Basic Concepts of Investment

Lump Sum vs. SIP

  • Lump Sum: Invest a large amount of money at once.
  • SIP (Systematic Investment Plan): Invest a fixed amount regularly (e.g., monthly).
  • Importance of understanding these concepts for effective investing.

Example of Wealth Accumulation

Case Study: Chandu and Bandhu

    • Invests from age 22 to 41.

Chandu's Investment Strategy (With a Twist)

  • Step-Up SIP: Increase SIP amount annually based on income increment (assumed at 10%).
  • Yearly increment leads to SIP adjustment:
    • Year 1: 15,000/month
    • Year 2: 16,500/month
    • Subsequent years increase by 10%.
  • Final portfolio value at age 42: 3,29,52,007.
