Why Plan for Your Child's Education?

In India, education inflation is 10-12%, according to multiple studies and reports. This implies that the cost of education is doubling every six years, making investment planning for children’s education crucial. A mutual fund for Child Education can play a key role in building a corpus that can fund education costs in their entirety.

Start Early

The sooner you start investing in a mutual fund, the longer you remain invested through ups and downs, the higher the accumulated corpus will be.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I invest for my child's education?

The exact amount depends on when the funds are required and the estimated cost of education.

 The right mutual fund depends on when you need the money. Equity mutual funds are relatively better for the long term.

Both can be used for investing in mutual funds. Use SIP for disciplined monthly investment while using a lump sum to park money at one time.

MutualFundWala’s children calculator shows the amount you can invest to cover your children’s education expenses.

Not only can you increase the SIP amount later, but you can also instruct the mutual fund to automatically increase the SIP amount (say, every 6/12 months) when you register for the SIP. This is called a step-up SIP.
