Best Mutual Funds in India (by 5-Year Return)
Updated June 2026 · 25 active funds · data from AMFI NAVs
Indian equity funds ranked by 5-year CAGR from AMFI NAVs. A five-year window smooths out single-year luck better than a one-year table, but it still rewards whichever segment was in favour over the period and excludes funds younger than five years. Treat this as a starting screen, not a recommendation: check each fund's category, volatility and drawdown before drawing conclusions. No paid placement.
