Contributions to mutual fund schemes through systematic investment plans or SIPs remain unfazed by the market volatility in 2022 with inflow growing to Rs 1.5 lakh crore in 2022, a surge of 31 per cent from a year earlier, due to higher retail participation.

In comparison, an inflow of Rs 1.14 lakh crore through the route was registered in 2021 and Rs 97,000 crore in 2020, data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) showed.

Going ahead, SIP numbers are expected to continue to remain strong in 2023 as investors are increasingly appreciating the importance of regular investing through the route, Kaustubh Belapurkar, Director – Manager Research at Morningstar Investment Adviser India, said.

“As newer investors come to the fore, the SIP numbers will continue to increase. While SIP numbers will remain strong, lump sum flows will be dependent on market levels and volatility, we have seen investors book profits when markets run up and re-allocate to equities when markets are lower,” he added.

Priti Rathi Gupta, Founder and MD at LXME, said the trend of investing through SIP would gain even more momentum this year to enable the financial inclusion of investments by people beyond traditional instruments which will further contribute towards the increase in the assets under management (AUM).

SIP is an investment methodology offered by mutual funds wherein an individual saver can invest a fixed amount in a chosen scheme periodically at fixed intervals – say once a month, instead of making a lump sum investment. The SIP instalment amount can be as small as Rs 500 per month.

The SIP book has grown consistently from Rs 11,305 crore in December 2021 to an all-time high of Rs 13,573 crore in December 2022. This was also the third time in a row when monthly SIP contributions touched over Rs 13,000 crore.

During the calendar year, SIP inflows averaged more than Rs 12,400 crore per month, helping investors to stay in the stock market and benefit from Rupee cost averaging. The steady inflow suggests resilience in domestic inflows, which have been a solid counterbalance to FPIs (Foreign Portfolio Investors) selling.

“The consistent inflow in 2022 is primarily because of higher retail participation through the SIP route which has become a strong habit for them. This happened despite the fluctuation in the broad market. The inflow from new retail investors from Tier 2 towns onwards has also built up in the last 5 years as mutual funds have become more accessible through the digital channels,” Swapnil Bhaskar, Head of Strategy at Niyo (neo-bank for millennials), said.

Further, SIPs’ assets under management (AUM) climbed 19 per cent to Rs 6.75 lakh crore at the end of December 2022 from Rs 5.65 lakh crore in December-end 2021.

Currently, mutual funds have about 6.12 crore SIP accounts through which investors regularly invest in mutual fund schemes.

Industry experts believe that a staggered investment approach (via SIP or STP) in equity markets seems the ultimate solution to ride the wave of uncertainty as corrections would bring down the average cost of total investments or in case the bull run continues, investors would not lose out on opportunity cost.

The 42-player mutual fund industry mainly depends on SIPs for inflows, with equity mutual funds attracting Rs 1.6 lakh crore in 2022, way higher than Rs 96,700 crore seen in 2021.

The consistent monthly increase in SIP flows has helped the industry to add Rs 2.2 lakh crore to the AUM in 2022 to 39.88 lakh crore from Rs 27.72 lakh crore at the end of December 2021.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, who passed away last year, was one of the most successful investors in the country. Jhunjhunwala, known as the Big Bull, was an optimist who believed that ‘the best (of the market) is yet to come’. The billionaire investor also called ‘Warren Buffett of India’ set an exemplary example of how to create wealth from stock markets. He began his investment journey with Rs 5,000 and left $5.8 billion (about Rs 47,000 crore) in wealth, according to Forbes data. Over the years, investors have followed Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s advice, investing nuggets to emulate his success in stock market investment.

Jhunjhunwala was admired for his courage to trade against the overwhelming market sentiment. This resulted in phenomenal gains for him on several occasions. While Jhunjhunwala is no longer with us, the investment principles he has left behind can still guide beginner investors. If you are also one of those who are looking to start their stock market investment journey this year, here are Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s 5 investment strategies that can help you start and hopefully lead you to reap handsome returns in the future.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s 5 timeless investing principles

Buy right, sit tight, and don’t panic

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala strongly believed in the ‘buy right and sit tight’ principle. He always advised investors to do their own research, buy the right stock and then hold it till an opportune time. ‘Build a fighting spirit, take the bad with the good… Have faith in the company’s business. Don’t let panic drive your investment decisions,’ Jhunjhunwala often said. So, as a newbie to stock market investment, when you are convinced about the business model of a company and its sustainability, there is no need to panic from short-term sentiments. Go with your conviction, and stick to your investment.

Go against the tide

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s quote, ‘Always go against the tide. Buy when others are selling and sell when others are buying,’ is used by various investment advisors to date. One of Jhunjhunwala’s investing strategies was buying stocks at discounted prices when the market was down, and selling when the market was on the rise. He himself traded against overwhelming market sentiment, especially in bearish times, and then used windfall profits to buy or add in fundamental long-term picks in which his conviction was high. This way, he was able to multiply his wealth with a unique combination of short-term trading and long-term investing. If you have the ability to take a risk when markets are down, this investment principle can help you out.

Never let emotions guide your stock ideas, investment

When Rakesh Jhunjhunwala turned 50, he was asked by a reporter whether he sometimes got emotional about any of his stock ideas. In response, Jhunjhunwala had said that if he had any emotions, then they were for his loved ones, but surely he was not so emotional about any of his stocks. ‘I would not say there is no emotion when you have invested for such a long period of time, but they are not such emotions that will not part ways,’ he had said. So as a beginner investor, the lesson you can take away from this is to invest in the stock market (usually for the long term), but if you want to get rich, then never get emotional about your stock ideas and exit on time, when needed.

Never invest at unreasonable valuations

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala strongly suggested investors look at the valuations of the stock before making any investment decision. ‘Never invest at unreasonable valuations. Never run for companies that are in the limelight, Jhunjhunwala used to say. His advice holds even more weight now as in the recent past, we have seen several stocks like Paytm, Nykaa, PB Fintech, and Zomato, which had extremely high valuations at the time of stock market debut, destroy investors’ wealth. As you start your share market investment journey, whenever you see a stock trading at unreasonable valuations, avoid going for that. Or, you may end up losing your hard-earned money.

Have realistic return expectations

The Dalal street maverick advised people to trade with their own money as it ensures that people will take calculated risks and avoid their capital from unwarranted erosion. He often asked investors to have realistic return expectations. “If you’re able to earn an 18% return on your portfolio, you are no less than a king and if the return is 21%, you are an emperor,” he used to say. In a 2018 interview, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala told SIP investors to not expect a rate of more than 12-18% from equity markets. “If you are in a SIP, I’m confident you will get it. Don’t try to be over-smart,” he had said.
