    Another Amravati based IFA strikes it big this Dhanteras

    Rajesh Sharma has Initiated 111 SIPs in a single day.
    Nishant Patnaik Oct 18, 2017

    Taking inspiration from Cafemutual’s article on Amravati-based Mahesh Gattani of Balaji Investments who initiated 500 SIPs in a single day, another Amravati-based IFA Rajesh Sharma has initiated 111 SIPs on Dhanteras.

    Though the number looks small compared to Mahesh’s figure of 500 SIPs, it is certainly a big number for an IFA who started just three years ago.

    Sharing his achievement with Cafemutual, he says, “I had gone through Mahesh Bhai’s story published on Cafemutual on September 27. This story is the source of inspiration for me to ‘Think bold and Plan big’. That day I made a pledge to initiate at least 101 SIPs in equity funds on Dhanteras.”

    However, it is easier said than done. Rajesh approached 80 existing clients and asked them to start an SIP in equity funds instead of buying gold on Dhanteras. By the end of this 10 days exercise, only 25 clients agreed to start SIPs in equity funds.

    Rajesh did not give up and managed to get over 50 referrals from his 150 clients. He started meeting prospects to understand their interests and encourage them to start SIPs in equity mutual funds. He explained to them the concept of long term investing in mutual funds through SIPs. He convinced 30 new clients to start SIPs on Dhanteras.

    As a result, Rajesh has initiated 111 SIPs on behalf of his clients in equity funds in a single day. The average ticket size of SIP is Rs.1,700 per month per folio with a minimum time horizon of five years.

    In future, he plans to enrol with a digital platform to initiate 500 SIPs in a single day.

    i appreciate it, but how many of them will continue their sips, how many of them investing goal oriented. What is the use if u do sip business for image and exposer in media. An lic agent who has micro finance company in andhra pradesh used to do 1000 policies in a year. what is the use more than 99% policies got lapsed next year. Its better to educate the clients. 10 good sips are enough than 100 bad sips( which may not continue). I promise these clients will treat these sips as 2 year chit funds and with draw with in 2 years, or after two years. no one will continue. These guys do not know time value of money.

    Real service to investors is to educate them for long term investments . In my opinion if you can educate and enroll for long term investments just 10 investors in a month , it is much better than enrolling 100 SIPs in a day that would mostly close in next few months.

    Congrts Rajesh for efforts and achievement. As mention many of friends here in this forum It is important to educate clients for better understanding of products and benefits. If client understand the importance of goal setting and planning then he/she will stay invested for longer term.
    One more thing I wish to say that without knowing the facts no one is in position to say how much of these SIP will continue or stop.Keep planning and growing.
    Best Wishes for Deepawali and time to come.

    Real happiness is not in registering SIP. After 1 year, just see how many SIPs are working, then celebrate.
    Omkeshwar Singh · 6 years ago `

    Rajesh Sharma work is commendable and praiseworthy he has set another example for other people working in the industry. Most of the IFA'S are saying that numbers are not important but continuing that is important, so what do you think that this I fa has not done any hard work to educate client and you people are only educating even after all the education is done client still check the returns everyday they see where Sensex is moving they compare funds they go through media clients are very precarious while investing its not that easy that you go and utter anything and they will sign a check for you what do you mean by education no education works in market see the Chinese Market once it has made a high and now there are no Returns you can't predict market based returns. What you can show is the historical market data you cannot guarantee future return and if client doesn't get returns in 10 years then all disciplined and education approach is futile so I must suggest all you people that open as many as a account as possible. Do your work late the future and decide what will happen. If you fear before driving a vehicle when it is very unlikely that you will reach your destination.
