Quick Start Checklist

tips_and_updates Important Reminders

  • Start Small: Even ₹500/month is a great start. You can increase later.
  • Be Patient: Wealth building takes time. Don't panic during market dips.
  • Stay Disciplined: Don't stop SIPs during market volatility—that's when you buy more units!
  • Review Annually: Not monthly! Checking portfolio daily creates anxiety.
