That somehow surprises me. Can you link such a study ?

You received one good set of links, but I'm pretty sure I first read of it from a Meb Faber study that I'm not in a position to look up right now. He has done a lot of work on simplifying and making investable decent and straight forward strategies for long term investment.

Bem Felix's channel ia a great place to find empirically based investing advice. All of his videos cite the papers where the information he spouts can be sourced. About lump sum investing, you can check this video:

TLDW: just invest it all, right now, in value small caps.

“Value small caps” is the consensus among Ben Felix viewers, but not really outside of that group as far as I know. He’s very convincing but I’m not sure I’d recommend everyone does that, compared with buy and hold S&P 500 or total market index.
