Point-to-point CAGR from AMFI NAV history, Direct plans only. Ordered by five-year return so the list has a shape, not because the order is a judgement. Past returns do not predict future ones — a fund near the top is usually there because its style suited the last five years, and styles take turns.

Questions people ask
What is a Money Market fund?
Money-market instruments maturing within a year. Treasury bills, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. Credit risk is low by construction because the borrowers are the largest institutions in the country.
Who should invest in Money Market funds?
Conservative parking for up to a year. A sensible holding period is Up to 1 year.
How is this list ordered?
By five-year CAGR computed from AMFI's published NAV history, within one plan type. It is a sort, not a verdict — a fund near the top is there because its style suited the last five years, which is not a promise about the next five.
Should I choose the Direct or Regular plan?
A Direct plan holds exactly the same portfolio without the distributor commission, so its expense ratio is lower — commonly 0.5% to 1.2% a year — and it compounds ahead of the Regular plan for ever. Choose Regular only if you want an intermediary's advice and are content to pay for it annually.
