Direct vs Regular SIP, which is better?
๐when we fall sick, we consult Doctor.
๐when we want to build home, we consult Mason.
๐when we need education,we consult teacher.
๐when we have to repair TV, we consult electrician.
Then
๐when time come to invest, WHY don't we consult financial expert?
๐️♀️Wealth creation is not just about expense ratio.It is the BEHAVIOUR ratio-how you act in fear and greed.And behaviour is best handled by your trusted distributor , not by algorithm of an App.
Take an Example:
An investor started Rs.5000 monthly SIP for 10 year without any expert guidance , after 5 year his total investment value including return became Rs.5 lakh (Assuned).
Sudden market crashed and his investment value went down 20% i.e Rs4 lakh. He got panic and withdraw his investment.
Here two things happened:
1. Loss of money: He lost 20% of his investment.
2. Goal break: As he exited from investment so he also missed the goal for which he had started the SIP.
Lets eloberate some facts
๐Financial expert speaks aloud that real wealth is created in long term, still people want to be rich early for instant gratification and loss their hard earned money.
๐Hundreds or thousands of financial book reveals that real winner in money making skill is one who control their emotion when market falls and panic situation arised.
Still people do not take help of financial expert for better fund selection(Who also guides and motivates during panic situation)
and being overconfident they think themselves as a long term investor initially but repeates same mistake (Exit their investment either in loss or with very less profit) in panic situation.
๐History has shown that small cap SIP/MUTUL fund gives more return compared to large or mid cap but having volatility risk, still people exit from small cap when market goes down and their portfolio become red(Because their selfconfidence goes down due to lack of guidance)
