Power of Compounding: With a planned and strategic approach, anyone can make their post-retirement life financially stable. Even a modest sum of Rs 13,000 per month can accumulate into substantial wealth over time if invested strategically, such as in SIP mutual funds. A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a market-linked long-term investment option that allows investors to invest a fixed amount in mutual funds. There is no lock-in period, and one can start investing with as low as Rs 500 per month. Also, there is no maximum limit for investing in a SIP mutual fund.
