Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
A Systematic Investment Plan or SIP is a smart and easier mode for investing money in mutual funds. SIP allows an investor to invest a certain pre-determined amount at a regular interval (monthly, quarterly, yearly etc.). A SIP is a planned approach towards investments and helps to inculcate the habit of saving and building wealth for the future.

Buy and Surrender SIP Process: An investor can invest through SIP either by auto debit system provided against investor’s Bank Account or by providing monthly predetermined cheques via selling agents at a regular interval (monthly, quarterly, yearly etc.). Investor must have a BO Account. Investor will get SIP units in their BO Accounts based on a discount from the latest/ongoing effective Weekly Sale price of the fund.

It is advisable to continue SIP investments with a long-term perspective, there is no compulsion. Investors can discontinue the plan at any time. If an investor wants to terminate the SIP before 2 (two) years, up to 1% discount from the repurchase/ surrender price will be applicable on total accumulated invested amount on the date of cancellation of the scheme. After maturity of SIP, the investor can easily surrender through AMC or Selling Agents.
Dividend and Cumulative Investment Plan (CIP)
Dividend will be delivered in cash or by way of units under Cumulative Investment Plan (CIP) as the applicant gives option in the application form.

All payments / receipts in connection with or arising out of transactions in the units shall be in Bangladeshi Taka.
