Small Wins (2x’d my MF Portfolio)

The power of compounding really works! Started with a meagre salary of 4L/annum in 2018. But made sure to SIP 5K every month in Mutual Funds, and kept on increasing with career progression. This could’ve been more but I wasn’t able to regularly SIP during the two years of my masters I did after my first job.

This may not be as much as the other tech dude bros out here sitting in CRs but this is a big milestone for me and all I’d like to say is SIP really does work and it’s all about being in the long run. Onwards and upwards only now 💪🏼💪🏼

Well, it’s a mix of about 15-16 different funds ranging from Large Cap/Small Cap/ Mid Cap/ ELSS.
I won’t name all but the top performers:-

  1. Nippon India Small Cap Fund Growth
  2. SBI Bluechip Fund Growth
  3. Paragh Parikh Flexi Cap
  4. Quant Small Cap
  5. Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund
  6. Kotak Infrastructure & Economic Reform Fund
  7. Nippon India Growth Fund Direct Growth
  8. HDFC Retirements Savings Fund Equity Plan Direct Growth

I also have a better risk appetite so there’s a good amount of Small Caps/Mid Caps, but this might vary for others.

How did you start doing SIP since 2018? Were you earning via side gigs?

Sorry to bust your bubble, but absolute returns don't mean anything. You can wait a 100 years and get 2x. What matters is XIRR. Annualised returns. 17% is average performance. Ideally you should Target 25%+

Hence I mentioned a small win and I acknowledge that. The ELSS and Debt Funds have brought down the XIRR, otherwise it should be close to that. Regardless, being a qualified CFA I don’t think 17%+ XIRR is average :)

Good Work bro. Could you post an update to XIRR return if you remove the debts funds. I want to see the equity XIRR.

Is this just from ur salary? I guess u don’t have a lot of expense or high salary from few years back. Only top 1% would have better investments than u in same timeline & age. So props to u to keep at it. How much do u invest monthly now?

PrancingCoconut
PrancingCoconut

Yep this is pure from salary. And true I don’t have a lot of expense since I put up with my parents, as for my salary - I’d say it’s pretty average. 25k/month is what I put in every month just in MF, honestly it’s not that much at all :)

Ur discipline to keep at it is impressive and ya not having to take any of it out helps the growth. Cool, how did u decide what to raise ur SIP by? Some factor or impromptu

Yup, that really gave a lot of boost. Plus being at home I had no expenses so was able to invest extra.
