SIPs: Great Start, But Times Have Changed
Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) have long been a favorite for Indian investors. They’re easy to set up, encourage discipline, and run on autopilot.
In March 2024 alone, SIP contributions touched a record ₹20,371 crore (Source: AMFI). Clearly, the trust is still there.
But here’s the reality: today’s markets are more complex. A fixed SIP in one fund may not be flexible enough to keep pace.
If you’re still using a one-size-fits-all SIP strategy, it might be time to ask:
Is my SIP helping me reach my goals—or just keeping me stuck?
The Problem with Traditional SIPs
What Is a Traditional SIP?
It’s when you invest a fixed amount every month into one mutual fund—usually an equity fund.
This is great when markets are rising and stable. But what about when they aren’t?
Key Limitations:
-
No market response: Keeps investing even during downturns without changing strategy.
-
No rebalancing: Asset allocation can drift over time, making your portfolio riskier.
-
Lack of diversification: Often focused on one fund or asset class (like equity).
Example:
Let’s say you started a ₹10,000/month SIP in a large-cap fund in 2020. It may have done well early on, but if you didn’t switch or diversify when small- and mid-cap sectors started performing, you missed out.
The issue isn’t SIP itself—it’s the lack of adaptability.
Why You Need Dynamic Asset Allocation
Dynamic asset allocation means changing how your money is spread across equity, debt, gold, or liquid funds based on:
-
Market trends
-
Your financial goals
-
Risk appetite
It’s like using Google Maps instead of a printed map—it updates as your route changes.
Why It Matters:
-
Equity doesn’t always perform well
-
Debt may do better when interest rates are high
-
Gold can be a safety net during uncertain times
-
Your goals and age may reduce your risk tolerance over time
A study by Vanguard (2022) found that portfolios with regular rebalancing and multi-asset allocation had 30–40% less volatility compared to equity-heavy portfolios, with nearly the same returns.
Meet All Rounder: Smarter Than a Regular SIP
All Rounder by 5nance is a dynamic, AI-driven SIP that adjusts as you go.
Here’s what makes it different:
1. Multi-Asset Allocation
Instead of just equity, your money is split across:
-
Equity (for growth)
-
Debt (for safety)
-
Gold (for stability)
-
Liquid funds (for short-term needs)
AI monitors the market and adjusts this mix to suit your current financial situation.
2. Monthly Monitoring & Auto-Rebalancing
Your portfolio is reviewed every month for:
-
Underperformance
-
Drifting away from target asset allocation
If needed, the AI shifts your investments to keep everything balanced. You don’t have to lift a finger.
3. Logic, Not Emotion
We often panic during market crashes or get greedy in bull runs. AI doesn’t.
It makes data-backed decisions and reacts faster than humans—keeping your money safer and smarter.
4. Easy Dashboard
Get clear visibility into:
-
Your investment progress
-
What your money is doing

How your goals are tracking

Real-Life Scenario: Ramesh vs. Raj
Ramesh uses a traditional SIP. He started with ₹8,000/month in a mid-cap fund. In 2023, markets dipped. He panicked, paused the SIP, and stayed in cash.
Raj uses All Rounder. His portfolio shifted to debt and gold during the dip, protecting capital. When markets recovered, AI shifted back to equity. His goal stayed on track.
Outcome? Raj’s smarter system helped him stay invested and get better returns with less stress.
Final Thoughts: Don’t Let Your SIP Fall Behind
SIPs taught us to invest regularly. But today’s market needs more than routine—it needs flexibility and strategy.
Using the same SIP from five years ago in today’s market is like driving a manual car on a racetrack full of turns. It works, but it’s far from optimal.
