SIP Trends

Systematic investment plans (SIPs) in India have witnessed remarkable growth over the past few years, but emerging trends suggest that investor behaviour is shifting. Anurag Singh, Managing Partner at Ansid Capital, highlights concerns about overcrowding in the market, the lack of conviction among investors, and the sustainability of long-term investing strategies. While SIPs were initially designed to avoid market timing, many investors now chase past returns by frequently switching funds.

Comparing India’s investment trends to global markets, Singh questions whether the SIP model is truly effective in the long run or if it is merely a result of specific economic cycles.
