SmartSIP Introduction
How can SmartSIP time the market?
What is the difference between SmartSIP & Regular SIP?
How Does SmartSIP Work?
We all have that one friend or colleague who is known as the ‘smart’ one in the group. This person sets the benchmark for everyone else.
Our school days were spent figuring out how this ‘smart’ person studies, which books he uses, which class he goes to etc.
From class topper to employee of the month, this ‘smart’ person has always been our ‘idol’. ‘Sharmaji ka beta’ was everyone’s nemesis!
We grew up, but the competition never stopped. Marks were replaced by salary and soon we were all caught up in the same ‘Sharmaji ka beta’ loop.
This same thing happens in investments also. Some investments are smart, some not-so-smart.
Mutual funds fall in the smart investment category. But for decades, investors were told that a SIP is the best way of investing in mutual funds.
But it was all a lie!
Yes, a SIP helps create investment discipline and it’s affordable, convenient etc but it’s not SMART!
Your regular SIPs are like Chatur from the movie ‘3 Idiots’. They only provide investment discipline, not superior returns!
Your regular SIP invests a fixed amount at regular intervals. It does not care whether the markets are cheap or expensive. Like Chatur, it just repeats the process without really adding any value to the portfolio.
So, when you do a mutual fund SIP, you are simply investing regularly but not making superior returns.
So, what should you do to generate superior returns?
Introducing, SmartSIP – ‘Rancho’ of the mutual fund industry.
SmartSIP is the smartest way of investing in mutual funds.
As we all know, you never buy things when they are expensive. You wait for a sale to buy ‘quality’ things cheaply.
SmartSIP works on the same principle. It studies the market and decides if the market is cheap or expensive.
Watch this video to understand the basics of SmartSIP and working :
In an expensive market,
It will not buy units of ‘equity’ mutual funds. Instead, it will invest the SIP amount into a ‘liquid’ fund.
In an extremely overpriced market, it will partially sell your equity units to book profits and shift the proceeds to liquid funds for safety.
In a cheap market,
It will continue investing your standard SIP amount.
It will double your SIP amount when the markets are extremely cheap.
But how can SmartSIP time the market?
Only investing in the ‘right fund’ is not enough to create wealth. You also need to invest at the ‘right time’.
RankMF’s proprietary ‘Margin of Safety Index’ helps you determine the ‘best time’ to invest in an equity fund. SmartSIP applies the “buy low, sell high” principle to your investments using MosDex score.
Over 20 million data points are input in a Giga Trading Engine, which then generates a Margin of Safety score.
A high MosDex score means the scheme is undervalued. A low MosDex score means the scheme is overvalued.
