Also known as: Step-Up SIP, SIP Top-Up, Progressive SIP
A SIP strategy where investment amount increases by a fixed percentage annually, typically 8-12%.
Detailed Explanation
SIP Step-Up is an advanced systematic investment strategy where the monthly SIP amount is automatically increased every year by a predetermined percentage (usually 8-12%). This strategy helps investors align their investment growth with salary increments, combat lifestyle inflation, and build significantly larger corpus over time. A 10% annual step-up can result in 25-40% larger final corpus compared to static SIP amounts.
