What is SIF (Systematic Investment Facility)?

The Systematic Investment Facility (SIF) is a structured investment approach that enables investors to allocate a predetermined sum at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, or weekly) into chosen mutual fund schemes.This method assists investors in gradually accumulating wealth without the stress of market timing.

At MoneyTree Partners, we advocate for SIF as one of the most efficient strategies to attain long-term financial objectives through mutual funds.

🔹 How Does SIF Work?

  1. You select a mutual fund scheme.
  2. Determine a fixed investment amount.
  3. Choose the frequency (monthly / quarterly).
  4. The amount is automatically deducted from your bank account.
  5. Units are allocated based on the current NAV.
  6. This procedure continues until the selected duration or until you decide to modify or terminate it.
