With young investors looking for smarter ways to grow their money, Lalit Sharma from Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund discusses on the Outlook Money Podcast how SIPs offer a disciplined and effective approach to long-term investing.
In this episode, you’ll learn that SIPs can be an effective way to invest for long-term goals, how rupee-cost averaging and compounding work in an investor’s favour, and the common mistakes beginners often make when starting SIPs.
When asked by Lalit Sharma how he would convince a 23-year-old Gen Z investor who would rather buy sneakers or the latest iPhone to start an SIP, he highlighted one key advantage: they already have time. While young investors may not have large sums to invest early in their careers, they have time on their side to benefit from the power of compounding.
He also pointed out that SIPs have evolved to suit new-age investors. What once seemed traditional has now become flexible, digital, and designed for today’s generation. According to Sharma, starting small and remaining consistent can help make significant long-term wealth. This episode delivers a simple but powerful message for young investors to start early and let time work for you.
