Make Your Money Work Harder Than You Do
TheWealth Creation Imperative
India's Savings Challenge:
- Average Indian household saves only 12% of income
- 75% of savings still go into bank FDs earning 3-4% annually
- Real returns (after inflation) from FDs: Often negative
- Only 2.2% of Indians invest in equity markets
Cost Reality Check:
- ICU charges in Mumbai: ₹8,000-25,000 per day
- Heart surgery: ₹3-8 lakhs
- Cancer treatment: ₹10-50 lakhs
- Knee replacement: ₹2-5 lakhs
- Normal delivery in private hospital: ₹50,000-1.5 lakhs
Why Mutual Funds Are Your Best Wealth Creator
Historical Performance Data:
- Equity mutual funds: 12-15% average annual returns over 15+ years
- Debt funds: 7-9% annual returns
- Hybrid funds: 10-12% annual returns
- SIP discipline reduces market volatility impact by 40-60%
The Power of Compounding:
- ₹5,000 monthly SIP for 20 years @ 12% = ₹49.95 lakhs (investment: ₹12 lakhs)
- ₹10,000 monthly SIP for 15 years @ 12% = ₹37.29 lakhs (investment: ₹18 lakhs)
