OK, now that you understand equities a little better, let’s get back to our engineer friend’s investments and see why we made the outrageous claim. 

When he started out in April 2008, he put a total of 40,000 in a top-rated equity mutual fund. Every subsequent year, accounting for a 15% increase in his income, he put in more and more money in that equity mutual fund. You can see in the table below how much each of those amounts have grown to today.

Date of Investment

	Amount Invested (Rs)	Value in October 2015* (Rs)	Multiplication Factor
April 2008	40,000	175,926	4.4x
April 2009	46,000	251,421	5.5x
April 2010	52,900	160,474	3.0x
April 2011	60,835	159,887	2.6x
April 2012	69,960	156,616	2.2x
April 2013	80,454	180,514	2.2x
April 2014	92,522	163,348	1.8x
April 2015	106,401	107,432	1.0x

As you can notice, Equity rewards Patience. The investments in 2008 and 2009 have increased by more than four times. This is what we meant when we said that equities can grow your wealth. If you stick to it long enough, your rewards could go up by 5 times.
