What is an SIP?
The SIP mode allows mutual fund investors to invest a certain fixed sum regularly over the long term in the scheme/s of their choice. This helps develop a financial discipline - the key to successful investing. It also enables averaging of investment costs as more units are added when the equity markets are trading low and fewer units when the markets are scaling up. This feature enhances the power of compounding, allowing the investors' wealth to grow leaps and bounds over the long term. The tool used to calculate SIP returns is known as XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return).

Do note that Large Cap Fund may not generate extraordinarily high returns because large-sized companies already hold significant market share, and therefore, they grow at a slower pace. Large Cap Mutual Funds are suitable for investors looking for steady growth of capital over the long run through equities but do not want to assume very high risk. It is preferable to have a long-term investment horizon of at least 3-5 years when investing in Large Cap Mutual Funds.
