Small Investments to Create Big Wealth

Image
By

“Small Drops Make an Ocean.” The popular proverb looks good for motivation than anywhere close to be a reality to most people. Let me share an open secret with you - equity markets have power to prove this proverb not only to be true but a powerful tool to create wealth. Yes, by investing small amounts (drops of your savings) regularly in stock markets through SIPs in mutual funds, you can make an ocean of wealth. The only condition is that you need to be patient & regular.

 

We analysed SIP performance of all the mutual fund schemes that were available for a period of 15 years, 20 years and 25 years. Let us know what the results are. We have considered only regular plans and actively managed funds for the analysis. We have not considered any ETF, FOF, sectoral or thematic funds. We have considered investing Rs. 1,000/- per month in each individual scheme to calculate the real values. And we have sourced this data from www.advisorkhoj.com

 

15 Years SIP Returns – of the 95 actively managed schemes for this duration across market caps &  industries, 79 schemes generated 12% or more returns and only 3 schemes gave returns below 10%. Average return of the 93 schemes was 14.14%. Value of Rs. 1,80,000/- invested over 15 years was Rs. 9,17,786/- in the scheme giving highest return of 19.7% and Rs. 3,65,634/- in the scheme giving lowest returns of 8.96% in the same period.

20 Years SIP Returns – of the 32 actively managed schemes for this duration across market caps &  industries, 28 schemes generated 12% or more returns and with only one scheme giving single digit return. Average return of the 32 schemes was 15.35%. Value of Rs. 2,40,000/- invested over 20 years was Rs. 24,86,302/- in the scheme giving highest return of 20.14% and Rs. 6,94,335/- in the scheme giving lowest returns of 9.71% in the same period.

25 Years SIP Returns – Similarly of the 23 actively managed schemes for this duration across market caps &  industries, 19 schemes generated 12% or more returns and all schemes giving returns above 10%. Average return of the 23 schemes was 15.7%. Value of Rs. 3,00,000/- invested over 25 years was astonishing Rs. 93,06,581/- in the scheme giving highest return of 22.49% and Rs. 12,39,842/- in the scheme giving lowest returns of 10.03% in the same period.

It requires lot of guts and patience to keep investing for that long period. And these long periods include many such period when markets dropped by over 20% from their values at that point of time. Markets have seen many scams, dot com bubble, subprime crisis, global lockdown due to corona etc. and still flourished because economies despite hiccups enroute, kept marching ahead.

 

Three most important points that emerge from above analysis are:

1.  1. Over long period SIP investments not only gives you positive returns but even the worst scheme has given more returns than a bank deposit for that long tenure.

2.   2.  For different timeframe, different scheme of different category has done better than others.

3.   3.   Difference between schemes giving highest and lowest return is large enough.

 

In view of above we can easily conclude that SIPs are an amazing tool for wealth creation for both small as well as HNI investors. Not only you should start your SIPs but also encourage people around you to start an SIP in equity mutual fund to have decent corpus at the time of retirement. Such people could be your maid, gardner, driver, peon in office, small vendors etc. One can start an SIP with as low as Rs.100/- per month.

 

It becomes pertinent to note that even for SIPs one must invest in portfolio of schemes to earn higher returns than the average if not the highest. And please take care of asset allocation decided based on your goal planning.

 

So what are you waiting for, pick up your phone and ask your InvestmentMitra to facilitate your SIP portfolio investment. Alternatively you may write to info@investmentmitra.com or whatsapp/SMS on 9958447700.

 

Happy Investing!

This Republic Day Write Your Own Financial Constitution

By
“Constitution is not mere a lawyer’s document, it is a vehicle of life and its spirit is always the spirit of Age” – BR Ambedkar A constitution primarily is a document that details the rights, obligations, privileges, duties and responsibilities of the people living within the corridors of, and leading that country. It details the rule of governance. Without a constitution it will be difficult to live like a civilised society. We would be living like in stone-age where “Might was Right” and jungle raj prevailed all over. Like a country, each individual should also have his or his family’s own financial constitution detailing various financial objectives and the process to achieve those financial objectives, rules that will govern the way its finances will be managed etc. This applies to all individuals without exception and is more popularly known as “Financial Plan”. Like a constitution your financial plan should have a Preamble and different schedules. Preamble -

Time or Timing – What is more important with Sensex @ 64K

By
  The Stock Market is the device to transfer wealth from the IMPATIENT to the PATIENT. After swinging in a range for almost one and half years, markets breached their previous peaks and are scaling new one now. Markets have risen by almost over 14% in last three months. Major reason for this sudden rise is the return of FIIs to the Indian stock markets following the fact that India is the fastest growing economy and growing over 6% despite covid, global economic slowdown and geo-political tensions. We invest for long term and everyone knows in the long run markets will go up irrespective of intermittent shocks like scams, dot-com bubble, Lehman crisis, covid or banking troubles in USA etc. Following picture depict the journey of Sensex over 40 years since its inception.   Source; www.thenwsmen.co.in The unfortunate part is we are more concerned about the short term movements of the markets. Every time there is sudden rise or fall in them market we are gripped more by fear and l

“We cannot truly plan, because we do not understand the future- but this is not necessarily a bad news. We could plan while bearing in mind such limitations. It just take guts.”- Taleb:   Propounder of The Black Swan theory. Pessimism that set in March, still persists in our minds. In fact it has deepened with growing number of Covid cases being reported. The largest question ruling our minds today is - Shall we ever be able to overcome it…………..     and if yes by when and how? Have we ever wondered how have the Indian culture survived for so many thousands of years, how come so many Indians who were transported as labourers to many African and European countries centuries ago are now ruling the roost or how come most of the top 20 firms in the world have Indian heading them and so on……….. The only reason to above and many such questions is our “ Ability to Adapt ”. We are fast learner and very quickly adapt to new situation. Indians enjoys six different weather in a yea

Markets Tumbling, Recovering – What to do??

Markets Tumbling, Recovering – What to do?? "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - Chinese proverb. In times like present most people flock towards safety. Most do it because they don’t know how long this doomsday atmosphere will last, some even feeling like there will be No Tomorrow. But hunger for good returns on our investment never ceases. Kin Hubbard satires, "The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket." On investment and earning good money from them, Warren Buffet – the legendary investor says, "If I buy a farm, I don't know whether there's going to be drought next year, but I know that there are not going to be 20 straight years of drought, and I know there's not going to be 20 straight years of great rainfall." It is a proven fact that no matter what, in long term best returns come from stock markets only. And as Seth Klarman says, “The stock mar

Have You Missed Boarding the Bus

  "The market does not trade upon what everybody knows, but upon what those with the best information can foresee" – William Hamilton Russia-Ukraine conflict had clouded the stock markets worldwide giving speculations to the talks like possibilities of third world war, Russia heading for deep financial crisis, energy crisis looming large over Europe etc. With Russia-Ukraine conflict seems getting settled and much to the pleasure of Russia – the Super Power, this has now become a non-player for the markets until some significant deviation happens from the present stance taken by all major countries of the world. Present is the world of instant. We want everything instant and so are our reactions. In the age of internetted social life, dissemination of information is highly fluid. And over 99% of these netizens have mastered the art of forwarding such information without verifying if it’s a news, noise or manipulated agenda of some interested parties.   Most economies in
