    Lumpsum vs SIP: When to Choose What

    Choose Lumpsum When:

    • • You have a large sum available (bonus, inheritance, etc.)
    • • Markets are at relatively lower levels
    • • You have a long investment horizon (5+ years)
    • • You're comfortable with short-term volatility

    Choose SIP When:

    • • You have regular income but no large savings
    • • Markets are at all-time highs (rupee cost averaging helps)
    • • You want to build discipline in investing
    • • You're risk-averse and want to average out costs
