Mutual fund returns are market-linked — not guaranteed. Use 10–12% for equity funds.
What Can ₹3,000/Month SIP Give You?
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is the most accessible way to invest in mutual funds. ₹3,000/month is a good starting point for first-time investors. The power of compounding means starting early matters more than the amount.
At 12% annual returns (historical equity fund average), ₹3,000/month grows significantly over 15–20 years. Remember: mutual fund returns are market-linked — past performance doesn't guarantee future returns.
