“Always invest for the long term.”
— Warren Buffett
As Warren Buffet stated, we should always focus on long-term investing. Down the lane, it will balance your financial status & help you in achieving your financial goals.
The benefit of compound interest works best in the long run. Also, in order to accumulate the required corpus, we need to invest in an investment vehicle that provides inflation-beating returns. A mutual fund Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is the perfect option to channelize your regular monthly savings.
Mutual funds that invest in stock markets are a must-have for long-term investors. A well-managed & well-diversified equity mutual fund with a good track record has the potential to earn better returns in the long run.
Investment Strategy to Invest in a SIP:
The following table shows, how a mutual fund investment helps you in achieving the required corpus just by investing Rs. 10,000 monthly.
Assumptions:
Monthly SIP | 10,000 |
SIP Annual Step-up Rate | 5% |
Tenure | 20 years |
Total Amount invested | 39.68 Lakhs |
Let us assume you are investing Rs. 10,000 per month for the next 20 years with an annual step-up rate of 5%. The total amount invested would be around Rs. 39.68 lakhs.
The below table shows the various fund categories available in Equity Mutual Funds and the average return they could potentially provide in 10 years.
Fund Category | 10-year Avg. return | Final Corpus |
Equity: Large Cap | 12.32% | 1.35 crores |
Equity: Mid Cap | 16.85% | 2.24 Crores |
Equity: Small Cap | 18.50% | 2.71 Crores |
Equity: Hybrid Aggressive | 12.27% | 1.34 Crores |
Equal Contribution in the above 4 categories | 1.91 Crores |
We have taken the average 10-year return for a particular category of funds for calculation purposes.
Let us look at what category of the fund each kind of investor could invest in along with their average returns in the long term below;
- If a person invests Rs. 10,000 in Equity Large Cap Category Mutual Funds where the average return is 12.32%.
- Then the final corpus value in 10 years would be Rs. 1.35 crores.
- Investors having a higher risk appetite can go for Mid Cap or Small Cap, where the average returns are slightly higher than the Large Cap category.
- The final corpus under Mid cap & Small cap would be Rs 2.24 crores & Rs. 2.71 crores respectively.
- Under the Equity Hybrid category, the average return is 12.27%.
- The final corpus would be around Rs.1.34 crores.
- If you want to diversify your investment portfolio, then you can split your investment under the four categories equally.
- Ex: you can invest Rs. 2500 under each category.
- In that case, the final corpus value would be Rs. 1.91 crores.
Since SIP allows you to start investing with a small amount, you can gradually build your Investment Portfolio in the long run.
Regular investments made across different market cycles help you to average out the purchase price. This is technically called Rupee cost averaging.
