What is SIP ?
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method that allows individuals to regularly invest a fixed amount in a mutual fund scheme, such as monthly or quarterly, instead of a lumpsum. This method encourages disciplined savings and makes investing more manageable, while regular contributions help you benefit from market growth and build wealth over time.
Power of Starting SIP Early
The earlier you start, the greater your potential returns. Take a look at the example to see how starting early can significantly impact your investment growth.
Suppose you start investing ₹10,000 monthly through SIP at an age of 35 till the age of 60, and you are expecting a return of 12%. Now, let’s see how this differs if you had started the same investment early at an age of 25 till the age of 60.
Age | Monthly Investment | Tenure (in Yrs) | Invested Amount | Estimated Returns |
---|---|---|---|---|
25 | ₹10,000 | 35 | ₹42 lakh | ₹6.08 crore |
35 | ₹10,000 | 25 | ₹30 lakh | ₹1.06 crore |
Investing ₹10,000 per month for 25 years can grow to approximately ₹1.06 crore. However, if you start 10 years earlier, the same investment can yield around ₹6.08 crore in returns.
