Traditionally, most of us have been harsh on the idea of being “average”
as we keep saying “that was an average movie”, “she is just an average
student”, etc.
Our argument is that, “average” is not just good enough, but is ‘the
thing’ one should strive to achieve as far as equity investing by
individual investors is concerned.

Rupee Cost Averaging :
Invest a particular amount in a mutual fund every month (or every day / week / quarter)
through the ups and downs of the market movement of a mutual fund's NAV. With
rupee cost averaging (or Systematic Investment Plan or SIP), an investor benefits by
buying more units when the market is down and less units when the market is up.

Greed and Fear in Market Cycles
Human beings are guided by 2 extreme emotions "Greed" and "Fear", which prevent them from
taking sound investment decisions.
When there are excesses in the stock market, Greed sets in, which in turn results in major correction,
thereby triggering the Fear psychology. Most of the investors are trapped in the greed and fear cycles
by buying in greed and selling in fear, resulting in a bad investment experience.

Can you guess what is average cost of the units accumulated via SIP?
Answer - ` 30.35
The reason for lower average cost is the disciplined approach to investing where more
units were accumulated at lower NAV during the early stage of the SIP period.

To benefit from SIP, one should invest on periodic basis and not allow
emotions to drive their investment decisions.
Below table shows example of two individuals, Mr. A and Mr. B, both started their SIP
journey in HDFC Flexi Cap Fund on 1st April 2018. During the beginning of COVID 19,
Mr A paused his SIP for 6 months (driven by fear of COVID 19 impact on markets) while
Mr. B continued with his disciplined approach of investing regularly. Here are the results:
