National Pension Scheme (NPS) Returns for Tier 1 & Features of NPS

If you're looking to maximise investment returns while securing your retirement, the National Pension Scheme (NPS) can be an excellent option. It is a government-backed scheme that provides a long-term retirement solution. NPS facilitates long-term wealth accumulation and has a robust track record of delivering high returns.

In this article, we'll delve into NPS's historical performance to see how it has consistently outperformed many traditional investment options.

Features of National Pension Scheme (NPS)

1. Equity exposure

One of the key features of NPS is its exposure to equity investments. Equities have historically delivered superior growth, making this an excellent feature for investors looking to enhance their investment returns over time.

2. Debt stability

NPS allows investors to balance the high risk of equity investments with debt investments, which include Government Securities and Corporate Bonds. This ensures investors can benefit from the high returns of equities while enjoying the safety and steady income from debt instruments.
