With Nifty index considered as the benchmark, the average annual return of the stock market over the period of last fifteen years, has been around 16%. After taxes, most fixed income instruments after inflation adjusted returns have given a miniscule return.

Equities although risky in the shorter term have proven the potential to provide higher returns. Hence, it's recommended to remain invested in equities with a longer time horizon.
