SIPs are not new to Indian investors.
Over the last decade, systematic investing has become one of the most widely adopted ways to participate in mutual funds. Today, there are over 10 crore SIP accounts in India, and investors contribute close to ₹30,000 crore every month through SIPs, according to the latest AMFI data.
What made SIPs popular is fairly practical. Instead of deciding every month whether markets look attractive or waiting for the “right time” to invest, investors simply commit to investing a fixed amount regularly. The decision is made once, and the investing continues automatically.
When we launched Global Funds on Vested, the goal was to make it easier for investors to access global sectors, geographies and themes through funds managed by some of the biggest fund managers in the world, such as Fidelity International, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, to name a few.
However, one behaviour that investors were already familiar with in India was still under development, and that is the ability to invest in Global Funds systematically and on a regular interval.
That is changing now.
Introducing SIPs for Global Funds
Starting today, investors can set up SIPs in Global Funds on Vested.
This means that if there is a global fund you want to invest in regularly, you no longer need to manually place an order each time. You can now choose an amount, select a frequency, and let the investment happen automatically.
Instead of asking yourself every month whether this is the right time to invest, or remembering to come back and place another order, you can make that decision once and let the investment continue in the background.
This is especially useful for investors who are looking at Global Funds as a long-term allocation rather than a one-time transaction.
SIPs now work across more products on Vested
This launch is not only about Global Funds.
We have also built on our existing recurring investing experience and expanded it across Vested, so investors can now use SIPs across multiple products, including:
- Global Funds
- US stocks
- ETFs
- Managed portfolios
- DIY Vests
As part of this update, we have also renamed “Recurring Investments” to SIPs across the platform, aligning the terminology with what most investors in India are already familiar with.
The rationale here is simple.
Most investors do not build a portfolio using just one product type. Someone may want to invest regularly in a global fund for diversification, add a US ETF for broad market exposure, and continue a SIP in a managed portfolio alongside that.
With this update, the SIP experience has been extended across products with a more consistent setup, making recurring investing easier to manage across the portfolio.
In other words, SIPs are now becoming a more central investing behaviour on Vested.
What has improved in the SIP experience
Along with bringing SIPs to Global Funds, we have also made several improvements to the SIP experience itself.
Each feature is meant to solve a practical issue investors face when they try to invest regularly over a long period of time.
1. You can now edit SIPs without stopping them
Earlier, if an investor wanted to change something in an SIP, such as the amount or frequency, the only option was to stop the SIP and create a new one.
That, in reality, created friction. A user who simply wants to increase their SIP amount after a salary hike, or reduce it temporarily during a certain month, should not have to go through the full process of cancelling and starting again.
With this update, SIPs can now be edited directly.
This makes the feature much more practical for real-life investing because investment plans do not stay fixed forever. Income changes, priorities change, markets change, and users should be able to adjust their SIPs without disrupting the flow completely.
The rationale is fairly simple: a recurring investment feature should be flexible enough to adapt with the investor, not force the investor to start over every time something changes.
2. Investors can now choose the SIP execution time
Previously, SIPs used to run at a fixed time.
Now investors can choose from half-hour execution slots between 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM ET (7:30 PM – 12:30 AM IST, or 8:30 PM – 1:30 AM IST depending on daylight savings).
For Managed Portfolios and DIY Vests, execution slots are available between 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM ET (8:30 PM – 12:30 AM IST, or 9:30 PM – 1:30 AM IST depending on daylight savings).
This solves a real user need.
Some investors prefer their SIPs to execute earlier in the trading session. Others may want the execution to happen later in the day.
In global markets, especially US markets, price movement within the day can matter to some users, and giving them a choice makes the experience feel more intentional and transparent.
Even for users who are not actively watching markets, the presence of choice improves trust. A fixed time system feels rigid. A user-selected time feels more controlled.
3. SIPs now support daily frequency
Earlier, SIP frequency options were more limited. Now, in addition to weekly, bi-weekly and monthly SIPs, investors can also set up daily SIPs.
Why does this matter?
Because different investors prefer different rhythms of investing.
Some investors like monthly investing because it aligns with salary cycles. Others may prefer weekly investing. And some may want to spread their investments even more gradually by investing every day.
Daily SIPs can be useful for investors who want to average their entries more frequently and reduce the effect of any single day’s market move. It also gives users more flexibility in how they build positions over time.
The main rationale here is that SIPs should not assume one standard investing pattern for everyone. A recurring investment product becomes more useful when it can support different investor behaviours rather than forcing everyone into the same schedule.
4. SIP-level order history improves visibility
We have also added SIP-level order history and SIP-tagged transactions.
This improves transparency in a very practical way.
When someone sets up a recurring investment, they should be able to clearly answer questions like:
- Did my SIP run on the scheduled date?
- Which orders came from this SIP?
- What has this SIP done over time?
Earlier, that visibility was not always as clear at the SIP level. With this improvement, users can now track the history of a particular SIP much more easily.
The rationale is important here. Automation is useful only when users can still understand what is happening. The more money movement becomes automated, the more transparency matters. Order history helps users verify, review and trust the feature over time.
5. A unified SIP dashboard brings everything to one place
We are also introducing a unified Profile → SIPs section where investors can create and manage SIPs across supported products.
This includes SIPs in:
- Stocks
- ETFs
- Managed portfolios
- DIY Vests
- Global Funds
This is an important improvement because recurring investing becomes harder to manage when it is scattered across different parts of the product.
If an investor has multiple SIPs running across different products, they should not have to remember where each one lives, or navigate separately to track each investment.
A central SIP dashboard makes this much simpler. It gives investors one place to review active SIPs, upcoming executions and changes they may want to make.
The rationale is usability. As SIPs become a larger part of how investors use Vested, management needs to become centralized and intuitive.
Getting started
If you have been planning to invest regularly in Global Funds, you can now set up an SIP directly on Vested.
Simply choose the fund you want to invest in, decide the investment amount and frequency, and the investment will happen automatically on the scheduled dates.
You can now set up SIPs across Global Funds, US stocks, ETFs, managed portfolios and DIY Vests directly from the app.
If you already have SIPs running on Vested, this update also introduces several improvements that make the experience more flexible. You can now edit SIPs without stopping them, choose preferred execution windows, explore daily SIPs, and track SIP-level order history.
If you have not created your first SIP yet, you can start by setting up one for a Global Fund you want to build exposure to. And if you already use SIPs, you can explore the new features and update your existing SIPs based on your preferences.
