Growing a huge corpus with a small investment amount seems unlikely, but with a smart and consistent investment plan, it’s possible. The power of compounding plays a crucial role in growing your investment in the long run. Another secret to success is starting early. When you invest early, your money has more time to grow. So, let’s see how you can build a huge corpus with just ₹9,000 invested every month in a systematic investment plan (SIP).
To achieve a ₹6 crore corpus, investors need to invest consistently and benefit from market returns.
For example, Raj, a 25-year-old IT professional, decides to start investing ₹9,000 per month in an equity mutual fund SIP. He aims for a 15% annual return and plans to stay invested for 30 years.
His ₹9,000 SIP turns into a corpus of more than ₹6 crore, thanks to the power of long-term compounding. Even though Raj’s total investment is just ₹32.4 lakh, his money grows nearly 19 times due to long-term compounding.
Now, let’s say Raj decides to increase his SIP contribution to ₹10,000 per month, keeping all other factors the same.
By increasing his SIP by just ₹1,000 more per month, Raj builds ₹70 lakh extra wealth over 30 years.
Here, the key takeaways are that a small increase in monthly investment can lead to a much larger corpus due to compounding and starting early and staying invested for the long term is crucial for wealth creation.
