While investing through SIP method SIP benefits of Rupee Cost averaging are reaped as it scatter purchases every month and invest is made at an average price rather than at particular price which might be the case with Lumpsum Investments.
Lumpsum Investment in ELSS
As one might be saving in other tax saving intruments like ULIP, NSC, PF/EPF, insurance (under Sector 80c) one can decide whatever amount is needed to save tax after deducting other instruments and invest as Lumpsum purchases over the year or one time near end of Financial Year (Jan - Mar).
Tips to Invest in Best Tax Saving ELSS Funds
Invest in best ELSS Funds via a SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) in the beginning of the financial year (i.e. in April) and not when the financial year is ending.
Choose an ELSS Mutual Fund carefully among the list of best ELSS Funds, and invest in the same for a year instead of jumping to other tax saving ELSS funds every year.
Good ELSS returns can be achieved when invested for 5-7 years, so it is suggested not to pull out money once your lock-in ends after 3 years. Try holding it for a longer duration to earn better returns.
If you are a risk-averse investor and want a less-volatile fund, consider investing in a large-cap Mutual Fund.
