lump sum financial
"in a lump sum at the end of the quarter immediately following"
A lump sum is a single, one-time payment of the full amount owed instead of spreading the same money over multiple smaller payments. For investors, receiving or paying a lump sum affects cash flow, reinvestment opportunities and tax timing—like getting a full paycheck at once rather than regular paychecks—so it changes liquidity, risk exposure and the timing of returns.
