FAQs on Top Return Mutual Funds

What is a top return mutual fund?

It refers to funds that have generated the highest annualized returns (CAGR) over a given period, such as 5 years.

Are top return funds always the best choice?

Not necessarily. High past returns don’t guarantee future performance. Always check risk levels, consistency, and understand if they suit your goals.

Should I invest only in top return funds?

No. A diversified portfolio across different fund types is better for managing risk and achieving long-term goals.

Is chasing the top-return mutual fund a good strategy?

Your advisor can guide you best here. Picking the highest-return fund may look attractive, but it carries risks of inconsistency.

For balanced exposure, a flexi-cap may be considered. .
