Mutual Fund SIP: Want to become a crorepati? Investing in a Mutual Fund SIP may help in the long run. Though fraught with market risks, Mutual Fund SIPs come across as one of the most popular investment avenues promising a handsome return in the long run. As compared to government-backed savings schemes like Fixed Deposits and Public Provident Fund (PPF), a well-performing Mutual Fund generally gives a higher rate of return. Mutual Fund SIP lets an investor set aside a fixed amount of money at regular intervals (weekly, monthly, and quarterly) for capital appreciation in the longer run. Here's a look at what it may take to generate Rs 1 crore, Rs 5 crore and Rs 10 crore over a period of 10, 15 and 20 years through Mutual Fund SIP. You can also make such a calculation on online SIP calculators.
