Open an account with Indiabulls Securities, complete your KYC, and invest via SIP or a one-time lumpsum through our platform.
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) lets you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals (e.g., monthly) instead of a single lumpsum.
There is no separate brokerage on mutual fund units. The AMC charges an expense ratio, which is already reflected in the NAV. An exit load may apply if you redeem before the specified period.
Mutual fund NAVs are declared once per business day after market close, in line with SEBI norms.
