Consistency pays overwhelmingly high returns in the world of investing which means a regular stream of investment — albeit in small quantities — reaps great dividends.
The returns on investment get amplified when the investment is made on a regular basis via systematic investment plans (SIP).
Here we showcase the power of compounding with the help of an illustration of Tata Equity PE Fund which has delivered an annualised return of 17.37 percent in the past 10 years, shows Value Research data.
Tata Equity PE Fund is a value mutual fund, which is a category of mutual funds that are mandated to follow value investment strategy, with at least 65 percent investment in stocks. Value funds identify stocks that are currently undervalued but are expected to perform well over time as the value is unlocked.
