Vijay Karanam, Founder of Maha Capital. We dive deep into the world of personal finance, tackling the fundamental question: What is the difference between the Stock Market, Mutual Funds, and SIPs? Are these three concepts the same, or do they represent distinct investment categories?
Why Invest in the Stock Market?
The data shows that the Stock Market offers significantly higher, consistent returns compared to other assets. Over the last 25 years, the Stock Market has yielded a 12% to 15% Compounding Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), whereas Gold and Real Estate typically provided returns around 10% to 10.5% CAGR.
We debunk the misconception that the stock market is confined to locations like Mumbai. The Stock Market is intrinsically linked to our daily lives, influencing everything from the toothpaste (P&G, Hindustan Unilever) and soaps we use, to the cars (Maruti, Tata) and petrol we buy, the ACs we use in the office, and the cement involved in building our homes.
Direct Stocks vs. Mutual Funds
Investors have two main options: investing in direct stocks or investing through Mutual Funds. Mutual Funds act as a crucial safety net and filter. Given the vast number of companies in sectors like FMCG, automotive, and petrol distribution, MFs help determine which profitable companies with growth potential are worth investing in.
With approximately 45 to 46 Mutual Fund companies offering around 3,000 schemes, these funds employ research to select companies from the 6,000+ listed companies that have investment potential. This rigorous research significantly reduces risk for the investor.
• Risk Reduction through Diversification: MFs do not invest in just one or two companies; they may invest in up to 100 companies. Even if 10 companies perform poorly, the strong performance of the remaining 80 to 90 companies compensates for the loss, further reducing overall risk.
• A Vehicle for the Public: Mutual Funds were primarily designed as a vehicle to bring the stock market closer to the general public and the middle class.
• MF Categories: Mutual Funds include categories such as Large Cap Funds, Small Cap Funds, Mid Cap Funds, Thematic Funds, Equity Funds, Debt Funds, and Hybrid Funds.
Understanding Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
The Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method for investing in Mutual Funds. SIP allows an investor to create a folio and mandate regular (daily or monthly) deductions from their salary account for investment.
SIP is highly popular because it enforces discipline. The lack of discipline often causes self-investors to stop after six months or a year. The speaker compares missing an SIP (where nobody calls the investor) to missing an EMI (where CIBIL scores are affected and banks call), noting that an advisor can help maintain this necessary discipline. Maintaining discipline through SIP for five years or more in equity funds is key to wealth creation.
