Don't Stop Your SIP Before Watching This!

In the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the Nifty crashed 58%. If you had started a ₹10,000 monthly SIP at the absolute market peak, January 2008, what would have happened to your money? The answer will surprise you. The cost of pausing that SIP for just 7 months will shock you. In this video, Vijai Mantri (30+ years in the investment business across PMS, mutual funds, AIFs and international investing, former Vice President at HDFC Mutual Fund, former CEO of two asset management companies, currently managing over ₹750 crore for individuals and families) uses actual Nifty 50 data to answer the question everyone is asking right now: should you continue your SIP when returns look bad? What you'll see in this video: 1. The Worst-Case SIP Test - starting a SIP at the January 2008 peak, right before a 58% crash. 2. The Real Engine - when markets fell, each installment bought more than double the units, crashing your average cost. 3. The Cost of Panic - miss just 7 installments during the fall, and your break-even shifts from June 2009 to January 2014. Seven missed installments = 4.5 extra years of waiting. 4. The Core Formula - Wealth = Units × Price. When price falls, units rise. An SIP investor wins both ways.
