Zerodha provides a platform for stock trading, futures and options, currency, mutual funds, IPO, commodity trading, etc. In stock trading, Zerodha introduced a lot of features that make traders’ lives easier. Here we will talk about the SIP features provided by Zerodha.

What is SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan, or SIP, is an investment plan where people can invest their money in fixed amounts at regular intervals. The best part is that the user has the ability to choose the amount to be invested, various plans, installment dates, tenure as per availability, and many more.

The Advantages of SIP

The benefit of SIP, especially in a volatile market, is that it gives you an opportunity to balance your investment. You can have full control of the SIP that you have opted for. You can edit the SIP any time you want. It’s convenient for the beginner, as this is less risky than investing in equity and, without much knowledge about company fundamentals, you are investing in a set of stocks picked by a certified advisor.
