Understanding Systematic Investment Plans (SIP)
Investing in Indian equity markets through mutual funds has become significantly easier with Systematic Investment Plans (SIP). A SIP instills financial discipline by automatically deducting a predetermined amount from your bank account every month and investing it in selected mutual fund schemes.
How Compounding Powers Your SIP Wealth
Compounding means earning returns not just on your original principal investment, but also on the accumulated interest/returns generated over previous periods. Over long horizons (10, 15, or 20 years), the returns generated by compounding far exceed your total invested principal.
Formula for SIP Compound Return
FV = P × [{(1 + i)^n - 1} / i] × (1 + i)
- FV (Future Value): Total expected maturity corpus.
- P: Monthly investment amount.
- i: Monthly rate of return (Annual expected rate / 12 / 100).
- n: Total number of monthly installments (Years × 12).
