SIP investment in NIFTY basket

#1
Hello Traders,

Sorry if this sounds to be a very naive question.

Which one do you think is better when investing in SIP?
1. Investing in NIFTY basket, JRNIFTY basket?
or
2. Investing in Mutual Fund which is based on equity?

Since i have a busy daytime time i do not have much time in evaluating companies and investing proactively. So i think SIP would be better for people like us.

When i say 'better'. It is from a medium to long term perspective, like 5 yrs.

Thanks in advance,

i am investing as like SIP in few stocks. right now the portfolio is 2.01% down but as the essence is to keep investing hence doing it religiously. it serves few good things :

1. keep the avg buy price low with more number of shares to purchase
2. once the market take turn it will be profit.
3. no need to have lumpsum money to invest.

Its better to invest in individual stock keeping different industries as SIP in nifty is like sip in One stock.

Have you heard of Nifty ETF? They are like mutual funds that are designed to mimic the movements of NIFTY itself. If you dont have time to look as specific stocks or dont want a large amount of risk. You can invest in an ETF and benefit from the general market. You will get the exact same return as the market gives. No more No less. In the long term it is best to invest in ETF if you dont want professional help or you dont have time.
