Analysis Shows Longer SIPs Provide More Consistent Returns with Reduced Risk

An analysis of 30 years of SIP returns in the Sensex TRI shows that longer investment horizons reduce risk and improve consistency. While three-year SIPs experienced wide return ranges, including losses up to 24.6%, SIPs held for eight years or more consistently yielded positive returns. Longer SIPs offer steadier gains, with 15-year SIPs showing returns between 7.3% and 18.2%. Although shorter SIPs can deliver higher peak returns, longer tenures enhance predictability and lower the chance of negative outcomes.
