Dreaming of your child's US education? Discover how a Step-up SIP can turn that dream into reality, but first, let's get real about the numbers.
Today's ₹50 Lakhs won't be enough. US undergrad costs ₹1.6-₹2.4 Cr today. Factor in 6-8% education inflation & rupee depreciation. Your goal is closer to ₹1.5-₹2 Cr in 12 years!
A Step-up SIP lets you increase contributions annually, aligning with salary hikes. It dramatically boosts your corpus compared to a flat SIP, making ambitious goals achievable over time.
Even with a 10% step-up, Rahul's ₹15k SIP reached ₹70-80L, not ₹1.8 Cr. To hit ₹1.5 Cr in 12 years, you might need an initial SIP of ₹45k-₹50k with a 10% step-up.
For 12 years, choose equity funds (Flexi-cap, Large/Mid Cap) for initial growth. As you near the goal (3-5 yrs), shift to Balanced Advantage funds, then debt funds (last 1-2 yrs) to de-risk.
Avoid underestimating inflation, starting too late, or investing too conservatively. Stick to your plan during market volatility and always use a step-up SIP for consistent growth.
