Despite ongoing fluctuations in the stock market, which are also reflected in the mutual fund market, investors aiming to build significant capital are advised to maintain their investments and not succumb to panic from market instability. Investing through SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) over the long term is considered a profitable solution capable of making a person a millionaire if the correct strategy is followed.
The possibility of accumulating over one million rupees is examined, starting with monthly contributions of just 10,000 rupees.
Tensions in the Middle East, caused by the conflict between the US and Iran, have impacted global stock markets, leading to serious losses for some investors. However, most experts advise against stopping SIP during such fluctuations, as it is a long-term investment scheme that has historically yielded substantial profits for investors.
Market experts recommend starting new SIPs even amid volatility. By starting investments with a monthly contribution of 10,000 rupees, one can accumulate a capital of one million rupees, but this requires following a specific formula—using Step-up SIP. This strategy involves increasing the SIP amount by 10 percent or more annually, which ultimately leads to millionaire status.
Consider an example: if you start SIP with a monthly contribution of 10,000 rupees, assuming an annual increase of 10% and an average annual return of 20%, the fund will exceed one million rupees in 13–14 years. Calculations show that thanks to the annual 10% increase, the monthly contribution after 5 years will reach 14,600 rupees, and the total fund volume will be around 1.4–1.6 million rupees. Similarly, after 10 years, the monthly payment will grow to 23,500 rupees, increasing the total deposit amount to 4.5–5.5 million rupees. If this strategy continues, the monthly payment will reach 38,000 rupees after 14 years, and the total capital will be 1 million rupees.
In this one million rupee portfolio, the total amount invested will be approximately 3.8–4.2 million rupees, while the remaining significant portion will be the result of the power of compound interest, which plays a key role in long-term investing through SIP. SIP provided investors with returns within the range of 18–20%, and this return is the factor that allows one to become a millionaire. It is important to note that the calculations are based on the assumption of a 20% return and do not represent a guaranteed amount; the actual return may be higher or lower.
