Age and time don't matter in mutual fund investment. You can start investing at any age. In mutual funds, you can either do SIPs or can also opt for one-time (lump sum) investments. A lump sum investment is a one-time investment in which you invest a large sum into mutual funds. This differs from a systematic investment plan (SIP), which entails investing smaller sums over time.
