What is the SIP stoppage ratio?
The SIP stoppage ratio represents the number of discontinued SIPs compared with the number of newly registered SIPs. If this ratio crosses 100%, it indicates that more SIPs are being stopped than started.However, it is important to note that the stoppage ratio also includes SIPs that have expired. Additionally, investors may have simply switched from one SIP to another as part of portfolio rebalancing.
