What is Lumpsum?
A lumpsum investment is a one-time deposit into a mutual fund (or any compounding instrument). Unlike SIP, the full amount compounds from day one, which can be powerful in rising markets — and equally exposed in falling ones.
Formula
Standard compound interest formula:
FV = P × (1 + r)^t P = principal (one-time investment) r = expected annual return t = years
