30 years SIP: How have MFs built wealth for long term investors
Mutual funds are a power vehicle to participate in the equity markets. Well-managed schemes have proved with their long-term track records that wealth can be built over the long term
The equity market has never failed patient long-term investors. Well-managed mutual fund (MF) schemes have proved with their long-term track records that wealth can be built over the long term. The power of compounding works in favour of long-term investments. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) are one of the most popular ways to invest in MFs. SIPs help inculcate financial discipline and build wealth over the long run. It helps to take advantage of market volatility through rupee-cost averaging. Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund (formerly known as Kothari Pioneer) introduced the first SIP in India in 1993.
There are 14 equity-oriented schemes (including equity-linked savings schemes, or ELSS, and balanced funds) that have completed 30 years in the Rs 65 lakh crore Indian MF industry. Here is the list of equity diversified funds that multiplied investors' money through SIPs over the last 30 years. Schemes that are approaching their 30-year mark, like ICICI Pru Multicap and Franklin India Flexi Cap, are also taken into consideration. Tata Large & Midcap, Tata Midcap growth and Taurus Flexicap are excluded as their NAV history is available only from 1996. Performance of these schemes cannot be compared as they each use a distinct investment strategy. Data source: ACEMF
