Scenerio 1- I invest 5000 for a MF. Next month i topup 10000. Next month i topup 5000 more. Not Sip but lumsum topup. Thats it. Total 20000 invested.

Scenerio 2- I invest 20000 at one go. No more topup for that MF.

There is no correct answer to your question (Investments are subjected to market risk). Depends on which way market heads after you make those investments.

If you have only 20k to invest, it is advisable to park the money in a liquid fund and thereafter transfer the money to equity fund of your choice in the same fund house via STP systematic transfer plan over a period of time (lets say 4-6 months)

Happy Investing.
