Investing Basics – Explained with Examples

🚫Not for experts

Understand SIP, STP, SWP, Asset Allocation & More with simple real-life cases (on request from DM's)

Bookmark if you’re getting started 🧵

SIP – Systematic Investment Plan
STP – Systematic Transfer Plan
SWP – Systematic Withdrawal Plan
Lumpsum Investment
Asset Allocation
Emergency Fund
ELSS – Equity Linked Saving Scheme

SIP – Systematic Investment Plan
You invest a fixed amount every month in a mutual fund.

🧠 Think of SIP like an EMI – but for wealth creation.

✅ Works best for regular income folks
✅ You don’t have to time the market
✅ Builds long-term discipline

📍Example:

A person invests ₹5,000/month in an Index Fund via SIP. After 10 years (assuming 12% CAGR), it grows to ~₹11.6 lakhs

His total investment? Just ₹6 lakhs
Return? ₹5.6L profit without doing anything daily.

Illustration:

🎯 Returns Summary
- Total Investment: ₹1,20,000
- Value at Year End: ₹1,26,837.02
- Gain: ₹6,837.02
- Approximated XIRR: ~12%

STP – Systematic Transfer Plan

STP allows you to move money gradually from one mutual fund to another (usually from debt to equity).

✅ Useful when you have a lump sum amount (like ₹5–10L) but want to avoid market volatility.

🧠 Strategy:

- Park ₹5L in a liquid or ultra short-term fund
- Set up STP of ₹25K/month into an equity mutual fund

This way you avoid investing the entire lump sum at a market high. Also useful when doing goal-based investing

Example

10-month STP table with growth applied:

Debt Fund grows at 6% annual interest
Equity Fund grows at 12% annual interest
₹1,00,000 is initially invested in the debt fund.
₹10,000 is transferred monthly to the equity fund.

I am 35 now,

Below are 15 things I wish I knew at 25 🧵

Invest in yourself — it pays the highest returns.

In the first 10–20 years, your active income (from your skills, job, or business) grows the fastest

Spend time with your parents — after 50, they age faster, and what’s lost can never be regained

Regret lasts forever

Not sure why - people in India like to scam

On my hunt for a new sofa for our newly renovated home, after exploring 10+ options I landed in a local store who promised to provide the design and fabric we wanted. We chose the fabric after exploring 30+ books & brands

With all customisation, the sofa costed a bomb + 2% extra for paying via. Credit card. Finally we agreed the sofa to be delivered on April 3rd

In between, we also planned to get a dining table, hence the store person told they would deliver both by April 7th considering Eid

We were okay with that as we will still get it before my kids birthday. Finally today morning the store person calls and says, we are not getting the fabric that was discussed, i will send you 2-3 books to home - choose an alternative and we will get the sofa done
