What is a Lumpsum Investment?
A lumpsum investment is a one-time investment where you invest a large amount of money at once, rather than investing smaller amounts regularly. This investment strategy allows your money to grow through compound interest over time. For example, if you invest ₹50,000 once and hold it for 10 years at 12% expected annual return, your investment would grow to approximately ₹1.55 lakhs, earning you ₹1.05 lakhs in returns. Lumpsum investments are ideal when you have a significant amount of money available and want to take advantage of market opportunities or compound growth over a longer investment horizon.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lumpsum investment?
▼
A lumpsum investment is a one-time investment where you invest a large amount of money at once, rather than investing smaller amounts regularly through SIP. For example, investing ₹5 lakhs at once in a mutual fund scheme. This strategy allows your entire investment to benefit from compound growth from day one. It's ideal when you have a significant amount available and want immediate market exposure.
Is lumpsum better than SIP?
▼
Both have their advantages depending on your situation:
Lumpsum Advantages:

- • Maximum compounding benefit
- • Lower transaction costs
- • Better in rising markets
SIP Advantages:
- • Rupee cost averaging
- • Disciplined investing
- • Lower risk through averaging
- • Better in volatile markets
Choose lumpsum when you have a large amount available and markets are attractive. Choose SIP for regular disciplined investing.

Good Times to Invest:

Consider Carefully:
