Frequently Asked Questions
What is lumpsum investment?
Lumpsum investment means investing a large amount of money in one go, rather than spreading it over time. Common in mutual funds, stocks, and fixed income. Best suited for investors with surplus capital like bonus, inheritance, or windfall gains.
What is a good return rate for lumpsum investment?
Expected returns vary by asset: Equity mutual funds: 10-15% historically, Debt mutual funds: 6-8%, Hybrid funds: 8-12%, Fixed deposits: 6-7%. Past performance doesn't guarantee future returns. Higher returns come with higher risk.
Lumpsum vs SIP: Which gives better returns?
In rising markets, lumpsum generally gives better returns as full amount compounds from day 1. In volatile/falling markets, SIP is better due to rupee cost averaging. For most investors, SIP is safer and more disciplined approach.
When is the best time for lumpsum investment?
Best during market corrections or bear markets when valuations are low. Avoid investing at market peaks. If unsure about timing, consider Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) - invest lumpsum in liquid fund, transfer to equity fund monthly.
What is minimum amount for lumpsum investment?
Varies by mutual fund: Most equity funds: ₹5,000 minimum, Some funds: ₹500-₹1,000, No maximum limit. However, lumpsum makes sense for larger amounts (₹1 lakh+). Smaller amounts better suited for SIP.
How is lumpsum return calculated?
Formula: FV = PV × (1 + r)^n. Where FV = Future Value, PV = Present Value (investment), r = annual return rate, n = years. Example: ₹1L at 12% for 5 years = ₹1,76,234. Returns compound annually.
Is lumpsum investment risky?
Higher timing risk than SIP as entire amount invested at once. If invested at market peak, may see negative returns initially. Mitigate by: investing for long-term (5+ years), diversifying across funds, using STP if unsure about timing.
Can I withdraw lumpsum investment anytime?
Yes, open-ended mutual funds allow withdrawal anytime. ELSS funds have 3-year lock-in. Exit load may apply if withdrawn before 1 year (typically 1%). Gains taxable: Long-term (>1 year): 10% above ₹1L, Short-term: 15%.
