How one can plan it
If one starts their investment journey early in life and does it consistently, they can create a large corpus even if they start investing with a small monthly amount. But a late beginner either has to invest a large amount or has to invest till a ripe age to achieve the same retirement corpus target.
How it becomes possible
It is possible because in mutual fund SIP investment, one gets the advantage of compounding. Since they invest a fixed amount at a fixed investment cycle and purchase net asset value (NAVs) at different rates, they get different numbers or units. If they stay for a long time in their investment, they get more compounding on their SIP investment.
How it helps in creating retirement corpus
If one starts with a small monthly investment, the compounding starts showing its impact after a few years, but once they stay in this investment for 15 years or over, compounding shows more impact. As a result, the accumulated corpus rises faster.
How Rs 5,000 SIP can give Rs 8.18 cr corpus to 40-year-old
The investment will be started by the parent/guardian at the person's birth. Once the person attains 25 years of age and starts earning, they take over this investment and continue investing for the next 15 years. So, the total number of investment years will be 40. The investment will be in the direct growth plan of an equity mutual fund, where the expected rate of annualised return will be 13 per cent.
