Top 7 Lump Sum Mutual Funds in India in 5 Years: Top fund has given Rs 5.51 lakh in total on Rs 1 lakh investment

There are two ways to invest money in mutual funds. Lump sum and systematic investment plan (SIP). In lump sum, one invests money in one go, while in SIP, you invest either a fixed amount at regular investment intervals or opt for a step-up SIP, where you systematically increase the amount every year. The lump sum investment is good for long-term investors who want their income to be compounded over the years.

It is also a good option for someone who got a large amount from somewhere, like a bonus, selling land, a gift, or a share of property.

One may also get good returns from a lump sum investment if they invest money when the market is faring poorly consistently.

Many of the mutual funds have been consistent performers in the last five years.

A lot of them have given returns of over 30 per cent in the last five years. Here is a list of the top seven-
