Frequently Asked Questions

What is lumpsum investment?
Lumpsum investment means investing a large amount at once in mutual funds, as opposed to SIP where you invest fixed amounts monthly. It's ideal when you have a windfall like bonus, inheritance, or savings.
Is lumpsum better than SIP?
Neither is universally better. Lumpsum can give higher returns if markets rise after investment. SIP averages out volatility through rupee cost averaging. For long-term wealth creation, both work well.
When should I invest lumpsum?
Consider lumpsum when markets are at reasonable valuations (not all-time highs), when you have a long investment horizon (5+ years), or when you're confident about market direction.
How is lumpsum taxed?
For equity funds held >1 year, gains above ₹1 lakh are taxed at 10% (LTCG). For <1 year, 15% STCG applies. Debt funds are taxed at slab rate regardless of holding period.
