Chasing Returns

It is risky to invest only in previous performance or top funds. Successful funds may underperform. Start with consistency, fund management, and investing goals.

Overlooking Expenses

Mutual funds include expense ratios and exit loads. These expenditures might reduce profits over time. To max gains, compare fund expense ratios and pick SIPs with lowest fees.

Ignoring Risk Management

Every investment contains risks that must be handled. Skip high-risk funds that don't fit your goals. Choose a diversified portfolio for long-term rewards and lower risk.

Ignoring Asset Allocation

Diversification and risk management require asset allocation, as do risky equity SIP payments. Your equity, debt, and gold should fit your risk tolerance and investing goals.

Neglecting Research

Without sufficient research, mutual funds can be risky investments. Before starting a SIP, research fund performance, management, cost ratios, investing goals, and risk profiles.
