How does the long term planning work?
Ideally this is one of the best ways to secure one’s life. The greater benefits of slow and steady investment are:
• Flexibility to invest less: When the planning is for a longer span of time it is obvious that it will work well even if the amount invested is less. This is so as the amount being saved is for longer period and also the interest obtained will be on the higher side resulting in the ending amount to be on the higher side. This is obviously not possible when the period of investment is less. It is also seen that the mode of interest calculation is also different and yields lesser returns.
• Flexibility to choose return options- When longer period of planning is done, it is obvious that the mode of return can be determined by the investor. This means that one will have the choice to select how and when they want the returns. Whether it can be a onetime payment, savings that can be converted to annuity, or a regular income in the form of pension.
