Important Note

In a consistently rising market, lumpsum investing typically outperforms SIP because all your capital is deployed from Day 1. However, SIP offers rupee cost averaging during volatile markets, reducing the risk of investing at a market peak. For most investors, SIP is preferred because it aligns with regular income patterns and reduces timing risk.
