BANGALORE: If you receive a lump sum payment as a result of an inheritance or an early retirement buyout package, you need to handle that money properly. Failing to take care of that money the right way could leave you without the funds you need to live on.

The best way to invest that lump sum payment depends on a number of factors, including how you plan to use the money and what your immediate and long-term needs are.

Let’s have a look at some of the ways you can invest your lump sum money:

1. Invest in the stock market

Indian private equities promise satisfactory returns and have more than 365 equity investments firms functioning under it.  Investing in the share market yields higher profits. Influenced by unanticipated turn of market events, stock market to some extent cannot be considered as the safest of investment options. 

Do, remember that even old experienced hands have lost out on massive sums of money with one miscalculation, so tread carefully.
