SIP vs Lump Sum, The Ultimate Guide for First-Time Investors

Two Paths, One Destination, Wealth Creation

New investors often ask: should I invest all at once or bit by bit? Both methods work, but each fits different situations. Let’s decode both, and see how MINTIT helps you choose wisely.

What Is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?

A SIP investment plan lets you invest a fixed amount in mutual funds at regular intervals. Benefits include:

• Rupee Cost Averaging
• Discipline & Consistency
• Power of Compounding

MINTIT automates everything, from selecting the Curated funds for SIP to tracking SIP investment and projected returns.

What Is a Lump Sum Investment?

A lump sum means investing a larger corpus at once, suitable when markets are low or you have surplus cash.
MINTIT helps you analyse historical performance of all mutual funds schemes available & lets you pick the one that suits you the best.
