If you invest ₹2,00,000 every year for 5 years into HDFC Life Sampoorn Nivesh Plus and then leave it till age 60, that money can grow substantially. But it won’t be easy or risk-free. Below is a chart showing what the growth might look like under different market return scenarios — and then what risks might stop you from hitting the high end.
These numbers assume you choose good funds (large, diversified, mid-cap tilt but not all midcap), stay invested without major withdrawals, rebalance annually, and that past return trends continue to some degree.
What Could Derail Hitting ₹1.1-1.5 Crore
Even with good planning, there are things that could push you below that goal. Be aware of these risks:
- Major Market Correction Early On
If mid-caps drop heavily just after you’ve invested, the fund value will fall a lot. It may take years to recover. Since much of the growth comes in early years and compounding, that hurts a lot. - Volatility & Sideways Periods
If equity markets stagnate for 5-10 years (especially midcaps), you may get returns more like 5-8% rather than 10-12%. That drags the compounding heavily. - High Charges / Poor Fund Performance
Even small differences in fund management charge (FMC), switching costs or underperforming styles reduce net CAGR. If you pick funds with less consistent track record (Discovery, small-cap heavy) without checking downside risk, that adds risk. - Wrong Allocation or Lack of Rebalancing
If everything is in mid or small cap, you’re high risk. If you forget to rebalance when funds get overheated, you end up buying at highs and losing more in corrections. - Life / Mortality / Policy Charges
Mortality charges (life cover), admin charges, premium allocation charges—these reduce your investible amount. They matter most early on when the fund is small. - Legislative / Tax Changes
Rules for ULIP tax exemption, premium thresholds etc. can change. If tax laws become less favorable, that affects your net return.
What to Do to Increase Chances of Hitting ₹1.1-1.5 Crore
To make it more likely that you reach the good range:
- Mix safely: Use a split like 40% BlueChip, 30% Diversified, 30% Flexi Cap (or similar). This gives you stability + growth potential.
- Switch partly into less risky funds before you turn ~55–58 (balanced/dynamic advantage funds) so you lock gains.
- Don’t try to time perfectly — start investing steadily, and if you see markets very overvalued, you can stage purchases.
- Watch fund performance — don’t just chase 1-year gains; check 5- or 10-year CAGRs, how they performed in bad years.
- Rebalance yearly so the portfolio doesn’t get too heavy in one hot fund.
Yes — turning ₹2 lakh per year for 5 years into ₹1.1-1.5 crore by age 60 is a realistic mid-to-bull case projection in Sampoorn Nivesh Plus, given historical returns of HDFC ULIP equity funds. But the downside (slow growth, big corrections) is real. If you plan with the right fund mix, accept a bit of risk, and manage over years, hitting that number becomes much more likely.
