Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund’s Chhoti SIP is crafted to ease first-time investors into systematic investing with affordability and discipline.
The primary aim is to encourage long-term saving habits among new investors by offering diversified options within Kotak’s fund universe and encouraging a 5-year investment commitment.
SBI Jan Nivesh SIP, launched in collaboration with the State Bank of India, focuses on financial inclusion and offers flexible investing in a single dynamic fund.
The scheme targets wider accessibility across rural and urban India, making mutual fund investment approachable through the SBI network and simplifying fund choice.
Kotak Chhoti SIP is suitable for first-time investors looking for structure and a longer commitment with fund flexibility. In contrast, SBI Jan Nivesh SIP offers more flexibility in frequency and access but is limited to a single dynamic fund.
Both options are efforts toward enhancing financial inclusion, but your choice should be guided by your investment horizon, risk appetite, and need for diversification.
