Mutual fund investment for retirement planning

A lump sum investment may deliver outstanding results if used for long-term investment planning.

In the short term, market fluctuations (for equity funds) or increasing interest rates (for debt funds) may impact lump sum investment returns.

But in the long term, recovery, stability in interest rates, and compound growth may help create a large corpus from a small investment.

Let's see if you invest Rs 4,50,000 in a mutual fund scheme today, from which your annualised return is 12-14 per cent, here's the estimated corpus you may generate in 30 years.

At a 12 per cent annualised return, the estimated capital gains will be Rs 1,30,31,965, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 1,34,81,965.

At a 13 per cent annualised return, the estimated capital gains will be Rs 1,71,52,154, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 1,76,02,154.

At a 14 per cent annualised return, the estimated capital gains will be Rs 2,24,77,571, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 2,29,27,571.

You can see that in the long run, even 1 per cent extra return can change the investment scenario completely in the long term.

SWP investment for retirement

SWP is often used for retirement planning. In SWP, a retiree invests a lump sum amount in a hybrid or a debt mutual fund.

The investment return may be low, but the main focus is on stability of returns in the retirement phase.

Calculations for story

We will show how a Rs 20,49,999 lump sum investment may generate an estimated retirement corpus of Rs 6,14,17,810 in 30 years at a 12 per cent annualised return.

And how, after paying long-term capital gain tax (LTCG) on the same corpus, one may draw an estimated monthly income of over Rs 3,57,000 for 30 years.

Retirement corpus from Rs 20,49,999 lump sum investment

• Investment- Rs 20,49,999
• Annualised return- 12 per cent
• Estimated capital gains- Rs 5,93,67,811
• Estimated corpus- Rs 6,14,17,810

Income tax on Rs 6,14,17,810 corpus

LTCG will apply to this corpus, where the investor will get an exemption of Rs 1,25,000. After that exemption, the tax rate will be 12.5 per cent.

• Estimated capital gains= Rs 5,93,67,811
• Taxable gains after exemption= Rs 5,93,67,811- Rs 1,25,000= Rs 5,92,42,811
• Total tax at 12.5% rate= Rs 74,05,351.375
• Corpus post tax= Rs 6,14,17,810-Rs 74,05,351.375= Rs 5,40,12,458.625

SWP investment

Rs 5,40,12,458.625 will be our estimated amount for SWP investment.

We may pick a hybrid or a debt fund for SWP investment from where our estimated annualised return is 7 per cent.

• SWP investment amount- Rs 5,40,12,458.625
• Expected annualised return- 7 per cent
• Estimated monthly income- Rs 3,57,250
• Total estimated amount withdrawn for 30 years- Rs 12,86,10,000
• Estimated balance amount- Rs 14,977
