Picture yourself standing at the foot of a mountain, eyes set on the peak that lies 1 to 1.25 crores high. The climb is steep, and the time frame of 5 to 6 years might seem short. But with a robust plan and strategic steps, it’s achievable.
Here’s the math of your climb:
To reach a corpus of Rs 1 crore in 5 years, assuming an average annual return of 12% (which is roughly the average long-term return of the Indian stock market), you’d need to invest approximately Rs. 1.32 lakhs every month.
Similarly, to scale to Rs 1.25 crores in 6 years at the same rate of return, you would need to invest about Rs. 1.34 lakhs per month.
That’s quite an uphill climb!
And here’s your climbing gear:
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP):
SIPs are your sturdy climbing boots, helping you make steady progress upwards. They instil discipline and take advantage of rupee cost averaging, which helps mitigate the risk associated with market volatility.
Portfolio Diversification:
Just as a mountaineer carries an array of equipment, diversification ensures you’re prepared for any investment weather. Spread your investments across different asset classes and sectors to mitigate risk and potentially increase returns.
Choose the Right Stocks and Funds:
Different funds and strategies serve different purposes – some help you ascend quickly but with more risk (like equity funds), while others provide a slow and steady climb (like debt funds). Based on your risk tolerance and time horizon, choose the right mix of funds.
Review and Rebalance:
Regularly reviewing your portfolio is like checking your map and compass during the climb. Rebalance if necessary to keep your ascent on track.
Remember, investing is not a race to the top, but a journey to be savored. Take the right steps, stay disciplined, and the peak can be conquered.
