Know how your money will grow over time
Mutual Fund Lumpsum / SIP calculator may provide potential investors an approximate estimate based on the investment duration entered / based on the maturity amount of the monthly SIP, purely on mathematical calculation of the projected annual return rate selected by investor. However, such calculation does not factor the actual performance by the Asset Management Company (AMC) and should not be treated as any advice or assurance about the actual return of investment. Hence, please note that the actual returns offered by a specific mutual fund scheme will vary depending on various factors including but not limited to actual performance, expense ratio, taxation, exit load (if any), etc.
Understand the differences between SIP vs Lumpsum in mutual funds
Investing in mutual funds is a strategic decision that can be tailored to fit various financial goals and investment styles. Here are two common methods to invest in mutual funds.
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows investors to contribute a fixed amount of money regularly into a selected mutual fund. This method is favoured for its financial discipline, allowing for investment in smaller, manageable sums while benefiting from the power of compounding and rupee-cost averaging. SIPs are particularly appealing for long-term investors looking to build wealth gradually without the stress of timing the market. To learn more about SIP, read our detailed guide on "What is SIP?".
Investing a lump sum amount in a mutual fund is another approach where a significant amount is invested all at once. This method is suitable for investors who have a substantial amount of money ready to be invested and are confident about the market's prospects. Lump sum investments are advantageous during periods of low market valuations, potentially leading to substantial gains as markets recover.
Learn all about the three main types of Mutual Funds
Equity mutual funds invest primarily in stocks and are categorised based on the market capitalisation of the companies they invest in, aiming for growth by capital appreciation.
Large cap funds primarily invest in companies with large market capitalisations that are generally industry leaders. They are known for stability and steady returns.
Mid cap funds primarily invest in companies with large market capitalisations that are generally industry leaders. They are known for stability and steady returns.
Small cap funds primarily invest in companies with large market capitalisations that are generally industry leaders. They are known for stability and steady returns.
Multi cap funds primarily invest in companies with large market capitalisations that are generally industry leaders. They are known for stability and steady returns.
Debt mutual funds invest in fixed-income securities such as Corporate and Government Bonds, corporate debt securities, and money market instruments etc. that offer capital appreciation. They are preferred by investors looking for lower risk compared to equity funds.
Invest in short-term debt instruments. Ideal for investors seeking liquidity with a low-risk appetite.
Focus on corporate debt securities. Generally, they offer higher returns than government securities, reflecting the higher risk.
Invest in securities with a one-day maturity, offering high liquidity with very low risk.
Liquid mutual funds primarily invest in debt and money market instruments with up to 91 days maturity, providing high liquidity and safety.
Hybrid funds combine equity and debt investments, offering a diversified investment option.
Primarily invest 65-80% in stocks and 20-35% in debt, targeting higher returns with moderated risk
These funds are mandated to distribute a minimum of 10% of their assets across at least three distinct asset classes. These funds typically combine equities, debt instruments, and an additional asset category such as gold or real estate.
Dynamic asset allocation funds employ an active investment strategy, adjusting their portfolio composition between 30% and 80% in equities and 20% to 70% in debt instruments.
Capitalise on the price differences in different markets, aiming for lower-risk returns.
Beginning to invest in mutual funds on platforms like Bajaj Finserv can be a straightforward process that opens up a range of investment opportunities.
Start by registering and setting up an investment account on the Bajaj Finserv platform.
Complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process.
Review various mutual fund schemes available on the platform. Consider factors such as fund type, performance history, and management.
When deciding how to invest, think about whether a lumpsum or a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) suits your financial goals and what you are comfortable investing. A lump sum is great if you have a large amount ready to invest, while a SIP allows you to invest smaller, regular amounts over time.
Once invested, regularly monitor the performance of your mutual funds. Adjust your investments as needed based on performance and changing financial goals.

A mutual fund is a financial entity that collects funds from multiple investors and allocates them across various assets, including stocks, bonds, and short-term securities. The collection of these investments forms the fund’s portfolio. When individuals invest in a mutual fund, they purchase shares, which signify their proportional ownership in the fund and entitlement to any returns it generates.
Mutual funds collect money from several investors and invest it in various assets like stocks, bonds, or other securities.

Depending on the fund type, they can provide stable returns, long-term growth, or passive income. However, returns are subject to market risks, so choosing funds based on your financial goals is important.
There is no fixed SIP that guarantees a 40% return, as mutual fund returns depend on market performance. Equity mutual funds, particularly small-cap and sectoral funds, have delivered such returns in bullish markets. However, these high returns come with higher risk. It is crucial to analyse historical performance and invest based on risk tolerance and long-term goals.
Yes, mutual fund units can generally be sold anytime. In open-ended funds, you can redeem your investment at the current Net Asset Value (NAV). However, some funds, like ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Scheme), have a lock-in period. Also, exit loads may apply if you sell within a specified time, affecting your overall returns.
Mutual fund investments are not entirely tax-free. Equity funds attract 10% tax on long-term capital gains (above Rs. 1 lakh) and 15% on short-term gains. Debt funds are taxed based on income tax slabs. However, ELSS funds offer tax benefits under Section 80C, allowing deductions of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh annually, making them a tax-efficient option.
