If an investor invests Rs 6,000 monthly through SIP in a mutual fund and gets a 12 per cent return on this investment, let's see how their investment may grow in 10, 20, 30, and 40 years.
In 10 years, the investment will be Rs 7,20,000, estimated capital gains will be Rs 6,74,034, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 13,94,034.
In 20 years, the investment will be Rs 14,40,000, estimated capital gains will be Rs 45,54,888, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 59,94,888.
