment. Isn’t it great
therefore to invest using this effective strategy of SIP? Obviously, yes! And not only that, it
Investing through SIP in a mutual fund indubitable is the key solution in order to avoid
or prevent the loopholes of equity investment and yet, continually enjoy the high returns of
investment. Isn’t it great therefore to invest using this effective strategy of SIP? Obviously,
yes! And not only that, it makes all the more sense today when the stock markets are
booming and are tempting to really invest. Tension free investment: Experts and other
well versed people in this business who will definitely manage the investor’s money and
other forms of investment is one of the key advantages of investing through a mutual fund.
They regularly carry out extensive research – on the company, the industry and the
economy – thus ensuring informed investment. This then is one big advantage in view of
investing one’s hard earned money. In addition to that, they regularly track the market.
Thus, for many of us who do not have the desired expertise and are too busy with our
vocation to devote alternative. Therefore, indubitably this type of business is indeed, a
tension-free form of investment. Putting eggs in different baskets: Another advantage of
investing through mutual funds is that, even with just small amounts we are able to enjoy
the benefits of diversification. Huge amounts would be required for an individual to
achieve the desired diversification, which would not be possible for many of us. It’s all
transparent and well-regulated: It is interesting to note that the mutual fund industry is
well regulated both by SEBI (securities and Exchange Board of India) and AMFI
(Association of Mutual funds in India). They have, over the year, introduced regulations,
which ensure smooth and transparent functioning of the mutual funds industry. Moreover,
the mutual fund can be changed time by time, switch in different mutual funds this is one of
the big profit. Does not affect one’s monthly budget: Furthermore, with SIP small amount
(Rs. 500 – Rs. 1,000) can be invested periodically in Mutual funds as against larger one-
time investment required to buy directly from the market. In this way, an investment does
not appear to be a burden every month. On the other hand, to prevent losses in volatile
markets, investing in SIPs is the best option as every month there may be an opportunity to
buy at lower levels. Rupee cost averaging: This is especially true for investments in
equities. When you invest the same amount in a fund at regular intervals over time, you
buy more units when the price is lower. Thus, you would reduce your average cost per
share (or per unit) over time. This strategy is called ‘rupee cost averaging’. With a sensible
and long-term investment approach, rupee cost averaging can smoothen out the market’s
ups and downs and reduce the risks of investing in volatile markets. Discipline: The
cardinal rule of building the corpus is to stay focused, invest regularly and maintain
discipline in investing pattern. A few hundred’s set aside every month will not affect the
monthly disposable income. It will be easier to part with a few hundred’s every month,
rather than set aside a large sum for investing in one shot. Power of compounding:
4410 | Dr.S.Sankar A Study On Investor Perception Towards Systematic
Investment Plan With Reference To Navia Markets Ltd, Chennai
Investment gurus always recommend that one must start investing early in life. On the
main reasons for doing that is the benefit of compounding. Helps to fulfil one’s dreams:
Finally and the best of all is the fact that with the use of SIP, it will make one’s dreams come
true. The investments that are made are ultimately for some objectives such as to buy a
house, children’s education, marriage etc. And many of them require a huge one-time
investment. As it would usually not be possible to raise such large amounts at short notice.
It would be necessary to build the corpus over a longer period of time, through small but
regular investments. This is what SIP is all about. Small investments, over a period of time,
result in large wealth and help fulfil one’s dreams and aspirations. Convenience: This is a
very convenient way of investing. The investor has to submit cheques along with the filled
up enrolment form. The mutual fund will deposit the cheques on the requested date and
credit the units to one’s account and will send the confirmation for the same. Other
advantages: There are no entry or exit loads on SIP investments. Capital gains, wherever
applicable, are taxed on a first-in, first-out basis.

by investing the secret ‘striking it rich’ and high potential return funds among equity based
mutual funds Systematic Investment Plan (large cap, small and mid cap, diversified equity,

ANICH UDDIN (2016) Have discussed that “the stock market provides higher returns than
any of the investment options available in the financial market. A prudent investor can
earn a lot from the stock market operations. But there is a chance of high risk and
uncertainty. As we know, higher the return, higher will be the risk. Those investors with
lack of knowledge and expertise may lose their money while investing in financial assets,
especially in securities. This is where mutual funds come into picture. Mutual fund is the
most suitable investment for a common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a
diversified professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. A mutual
fund is an investment company or a trust that pools the resources of a large number of its
shareholders and invest on behalf of them in diversified portfolios to attain the objectives
of the investors which in return achieve income or growth or both.

investment avenue provides a platform to the investor who do not want to take high risk
on their hand earned investment. In India, mutual fund industry is growing rapidly and
this industry has emerged as an important segment of financial market of India, especially
in channelizing and mobilizing the savings of millions of individuals into the investment in
equity and debt instruments. Mutual fund investment is less risky than investing directly
in stocks and is therefore a safer option for risk averse investor. A competent fund
manager should analyze investor behaviour, perception, and attitude and understand their
needs and expectations to gear up the performance to meet investor expectations and
requirements. Investment in mutual fund is affected by the attitude of investors and hence
