FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a lumpsum investment?+

A lumpsum investment is a one-time, large investment made at once — as opposed to SIP which is spread across months. It is suitable for investing a bonus, inheritance, salary arrears, or any large sum when you have it available.

When is lumpsum better than SIP?+

Lumpsum investing outperforms SIP in bull markets since the entire corpus benefits from growth from day one. SIP outperforms in volatile or bear markets due to rupee-cost averaging. If you have the capital and the market is not overvalued, lumpsum has historically outperformed SIP in flat-to-bull markets.

How does compound interest work on a lumpsum?+

With compounding, your returns earn returns. At 12%, ₹1 lakh becomes ₹3.1 lakh in 10 years, ₹9.6 lakh in 20 years, and ₹30 lakh in 30 years. The acceleration in the later years is the power of compounding — this is why starting early with any amount is critical.
