SIP Investment Guide

Many people wait for a large sum of money before they start investing. But financial advisors say this wastes time and you lose out on the magic of compounding.

SIP Investment

When you start investing is more important than how much you start with. In his 'X' post, Nitin Kaushik advises investors not to wait until they can invest ₹50,000 a month. He says you should start with whatever small amount you have right now. Starting early gives your money more time to grow.

Step-up SIP

Kaushik explains that a 'Step-up SIP' can do wonders compared to a regular SIP. For example, you start an SIP with ₹5,000 a month and increase your investment by just 10% every year. This means you invest ₹5,500 per month in the second year. If you do this for 30 years with an average annual return of 12%, your wealth could touch nearly ₹6 crore. A small 10% annual hike can take your investment to unbelievable heights.

Small investments

Even a small investment amount can become a huge corpus over time. Kaushik says that if you can save just ₹2,000 a month, it can grow to ₹2 crore in the long run. Similarly, someone investing ₹20,000 a month can build a massive fund of ₹22 crore. The key thing to note here is that disciplined investing and time will grow your wealth.

Smart investing

Many investors think about their big goals and never start investing at all. Kaushik advises everyone to start with the money they have, instead of waiting for a large capital. He stresses on the principle: 'Starting early beats starting big'. Increasing your investment by 10% annually is quite possible even for the middle class. So, he says, understand the value of time and start investing right away.
