SIP Calculator: Rs 1,000 monthly SIP in this fund has given Rs 2.30 crore return since its inception; know what other funds have given

SIP Returns: Monthly data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) time and again shows that investors prefer a systematic investment plan (SIP) to a lump sum in mutual fund investment. Some of the benefits of investing through SIP are that one can invest as little as Rs 100 monthly in a mutual fund. SIP provides the benefit of compounding, where the older your investment becomes, the faster it may grow.

The other advantage is that SIP offers rupee cost averaging, so an investor doesn't need to time the market.

When the market falls, the net asset value of equity mutual funds also falls, as a result of which the investor purchases more NAVs, and when the market falls, they buy fewer. 

The impact of compounding on mutual fund investments is that even if their monthly SIP amount is small, it can help them build a huge corpus in the long run.

One investment of a few lakhs done through SIP may easily generate a few crores in the long run.

Today, we take you through some mutual funds that are quite old and where one's monthly SIP of Rs 1,000 has given up Rs crore since their inception.
