Mumbai, February 17: Asset management company SBI Mutual Fund on Monday launched a systematic investment plan (SIP) aimed at democratizing access to the product. An investor can invest as low as Rs 250 per transaction under the JanNivesh SIP scheme, which was launched in presence of Sebi Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch.
