    Rupee Cost Averaging

    Rupee cost averaging is a concept which allows an investor to take advantage of the market volatility. By investing in a SIP, an investor gets more units when the Net Asset Value (NAV) is less and less units when the NAV is high. This brings down the average cost of the units over the long term.
