Wealthy people look to invest heavily. However, the middle class and daily wage earners cannot invest heavily. For such people, SIP (Simple Investment Plan) is a good idea. Such are mutual funds. If you invest Rs.5,000 per month in an equity mutual fund, you can get good returns in the long term. The interest rate for this is also good.
To get a 12% growth rate in equity mutual funds, you need to invest for at least 20 years. That means if you invest Rs.5,000 per month for 20 years, you can get almost Rs.50 lakhs. Your investment in this is only Rs.12 lakhs. The rest is all profit.
If you invest Rs.10,000 per month in this equity mutual fund for 20 years, you can get Rs.1 crore as a return with a 12% interest rate.
