Invesco India multi cap fund was launched on March 17, 2008. In the past 14 years, the fund scheme has a delivered a return at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.07 percent. This means if someone had invested ₹1,00,000 in Invesco India multi cap fund at the time of launch, the sum would have grown to over ₹11.27 lakh by now.
But the larger return can be pocketed when investment is made regularly via systematic investment plans (SIPs). When you make a small investment regularly for a long time, the investment can grow to a sizeable sum, and towards the latter part of the fund’s tenor; its growth happens at a faster pace than during the earlier part.
Wealth advisors and investment experts often assert that investors are supposed to invest small amounts regularly in order to accumulate large amount of savings to meet their financial goals via SIPs (systematic investment plans).
