What is a lumpsum investment?
There are two main ways to invest in a mutual fund. One is through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) and the other is in a lumpsum. A lumpsum investment is a one-time payment into a mutual fund scheme. A sizeable sum of money is typically invested in one go and payments don’t have to be made at regular frequencies as in the case of SIPs.
Lumpsum investments can help investors potentially get the full benefits of the power of compounding when market conditions are favourable. Compounding happens if the returns on an investment, when reinvested, earn further returns. In a lumpsum investment, the entire invested capital gets the opportunity for potential compounded growth from the beginning of the tenure. In the right conditions, this can optimise return potential.
