Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good return rate for mutual funds?

Historically, equity-oriented mutual funds have delivered 10-15% annual returns over long periods. However, past performance doesn't guarantee future returns.

Should I choose SIP or lumpsum investment?

SIP is ideal for regular investors as it reduces market timing risk. Lumpsum works well when you have surplus funds and believe in current market valuations.
