Rupee Cost Averaging
Rupee cost averaging is the effect of investing a fixed sum at regular intervals. Because the amount is constant, it buys more units when prices fall and fewer when they rise, which can lower the average cost per unit.
Why It Matters
It turns market falls into discounts for disciplined investors.
In India
A ₹2,000 SIP buys about 11% more units in a month when the market is 10% lower.
