Dear Community,
We’re busting one Mutual Fund myth every Monday — so nothing holds you back from investing.
The internet is full of MF myths that keep people on the sidelines. At TradeBetter, we’re calling them out — one by one, every week. Bookmark this series. Share it with someone who keeps saying “I’ll invest later.”
THIS WEEK’S MYTH: “You need a large sum to start investing in mutual funds.”
Sound familiar? Most people who haven’t started yet believe this.
THE TRUTH: A SIP starts at just ₹500/month. That’s less than your weekend chai + samosa bill.
 What people think |
 What actually works |
|---|---|
| “I’ll start investing once I have ₹50,000 saved up.” | ₹500 every month, started today, beats ₹50,000 started 5 years later. |
Riya, 24, started a ₹500 SIP in her first job. Her colleague Arun kept waiting until he “had more money.” Three years later, Riya’s money was compounding quietly — while Arun was still waiting for the right time.
“The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is right now — even with ₹500.”
What stopped you from starting a SIP earlier?
- Thought I needed more money
- Didn’t know how
- Scared of risk
- Already investing
