Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a lumpsum investment?

• A lumpsum investment is when you invest a large amount of money at one time, rather than spreading your investment over multiple periods. This approach can be beneficial if you have a significant sum available and want to take advantage of market opportunities or long-term growth potential.

• How does lumpsum investment work?

• You invest a large amount of money in a single transaction, typically in stocks, mutual funds, or other investment vehicles

• Your returns are calculated based on the total investment amount and the investment period
• The investment grows over time based on market performance and the chosen investment vehicle's returns
