SIP vs. Lump Sum Investments in Mutual Funds

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Indian Money Knowledge

Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) let investors contribute a fixed amount periodically into mutual funds, averaging out market volatility. Lump sum investing involves placing a large amount at once, which can be riskier if markets decline soon after. For many Indian households, SIP is favored for its discipline and affordability, especially among newcomers to the equity market. Knowing when to choose SIP or lump sum can optimize returns while managing risk, a vital lesson for students building early investment habits.
