Power of Compounding: Investment is a good habit. The sooner it is started, the better the results and the higher the corpus, specially in cases where compounding is involved. But our excuse for not saving and investing money is that I don't save much, so even if I invest small amounts, it will make a big difference in my future financial status. But that's not the case when you invest in financial instruments that provide compound interest, growth, or returns, your small contributions can help you create a large corpus in the long run. This applies to SIP investments in mutual funds, which also provide compound growth.
There are mutual fund schemes that have been around for up to three decades and that have turned small monthly SIPs of Rs 2,000 and Rs 3,000 into multiple crores since their inception.
We will go through the performance of those funds and SIP calculations, but before that, know how compounding works.
Compound growth/interest
Compound interest is interest on your investment that helps grow your investment over time.
E.g., if you have invested Rs 1 lakh in a scheme where you are getting 15 per cent compound growth in a year, your total amount after one year will be Rs 1,15,000.
This amount will become your principal amount for the next year, and you will get a 15 per cent return on Rs 1,150,000 and not on Rs 1,00,000, which was your initial principal amount.
In one or two years, compound growth may not give you significant returns, but if you leave this amount to grow for 20 years, it will become Rs 16.37 lakh.
It will happen because of compound growth.
If you have a simple 15 per cent growth on your investment, your Rs 100,000 will turn into just Rs 4 lakh in 20 years.
