Frequently asked questions
What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?
A SIP allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (usually monthly) in a mutual fund scheme. It instills financial discipline and benefits from rupee cost averaging and compounding.
What is the formula used for SIP calculations?
The future value of a SIP is calculated as M = P × [((1 + i)^n - 1) / i] × (1 + i), where P is the periodic investment, i is the monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12 / 100), and n is the total number of monthly payments.
What is the difference between SIP and Lumpsum?
In a SIP, you invest a fixed amount periodically across market highs and lows. In Lumpsum, you invest your entire corpus at once. SIP reduces timing risk, while lumpsum can yield higher returns if invested during market dips.
What is a realistic expected return rate for mutual funds in India?
Historically over 7–10 year horizons, Indian large-cap index funds (Nifty 50) have delivered 12%–13% CAGR, while diversified flexi-cap and mid-cap funds have generated 13%–16% CAGR. Fixed deposits and debt funds typically yield 6%–7%.
Are mutual fund SIP returns guaranteed?
No. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Returns fluctuate based on underlying equities and economic conditions. Calculators provide indicative projections based on your assumed return rate.
