Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q. What is a Lumpsum Investment?
A lumpsum investment is a single, complete payment made at one time, rather than spreading it out over installments like a SIP.
Q. How is Lumpsum return calculated?
Lumpsum returns are calculated using the compound interest formula: A = P(1 + R)^N, where P is the Principal amount, R is the annual interest rate, and N is the number of years.
Q. Which is better: SIP or Lumpsum?
If you have a large amount of capital upfront and a long-term horizon, lumpsum can yield higher absolute returns. SIP is better for salaried individuals who want to invest small amounts periodically and benefit from rupee-cost averaging.
