How SIP Compounding Works
Understanding the 4-stage lifecycle of systematic mutual fund investing
Monthly Installment
A fixed amount ($P$) is automatically debited from your bank account every month into selected mutual funds.
Rupee Cost Averaging
You buy more fund units when market prices drop and fewer units when prices rise, averaging unit cost.
Compound Growth
Monthly returns generate additional gains, creating an exponential compounding snow-ball effect over time.
Maturity Corpus
At the end of tenure ($n$), your cumulative invested capital plus total returns form your wealth corpus.
