No of installment =24

Amount withdrawn=600,000

Current value=1,990,519

Units left=696.6408

Cumulative units= 55,467.0589

Just take an above example but instead of Mr. Fayda Singh his nephew Mr. Profit Singh (we told you he will be back) had invested the same amount in the same fund. We will look return for the same time period and he is investing this fund in Franklin India smaller companies

Fund here would be.

Amount invested=600,000
