FAQ

Lumpsum Calculator FAQs

What is lumpsum investment in mutual funds?▼

Lumpsum means investing a single large amount in a mutual fund at once, as opposed to SIP which spreads investment monthly. For example, investing your year-end bonus of ₹2L in a flexi cap fund in one transaction. Lumpsum benefits when you invest at market lows and hold long-term.

Is lumpsum better than SIP?▼

Academically, lumpsum beats SIP when markets are steadily rising — because all the money earns returns from day 1. But in volatile markets or at market peaks, SIP's rupee cost averaging outperforms. For most retail investors without market timing expertise, SIP is safer and more disciplined. Use lumpsum for windfall amounts (bonus, inheritance).

What is CAGR in lumpsum investment?▼

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the annualized return on a lumpsum investment. Formula: CAGR = (Final Value / Initial Value)^(1/years) – 1. Example: ₹1L grows to ₹3.1L in 10 years → CAGR = (3.1/1)^(0.1) – 1 = 12% p.a. CAGR is more meaningful than absolute return for comparing performance across different time periods.
