Small- and Mid-Cap Equity Funds Lead SIP Returns; Few Debt Funds Sustain Long-Term Gains
Recent analyses of mutual fund performances highlight that small-cap and mid-cap equity funds have dominated SIP returns over three, five, and 10-year periods, with asset management companies like Invesco, Quant, and Nippon India frequently leading. In contrast, only a few debt mutual funds, mainly credit risk and medium duration funds, have sustained double-digit SIP returns over a decade. Experts advise investors to consider their goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizons when selecting funds, rather than relying solely on past performance.
