Individuals who are having a large amount can deposit a significant proportion in Mutual Fund. Lump sum mode of investing is opposite to Systematic Investment plan or SIP mode. One can invest lump sum amount either in fixed Income or Equity Funds depending on their risk-appetite, investment tenure, and investment objective. Though most of the individuals prefer investing in Mutual Funds via SIP yet, there are some advantages of lump sum investing. So, let us understand the benefits of lump sum investing in Mutual Funds.
Some of the benefits of lump sum investing in Mutual Funds are as follows:
By option for lump sum mode, individuals can invest a considerable amount in Mutual Funds. As a consequence, when the Market shows a growth period, then the investment value also increases to a large extent as compared to the value of SIP investment.
Lump sum investment is suitable for individuals who prefer to invest through long-term. Long-term investment in case of lump sum investment can be considered for an approximate investment tenure of 10 years or more. However, for lump sum investment in Debt fund, individuals can also choose to invest for a medium-term tenure.
Lump sum mode is generally convenient for individuals as people who are having a large amount can spread their investments. However, if the investment is done through SIP mode then they have to be careful that the amount is invested at regular intervals.
Whenever investors choose for a long-term investment, they should always look for the market timing. Individuals generally should choose to invest when the markets are already in a slump and is showing growth potentials. In this situation, individuals can earn higher returns through lump sum mode than in comparison to SIP mode. However, if the lump sum investment is done when the markets have already reached a peak, in that case, individuals might end up with a loss.

Lump sum calculator is an instrument that helps individuals to understand how much will be the value of their Lump Sum Investment in Mutual Funds at the end of the investment tenure. The input data that needs to be fed in the calculator include tenure of lump sum investment, amount of lump sum investment, expected the long-term growth rate in the equity markets, expected long-term Inflation rate. So, let us understand the concept of how to use a lump sum calculator.
Lump Sum Investment: INR 35,000
Investment Tenure: 20 Years
Long-term Growth Rate (Approx.): 15%
Long-term Inflation Rate (Approx.): 4%
Expected Returns as per Lump Sum Calculator: INR 2,82,181
Net Profit on the Investment: INR 2,47,181

Thus, the above calculation shows that the net profit on the investment on your investment is INR 2,47,181 while the total value of your investment is INR 2,82,181.
Thus, from the above pointers, it can be said that lump sum mode of investing also has its advantages. However, individuals should be cautious while choosing lump sum mode of investment. They should check whether such mode is suitable for them or not. If individuals are not very comfortable with lump sum mode, then they can choose for STP or Systematic Transfer Plan in which they first invest the lump sum amount in a Liquid Fund and then transfer it systematically to equity fund at regular intervals.
