SIP or STP: Which mutual fund investment option is best for you? | Know here
India TV NewsSIP or STP: Millions of investors use SIPs to invest in mutual funds regularly, but few are familiar with STP. In contrast, STP allows investors to invest a lump sum in a mutual fund, usually a debt fund, and gradually transfer it to equity funds at regular intervals. Key differences between SIP and STP Under SIP, money is deposited directly from the investor's bank account to the mutual fund, thereby promoting disciplined investing without the need for a large initial amount. SIP STP Allows investors to invest a fixed amount regularly in a mutual fund scheme. STP is especially beneficial for investors who have sufficient funds and want to gradually invest funds in equities, thereby reducing the risk of market volatility associated with lump sum investments.
