Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Rule of 72?
The Rule of 72 is a simple formula used to estimate the number of years required to double the invested money at a given annual rate of return. You divide 72 by your annual interest rate. For example, at an 8% return, your money doubles in 72 / 8 = 9 years.
What is a SIP?
SIP stands for Systematic Investment Plan. It is a strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals (like monthly) into a mutual fund, ETF, or stock. It averages out your cost of investing and harnesses the power of compounding.
