During the current financial year, the SIP contribution amount is around 44,400 crore rupees. Every month, around 10 lakhs SIP accounts has been added and the average amount of per SIP account, per month is Rs. 3,165 /-.  So, the mutual fund industry is abundance of growing, even the retail investors in the India stock market is very low with the population.

The declining interest rate in the Bank deposits for the past few years and the ease of mutual fund investing, is also the primary reason for the Mutual Fund Industry that grown up.

Professional Fund Managers or experts are there to manage your mutual fund investments. You don't need to make any mathematical calculation, statistics. You just sit in your home - Review and Re-balance your portfolio once in a year, if it needs.

Rupee cost averaging (RC average) is the primary factor for investing as SIP. If you are going to invest in a mutual fund at once, if there is a crash in market, there is a very few chance to average it. But, if you are choosing the SIP - you can get more units, when the market crash. It will help you to cost averaging on Rupee Investments.
