10 Mutual Funds with Highest Returns in 10 years

Investors would pick mutual funds based on risk appetite, tenure and financial goals. On the other side, there are plenty of mutual funds to filter even after considering these parameters. Annualized returns would show high during bull-run and low during bearish markets and rolling returns provide how consistently the fund is performing compared to benchmark and peers. Another metric to check is the SIP returns. This is similar to rolling returns, but with some difference. Which are the Top 10 Mutual Funds with Highest SIP returns in 10 years in India?

What are SIP Returns in Mutual Funds?

SIP refers to the Systematic Investment Plan. In SIP, investors can invest fixed amount in mutual funds at regular intervals which could be daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly. Popular one is monthly SIP.

Computing SIP returns is not that simple compared to computation of returns for lump sum investment in mutual fund.

Let me explain with an example. You have invested Rs 1,000 for 12 months through SIP. The invested value is Rs 12,000 (Rs 1,000 x 12). Assume your investment is grown to Rs 15,000. Generally, investors would divided profit with investment i.e. Rs 3,000 / Rs 12,000 = 25%. This is simple return for all mutual funds invested during the period, irrespective  lump sum or SIP. Here 25% is not a SIP return.

SIP returns in mutual funds is where each SIP amount + tenure needs to be considered while arriving SIP returns. The first SIP amount might earn higher returns (assuming markets are going up) compared to 2nd SIP amount and so on.
