thebalanced.newsExperts Advise Realistic Expectations and Consistency in SIP Investment Strategies
Financial experts caution that the common narrative of achieving large wealth through fixed monthly SIPs oversimplifies investment realities. CA Nitin Kaushik highlights that inflation and market volatility reduce real returns, urging investors to adopt increasing SIPs and maintain discipline through market cycles. Meanwhile, combining a lump sum investment with a step-up SIP can significantly boost corpus growth, potentially reaching Rs 2 crore in 20 years, provided investors remain consistent even during market downturns.
