This document discusses the benefits of investing in mutual funds over a long period of time through systematic investment plans (SIPs). It provides examples of how a lumpsum investment of Rs. 1 lakh or monthly SIP of Rs. 10,000 invested 15 years ago in diversified equity mutual funds would have grown substantially more than the Sensex. Specific equity funds that have achieved high returns over 10 and 15 year periods are listed with their compound annual growth rates (CAGR). The document emphasizes that even during periods of market volatility, continuing one's SIP is beneficial for long term wealth creation. It suggests that investors should not wait for market conditions to become favorable before investing.
