Funds with highest returns

Highest historical return depends on the category, plan, option, end date and period being ranked.

Get the quick answer

Highest historical return depends on the category, plan, option, end date and period being ranked. A ten-year CAGR is different from a ten-year SIP XIRR. Use a dated, like-for-like comparison and inspect downside risk before interpreting a leader. No published historical rank determines which fund will deliver the highest future return.

TRY IT WITH YOUR INPUTSReturns by category Choose a category, plan and observation period. The return order is historical arithmetic, not a recommendation or expected return.
