Wealth destruction Faster than Wealth Creation

. Saturday, September 25, 2010

You may think that it is true in general sense but i can prove in mathematically.
Say for example you invested 100 rupees and you lost 25 rupees 
Now you loss is 25% and the net available amount is 75 rupees
Now to grow 75 rupees to 100 rupees, you need to grow it at the rate 33.33%.

So if your Portfolio is down by 25% don’t think that you need to grow by 25% but you need to grow by 33 %


Now this is even more important if you are paying Fees for managing Funds(Mutual Funds, ULIPs, etc.). Below is a table given computing the returns taken just as fees over a period of time(assumed managing fee of 2%)

years % return required
1 2.03
2 4.09
3 6.19
4 8.34
5 10.53
6 12.76
7 15.05
8 17.37
9 19.75
10 22.17
