Market volatility puts lump-sum investing in focus
In short
Market swings put lump-sum investing back in focus. SIP contributions still hit a record ₹32,490 crore in September, but the growth rate slowed.
This matters for mutual fund investors because the pace of new monthly investing is easing even as total money stays high. The reporting does not say what caused the volatility or whether lump-sum investing actually rose.
