Real-estate or mutual funds ?

Conventionally real-estate in India is considered to be a safer and a productive investment option rather than other asset classes. 
But it makes sense to buy a home or a commercial shop if you are using it for living or you have a business running in your shop. Which means it should suffice the primary need of shelter. 

Equity based mutual funds in terms of investment option have performed well, compared to that of real estate, over the years.

Lets see this with an example.

My friend's dad once bought a flat for investment purpose in the year 2007 for 21Lakhs. It was a cozy little 1-bhk flat situated in the budding areas of Pune. He met me few days back, he said that "yaar, abhi mere flat ki value 50 lakh ho gayi hai, more than double in 10 years" he said it with a smile. I said okay. :)

If you look at it closely then his flat in Pune has generated just 13.8% annually. If his dad would have invested the same amount in a good balanced fund in the year 2007 then his Rs.21,00,000/- would have been Rs.90,78,752/- (HDFC balanced fund) at 15.01% CAGR, which is much more than the value of his flat today at Rs.50,00,000/-.

Why start early, invest regularly and staying invested is important..

The below illustration is to showcase how you need to invest larger sums as you delay your retirement saving and how much it costs you in the long run. The %change is reflected over the previous start age. The calculations are done assuming a rate of return is 12% p.a. CAGR. Assumed rate of return(s) are net of loads and expenses. A delay in 10 years cuts your retirement corpus by more than 50% at every step even though you may invest the same amount over time. ------------------------------------------------- For investments, contact:                Samarth Holdings Address: Office 201, 2nd Floor,                Trade Net Building,               Viman Nagar                Pune.
