SIP vs Lumpsum — 2026 में कौन बेहतर? (डेटा से प्रमाणित)

SIP or lumpsum? The honest answer: depends on when you're investing.

SIP कब जीतता है

• Markets are volatile or overvalued — SIP averages your cost.
• You don't have a lumpsum ready — you're investing from salary.
• You're emotionally affected by market falls (rupee-cost averaging keeps you calm).

Lumpsum कब जीतता है

• Markets have just corrected 20%+ — deploying lumpsum captures the rebound.
• You have a long horizon (15+ years) and the money is already sitting idle.

दोनों का सबसे अच्छा

Got a bonus? Park it in a liquid fund and set up a STP (Systematic Transfer Plan) into an equity fund over 6–12 months — you get lumpsum deployment speed + SIP's averaging.
