Will SIP(Systematic Investment Plan) help ease the loss of my Mutual Fund in this Volatile market?

May not be. Because at present NAVs are high and when you go on buying units on regular basis you are buying them at a higher rate. If there is a crash of stock market....it will have same effect that it has on shares. Because the NAV falls. (Net Asset Value)

SIPs are also a form of Mutual Investment with different features. It highly depends on the sharemarket performance.one way to mitigate the loss is to know the fund managers worthiness and the diversification of the investments areas of that SIP.

Yes. In a big way.

YES, Provided u r long time investor

yes. u can minimise loss

yes, it will ease the loss in volatile market.The main purpose of SIP is to `even out' the volatility as the investment is made every month. If one has to prepare the chart with all volatility and build in SIP it will show smooth curve compared to volatility in stock market.But one need to remain invested for 1-3 years to get full benefit of SIP.

Ofcourse it would. In the dwindling market, SIP will fetch you more units.

One can never time the market. Studies have shown that SIP averages the cost of units, the more frequent the SIP, the better. It is also better with equity funds than with debt and also better in volatile market. It definitely is lighter on the pocket; stay invested for the long term.

It averages out the volatiity and it provides the best return if pursued for a long term, say 5 years.Anyways we earn also on monthly basis, only.
