SIP Investment: How Rs 999 SIP can help you achieve Rs 999,999 corpus; know calculations
SIP is an effective way of investing in mutual funds. Since SIP investment provides compound returns, staying in investment for the long term can help you build a sizeable corpus. Even if your monthly investment is Rs 999, you can accumulate wealth worth Rs 999,999. Know how it is possible and how you can achieve that goal.
SIP investment: There is some charm around the magic number ending in 99. Retailers often use it as a psychological pricing strategy to make customers think the item is cheaper. The strategy works on the idea that customers are more likely to focus on the first two digits and consider a Rs 99 price much lower than Rs 100, even though the difference is just Rs 1. Similarly, when we think in terms of investment, we think about round numbers such as Rs 1,000, Rs 5,000, or Rs 10,000; we never think of investing Rs 99, Rs 999, or Rs 9,999. What if some invest with the magic number of Rs 999? What if you choose the popular method of systematic investment plan (SIP) and invest this amount in a mutual fund?
Investments through SIP give you compound returns.
The figure of Rs 999 for monthly investment looks small, but even with that investment, you can get a huge corpus of Rs 999,999, another all-nine number magic figure, which is actually a corpus of Rs 10 lakh.
Since SIP offers compounding, one needs to stay in their investments for a long time.
If one invests a small amount for 15 years or more, their small contribution can do wonders in the form of a huge corpus.
