Top 5 Mutual Funds That Delivered Up To 47% Returns In 1 Year: Rs 10,000 SIP In No. 1 Fund Grows To Rs 1.45 Lakh

The combination of five-month foreign investor market withdrawals from India and the geopolitical turmoil and continuous trade measure implementations by U.S. President Donald Trump against Asian, European, African, and Latin American countries triggered global market volatility.

The turbulent market conditions allowed gold-linked mutual funds to showcase superiority among all other investment options. Mutual funds that used domestic gold price indexes outperformed all other funds by taking advantage of record-breaking gold rate increases at home and abroad during the previous year. The investment returns from these mutual funds reached a maximum of 47% during one year.
