Financial experts usually favour long-term investment strategies when it comes to equity mutual funds because of the power of compounding to build enormous wealth over time. The strongest long investment options are equity-oriented schemes which have over 65% equity allocation and are considered to invest via SIP if your goal is to finance long-run objectives. In comparison to hybrid and debt funds, equity mutual funds have a better potential to generate huge wealth, although being more volatile in the near term. Since a well-diversified equity fund is also more likely to provide consistent growth over the long run, surpassing inflation and the benchmark index, here we have taken an example of 3 equity funds that have turned a monthly SIP of ₹10,000 to over ₹12 lakhs in 5 years.
