“How poor are they that have not patience!” A considerable minority on D-Street had heeded Shakespeare’s warning in Othello – and stuck to their SIPs right through the Covid-induced carnage.
They are now reaping rich rewards.
For the record, investors have earned on an average annualized returns of 13-14% on their SIPs for a period of 5 years. Over three years, the return is even higher at 17-19%. These returns are sharply higher than what would be major losses at the end of FY20, data from NJ wealth investors showed.
