Have A Large Corpus To Invest? Here’s What 25 Years Of Nifty 50 Data Shows

Putting a large corpus into the equity market can be a difficult decision, particularly when valuations appear uncertain or markets are volatile. An investor can deploy the entire amount immediately through a lumpsum investment or spread the money across several months using a systematic transfer plan (STP). Historical market data suggests that neither approach has delivered a dramatically different outcome over very long periods. However, the timing of deployment can make a bigger difference during shorter and medium-term holding periods, according to the latest 25-year analysis of Nifty 50 Total Return Index data.
