Five-Year SIP and Retirement Mutual Funds Show Varied Returns Across Categories
Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and retirement mutual funds have shown varied returns over five years, with sectoral funds like infrastructure and pharma healthcare leading in performance. While sectoral and thematic funds offer higher but volatile returns, diversified funds such as flexicap and largecap provide more stable growth. Retirement funds, featuring lock-in periods and mixed asset portfolios, encourage disciplined investing and long-term wealth accumulation. Investors are advised to consider risk, goals, and fund consistency rather than relying solely on past returns.
