Save Monthly: Save Automatically Every Month
With a monthly savings plan, you do not have to worry about timing the market. Save automatically in funds and give your money a chance to grow over time. Even small amounts can make a big difference over the long run.
Saving in funds involves risk.
Why Should I Save Monthly in Funds?
- Automatic Growth: The saving manages itself automatically. Regular deposits allow your savings to grow continuously.
- Compound Interest: With the compound interest effect, your returns generate their own returns, accelerating your growth.
- Lower Risk: Monthly savings provide excellent risk diversification. By spreading out your fund purchases over time, you buy in both rising and falling markets, reducing the impact of short term stock market fluctuations.
If you plan to save for more than three years, we highly recommend saving in funds. If you need the money within 3 years, one of our savings accounts with free withdrawals suits you best.
Calculate How Your Savings Can Grow
Setting aside a small amount of money every month makes a massive difference over decades. Here are examples of how much your capital can grow in a fund that returns an average of 7% per year:
| Monthly Savings | 5 Years | 10 Years | 15 Years | 20 Years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 SEK | 14,320 SEK | 34,404 SEK | 62,573 SEK | 102,081 SEK |
| 500 SEK | 35,799 SEK | 86,009 SEK | 156,432 SEK | 255,203 SEK |
| 1,000 SEK | 71,598 SEK | 172,019 SEK | 312,864 SEK | 510,406 SEK |
Protect Your Savings Against Inflation
If you have saved the exact same amount monthly for a long time, the actual purchasing power of those savings decreases in value over time due to inflation. As the price of goods and services increases, you do not get as much for your money.
To maintain the exact value of your monthly savings over time, you must periodically increase your monthly deposit amount. Have you recently received a salary increase or reduced your living expenses? Take the opportunity to increase your savings.
