SIP vs Lump Sum — Which is Better?

For most retail investors, SIP is better than lump sum because:

  • Rupee cost averaging — you buy more units when market is low, fewer when high
  • No need to time the market — invest consistently regardless of market level
  • Discipline — automatic monthly investment builds wealth habit
  • Lower average cost — over time, SIP often results in lower average purchase price
