Ans: Estimating Your Future Corpus: It's a Great Start!
Investing ?25,000 monthly in mutual funds is a smart decision! But predicting the exact amount you'll have in 2031 is difficult. Here's why:

Market Performance: Mutual fund returns depend on market performance, which can be unpredictable. Actively managed funds involve experienced fund managers who try to pick stocks to outperform the market. Actively managed funds come with higher fees compared to passively managed funds.

Time Horizon: You have a long investment horizon (till 2031), which is positive. But even long-term returns can fluctuate.

What We Can Do:

Power of Compounding: Regular investments (SIPs) benefit from compounding, where returns are earned on both the initial investment and accumulated returns. This can significantly grow your corpus over time.

General Idea: We can estimate a potential range based on historical averages, but this won't be a guaranteed amount.

Seeking Professional Guidance:

Personalized Analysis: A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) can consider your investment goals, risk tolerance, and chosen funds to provide a more personalized estimate.
Here's Why a CFP Can Help:

Detailed Calculations: They can use sophisticated tools to factor in historical data, potential growth rates, and inflation to give you a more realistic range.

Risk Assessment: They can assess your risk tolerance and suggest adjustments to your portfolio if needed.

Remember:

Discipline is Key: Sticking to your SIP plan is crucial for achieving your long-term goals.

Regular Review: Review your portfolio (at least annually) with your CFP to ensure it remains aligned with your evolving goals.

It's great that you've started investing early! A CFP can help you refine your plan and potentially maximize your returns by 2031.
