SIP step up strategy
On how to accumulate ₹1 crore by investing ₹10,000 per month in equity mutual funds, Kartik Jhaveri, Director — Wealth Management at Transcends Capital said, "Normally, it has been found that people invest in mutual funds using monthly SIP. But, they continue investing same monthly amount even when their time horizon is long. My suggestion to such mutual fund investors is to maintain annual SIP or maintain step up in monthly SIP in sync with increase in one's income. For more simple strategy, one can maintain annual step up in monthly SIP."

Highlighting the benefit of SIP step up, Pankaj Mathpal of Optima Money Managers said, "A long term investor enjoys interest on interest, which we call compounding benefit. However, if an investor follows annual step up, this compounding benefit gets maximized."
