International, Small-Cap, and Pharma Mutual Funds Show Strong Returns; SIP Portfolios RecommendedPreviousNext

In August and over the past year, various equity mutual funds delivered notable returns, with international funds leading August gains and small-cap funds dominating one-year performance. Sectoral pharma funds also showed strong returns, driven by factors like US tariff clarity and domestic demand. ETMutualFunds offers recommended SIP portfolios tailored to different risk profiles and investment amounts, helping investors select suitable schemes for long-term goals. Analysts caution that monthly performance may not indicate long-term trends.
