Mutual fund recommendation

There is no single best mutual fund for every investor.

Get the quick answer

There is no single best mutual fund for every investor. Start with the goal, time available and loss you can tolerate, then compare schemes within a suitable category. A recent return ranking can identify funds to investigate, but it cannot establish the best future performer or the right allocation for you.

Best cagr mutual funds

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.

Compare an index fund by its actual benchmark, costs, tracking difference and tracking error, not merely the words “index” or “Nifty”.

Compare an index fund by its actual benchmark, costs, tracking difference and tracking error, not merely the words “index” or “Nifty”. Two passive funds can own very different markets. Decide the exposure first, then compare funds tracking the same index using matching dates and plans.

Which fund is best for SIP

The best SIP is not a separate company or a fixed-interest product.

Get the quick answer

The best SIP is not a separate company or a fixed-interest product. A SIP is a recurring purchase instruction into a mutual fund. Choose the scheme for your goal and risk capacity, then choose an affordable contribution schedule. Compare like-for-like funds and avoid selecting a SIP only because it recently reported the highest return.

Best mutual funds to invest in 2023

A “best fund” list from an earlier year is a historical screen, not a current recommendation.

Get the quick answer

A “best fund” list from an earlier year is a historical screen, not a current recommendation. Reconstruct the list using the data, plan, universe and end date that were available then. Using today’s surviving schemes and their later returns introduces hindsight and can change which funds appear to have been the winners.
