Power of compounding
The knowledge of how the power of compounding works can not only enable investors to build a large corpus in the long run, it can also help them achieve their financial goals if they plan their investment wisely. The power of compounding is a process of adding interest on interest, i.e. the amount of money you invest will generate earnings from both the initial principal amount and the accrued earnings from preceding compounding periods.
What is systematic investment plan (SIP)
A systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method of investment offered by Mutual Funds wherein one can invest a fixed amount in a Mutual Fund scheme at regular intervals like daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly. The SIP amount could be as little as Rs 100 a month. It’s convenient as you can give your bank standing instructions to debit the amount every month.
