Top Performing Mutual Funds India 2025
Mutual funds are very popular among financial enthusiasts these days as they help in enhancing and building their wealth extensively. A mutual fund is an investment scheme that is professionally managed and it is coordinated by an asset management company (AMC). The AMC brings several individuals together and helps them in investing their funds in a wide range of securities such as bonds, stocks, etc. People with minimal and high financial knowledge are increasingly investing their money in mutual funds.
When we discuss a mutual fund's performance, we need to understand that it is always expressed according to its overall returns. This refers to the aggregate of the change in the net asset value (NAV) of a mutual fund, its capital gains distributions, and its dividends. This is assessed over a fixed period of time.
