Investment Contribution: INR 50k/month
Period: 10 years
Total Invested Amount at the end of 10 years: ₹60,00,000
Investment Vehicle: Mutual Funds
Considering this, we need to look into what Mutual Funds provide as returns (pre-tax)
- Index Funds → 12–16%
- Large Cap Funds → 14–18%
- Mid and Small Cap Funds → 16–20%
This is on the back of duration(investment period = 10 years) giving the investment to grow and see the up & downcycles
Expected Final Amount(including profits) through Index Funds@12% → ₹1,16,16,954
Expected Final Amount(including profits) through Large Cap Funds@14% → ₹1,31,04,569
Expected Final Amount(including profits) through Mid and Small Cap Funds@16% → ₹1,48,23,575
Please note, higher returns will come at higher risk.
If you want zero risk, invest in Fixed Deposits or PPF which give between 7–8% returns
Considering this ‘safe’ option, we can expect the returns@8% will be ₹87,04,723
The difference in returns is owing to the concept of ‘Compounding‘

So consider pros and cons before making an investment decision
Hope this helps
All the best
God Bless!
