Quant leads nine flexi-cap funds topping 15% SIP returns
Top flexi-cap funds: 9 schemes delivered over 15% in 10-year SIP returns; Quant, HDFC and Parag Parikh led the pack · livemint.com

Flexi-cap funds are like a smart money box where an expert decides to put your savings into big, medium, or small companies.

Many people invest a little bit every month through something called a SIP.

A study looked at 10 years of monthly investing of ₹10,000 in nine of these funds.

Each one grew the money to more than ₹26 lakh.

The best performer, the Quant Flexi Cap Fund, turned it into about ₹36.5 lakh.

These top funds earned more than 15% every year on average.

But returns are not steady every year — the whole group earned only about 6.4% in the last single year.

These funds can go up and down, so they work best for long-term goals like retirement or children's education.

Experts say you need to be patient and keep investing even when the market gets rough.
