Would be good if you could have mentioned what are the different costs one needs to keep an eye on and what they mean or stand for.

I intentionally kept this article as a simple checklist rather than getting into every cost in detail. I did mention the expense ratio because that’s one of the key costs to compare, especially over a long SIP horizon.

Good read. The goal is the most important point to start with. Based on the goals and its horizon, the selection of the category can be done.

A lot of investing decisions become clearer once we start with the goal and time horizon.

I just read your article, which is very knowledgeable. Keep going; my approach is the same at the time when I invest in mutual funds for SIP. Thanks for sharing.
