   Hi Saji,

   According to the figures given by you, its around 12% absolute return in 15 months, and around 9.5% annualised return, which is similar to fixed income product returns. So stay invested longer to maximize benefit.

   Also, due to the volatality nature of the market, it’s always prudent not to invest lumpsum, and invest systemetically and regularly, may be a fixed ammount every month, by SIP. Or if you fell market has fallen enough then invest more to add more mf units.

   Thanks
   Sumit

   Dear Ramya, by the way from Nov 2013, it’s just 3 months not 15. 🙂

   Thanks

   Dear Ramya, 12.16% is your total gain or CAGR?
   Here CAGR means – Compounded Annual Growth Rate aka compound interest in day to day language.

   Thanks

      Sorry Ashal. I didn’t give enough info.

      The value of the fund now is 86400(75K invested in Nov 2012). That’s how I calculated 12.16% increase. Hope I answered your query.

      Thanks
      Ramya
