Long-Term Investment: There are many investment options available in the market for Indian investors. Investors choose between these options based on their needs and preferences. Some choose safe investments, while others choose investments based on market risk.
If you're looking for a plan that offers good returns over the long term, you might consider investing in the Public Provident Fund (PPF) and mutual fund SIPs. Let's explore where you can expect higher returns from these two options...
Mutual Fund SIP
If investors are planning to build a large corpus by investing small amounts over a long period of time, mutual fund SIPs can be a beneficial investment option. This investment offers the benefit of compounding.
Broadly speaking, if market conditions remain favorable, investors can earn an average annual return of 12%. However, mutual fund SIPs are subject to market risks, so returns can fluctuate.
Public Provident Fund
Like SIPs, this is also preferred by investors with a long-term investment horizon. The Public Provident Fund has a maturity period of 15 years. In terms of interest rates, investors earn 7.1% interest on their investments.
SIP vs. PPF
If a person makes a monthly SIP of Rs. 10,000 for 15 years, their total investment will amount to Rs. 18 lakh. At an assumed return rate of 12%, this amount could grow to approximately Rs. 47.59 lakh. This means a potential profit of approximately Rs. 29.59 lakh over the long term.
Meanwhile, if you deposited the same amount in PPF for 15 years, your total investment would be ₹18 lakh, and the fund would be worth approximately ₹32.54 lakh at maturity. This means you would earn a total profit of ₹14.54 lakh.
