How to Become Rich with SIPs?

Becoming rich is a common goal of almost every investor and every earning individual who is in their nascent stage of investment. To achieve that goal, you need to modify your investment portfolio that can help you become rich and also meet your investment and long-term financial goals.

And, a common question that most of the investors ask from their investment advisors is that if SIPs in mutual funds can help them become rich or a Crorepati in long-term?

Well, it does boost wealth in long-term but it requires you to choose the right mode of investment and stay invested for long-term. To start a monthly SIP is one such step. You can enhance your investments annually to meet investment needs as your income grows.

Let’s understand this with a simple illustration:

Let’s say you start a monthly SIP of Rs. 5,000 in mutual funds. Your investment horizon is 20 years and looking at the historical returns you can expect 12% returns in the long run. So, going with a return of 12 percent on monthly 5000 Rupees SIP, the online SIP calculator suggests that one you can get Rs. 49.5 lakhs as a maturity amount. Here, your net investment is only Rs. 12 lakh and wealth gained is more than double.

Even first time investors can create wealth by investing a small amount month. And then increase the amount with an increase in income.

The Benefit of Rupee Cost Averaging

The equity markets have always been volatile. But SIPs in mutual funds avert the risk of market fluctuations. Because you invest a fixed amount every month in mutual funds, investors are able to buy more fund units when the market dips and fewer units when the markets is reviving, which reduces the average cost pre unit. The factor of volatility is reduced, which in turn increases the overall gains. Moreover, there is no need to time the market.

Power of Compounding

SIPs earn you money through the power of compounding. Investing a small amount of money for a longer duration can get you good returns. By investing a small amount at regular intervals you can build a large corpus and meet your long-term financial goals.
