Big dreams? Understand how mutual funds truly work for your long-term financial goals, from retirement to a dream home. Let's get smart!
Forget flashy 1-year returns! For long-term goals, **CAGR** (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) shows real average growth. Consistency over time is key.
Compounding means your earnings earn more! It's a snowball effect. Invest longer, grow exponentially faster. Starting early is crucial for wealth.
Equity (7+ yrs) for growth, Hybrid (medium-term) for balance, Debt (short-term) for stability. Match funds to your *specific* timeline and risk.
1. **Chasing Past Returns:** No guarantee! Look for consistent 5-10 year performance. 2. **Timing the Market:** Stick to SIPs for rupee-cost averaging.
3. **Panicking in Dips:** Markets recover. Selling locks in losses. Stay invested! 4. **Ignoring Reviews:** Check annually to ensure funds still align with goals.
