What SIP means
A systematic investment plan invests a fixed amount at regular intervals. It can reduce timing pressure and support disciplined long-term investing.
What lumpsum means
A lumpsum investment deploys a large amount at once. It can benefit more when markets rise soon after investing, but it also has higher timing risk.
How to compare them
