Capital Cresta connects you to India’s equity markets through SMC Global Securities Ltd. We help you open your account, keep you informed and place your orders. Every rupee stays in your name, and every decision stays yours.
Inflation takes a small share of your cash’s buying power each year. Over a decade it adds up. Move the sliders to see what your savings will really be worth.
Simple illustration of inflation’s effect on cash held without any return. Actual inflation varies year to year.
A fixed monthly investment, left alone, can grow on its own growth. The longer it runs, the more the curve bends. Waiting has a price too.
The return is an assumption you choose. It is not a forecast or a promise. Equity returns vary and can be negative.
