Here’s How A Small Step Can Increase The Potential of Your SIP

Small Additions, Big Gains – Increase Your SIP today

It’s a known fact, SIPs are hands down one of the most preferred investment options. The biggest reason why mutual fund investors choose Systematic Investment Plans to achieve their financial goals is that it allows them to create wealth by investing small amounts regularly. This way SIPs help investors to invest for multiple financial goals simultaneously.

However, is there a way to increase the potential of SIPs to gain more wealth in the same duration?

A Small Additional Investment Can Lead to Large Gains

When you modify your SIP amount and increase it yearly, it makes a noteworthy impact on the future value of your corpus, and fuel your SIP’s growth.

This will not only help you invest more but be a game-changer for your wealth creation journey.

Let us see an example of how a small increase in your SIP each year at an assumed rate of return of 10% could potentially perform vs a static SIP.

The table above is for illustration purposes only. Investments through SIP is subject to market risk and do not assure a profit or returns or protection against a loss in downturn market.

Thus, by incrementally increasing your SIP by 10% every year, your corpus could increase by 47% during the same period.

The Power of Compounding

As seen in the table above, a regular incremental rise in your SIP amount might not burn a hole in your pockets but could very well help you reach your goals faster or build more wealth.

If you choose to modify your SIP every year by adding 10% & your first year’s contribution is Rs. 10000/- then moving forward your second year’s SIP amount would be Rs. 11000 and Rs. 12100 for the third year and so on. And then let the power of compounding do its magic.

It's the Power to Compound. Simply put, the power of compounding means earning returns on the returns you have earned on your SIP amount, which grows over time. Albert Einstein referred to the power of compounding as the 8th wonder of the world. The thumb rule being, start early and stay invested for the long-term.

Cope better with Inflation

With the wide swings in the equity market, it is easy to lose perspective on your long-term goals and be tempted to lock in short-term returns. But most tend to ignore the inevitable risk of the future which is Inflation. Inflation eats away at our purchasing power in small ways. An incremental increase in your SIPs, helps you cope better with Inflation and retain the future value of your corpus. Let’s understand the impact of the future cost of Rs. 100,000, 25 years down the line.

Make it a Practice to Increase your Investment Annually

An SIP lets you act decisively and inculcate discipline when it comes to doing the right thing with your hard-earned money – investing it via a mutual fund. Once you start an SIP, a fixed amount of your money gets invested every month in the fund that you chose. To level up your discipline and make SIP investments work for you, all you have to do is initiate an increase in your online SIP amount at the end of every year.

It’s time to make your money matter the most, make it work for you. Remember, the secret sauce of smart investing is in the smaller details we usually miss out on.

A small increase every year could work wonders.
