Small- and Mid-Cap Equity Mutual Funds Lead SIP Returns Across Timeframes

Over the past decade, seven diversified equity funds, mainly small- and mid-cap, delivered annualised SIP returns above 20%, significantly growing investments. In FY27 so far, small-cap funds led with average returns over 22%, while some mid-cap and multi-cap funds also posted strong gains.
